Things I am thinking about this week.. Rollo

 Little Rollo, when I brought him home, they said he more than likely had hydroencephalitis and wasn’t supposed to make it the next 8 days.   So I took him home, and said “if he dies he dies, at least he will be loved”.  In those 8 days leading up to his untimely estimate of death.  We had a great time.. I took him to the office with me every day, told everyone not to get too involved with him, just because of his condition. Soon he had most people coming to see him everyday and I think this whole town was praying for this poor fella.

 And he is still here… about 8months into our time together Rollo had a brain swelling event.. and he had to spend 3 days in the puppy hospital, but he got a clean bill of health and walked around in circles to the left for weeks..   He has no major issues, but he is very scared of horses and cows and chickens, he kinda lists to the left when he walks and also walks under things whenever he can, and it’s just part of Rollo.  Well Friday Morning Rollo had his second seizure.   We got him to the vet that afternoon and they did blood work, trying to figure out what could cause it.  He had his first seizure in early July.  So we checked all things metabolic and determined it was nothing that had to do with blood sugar or something to that effect.  So he has been diagnosed with Idiopathic Epilepsy.  We are not treating him with any anti-seizure medications yet, due to the fact that he is so young and the medicine will cause liver damage/problems.   But, he is fine,  they are just petit seizures so they aren’t as bad as they could be, and he isn’t disoriented for long after them.

But, that is the big drama for the week here.  Other than my phone took a dive for the worst after the new iOS update.. So, I did some comparison and contrast to the camera on the 7,8 and the X.  Found out the 8 is just as good as the X, and the iPhone X weighs a small ton.  So I went with the 8 plus (it was all they had in stock) and the camera on this joker is awesome… I don’t think I need to buy a new digital camera now.. I found out there are some major tricks you can do with the camera to make it look like a professional camera..  So I’ll figure that stuff out this week..

It’s a rainy dreary fall day here and I’ve made a cup of tea. I went for the Scottish breakfast tea. However;  I started my day off at the Morgue, with some tough cases today.  I did dissect some interesting medical stuff today, so that is a plus.  

We also had the time change last night… that just makes me happy.  I woke up at 4:15 this morning and was able to jack myself up on copious amounts of caffiene… so by the time I hit the hospital coffee had given me unrealistic expectations of productivity. And I was on that streak.. until the bodies were late… and like 8 law enforcement people showed up…  I don’t mind them, in fact they are all awesome.  It’s just too many people in a small spot.. but, it’s fine we all dance a beautiful dance in there. 

But seriously, the best kind of coffee is the coffee where no one speaks to me while I drink it.  And I love the time change back, because I get up pretty early as it is.. and when we fall back an hour I am REALLY up early!

I also got to thinking about the dreaded “holidays” and how many times I will hear the words “I can’t eat that”…… “I’m on a diet” in the next few months… Got me thinking.  

No truer words need to be spoken… Wine and Pizza… I’m in.. and I hope to be like Sophia Loren!

So Try to make this week great you guys…   here is a thought for us women.. Don’t wear anything that don’t make you feel fan-freaking-tabulous.  If it makes you feel frumpy.. throw it out and buy two more things to replace it…
