Shake Down!
As many of you know that there is never a dull moment in my house. Well, it seems as though it has been dull until today. To let you know this is going to be a long blog.
I had just taken a shower as my husband and I were going to run to the grocery store in a while. I sat down at the computer and was reading someone's blog. Reyna, my dog started barking as usual over every little sound and I looked at her as she was peering out the window. My dogs are my ears for me and whenever they do bark I always get up to see what any of the dogs are barking about. I had noticed the hair on her fur was standing up. This seemed a little odd I thought and curious as I was, I had gotten up and looked out the window.
Every watched the TV show cops when they are about to invade a house? This is what I saw. Six or 7 cop cars race up into my driveway with at least 20 cops dodging out of the car with their guns held close to them as each scattered in all different directions on my property. My first thought was they were going after someone that had come onto my property but then I saw a few take position behind their car and my son-in-law's car. My heart flew out of my chest and I started hyperventilating and shut my computer room door so that that dogs wouldn't follow me.
I raced down the stairs where my husband was and he is a sleep in the recliner and I yelled to him "Get up the Fucking cops are here and surrounded the house!" He literally flew out of the recliner and we went to the door and threw open the door. He went first and held his hands up and the cops were yelling him to get down. He got down on his belly with his hands over his head. They see me, and yelled get out and I held my hands up as well and a couple of cops directed me to get behind them. I am flipping out and told the cop I don't need this kind of drama in my life and I feel like I am going to pass out. Not good for someone who has high blood pressure. So anyway, they did a quick search on my husband and tell him to stand behind them by another vehicle. The cop turns to me and says "Where is he" referring to my son-in-law. I show him the window where he is, and then warn them that there are 4 dogs in that house, and three being Pitt Bulls. Now, they really don't want to go in there, and are trying to figure out how to get my son-in-law out. Being a smart ass I said here I will help you and I started to go around the car and I was gonna go in the house and rip his dam body out of the house and he grabbed me to keep me from proceeding. We noticed that the bedroom window was open so, I yelled as loud as my big fat mouth would yell and said "Edwin, get your fuckin ass out of my house now!" I said it several times. We waited and waited for some 15 minutes but he didn't respond. I yelled again. From what I gathered later he was a sleep is why he didn't respond. But, anyway, the dumb ass lets the dogs out of the bedroom in hopes that Reyna will attack one. All of a sudden I see Boon, the puppy, and then King running out but no Reyna. The one dog that I thought would harm someone didn't come out. She sat at the top of the stairs and didn't move. Edwin, slowly comes out of the house and of course like you see on cops he has about 5-6 guys grabbing him and slamming him down into the snow. The expression on his face showed WTF? He had no dam clue why they were there and what he had done apparently. I walked over to him and yelled at him to stay the fuck away from my daughter as well as my family. But, I really didn't know what the fuck I was yelling at him for cause I didn't know what the hell he had done. We then asked what he had done. They told us that he apparently threaten to kill a cop. I had no words and just a shocked look on my face when I heard that.
They then asked to search the house. I said you can search his room but no where else as he only uses that room, the bathroom, and perhaps the kitchen but that is where all his belongings are and no where else in the house. So, I escorted them into the bedroom and just like on cops they ripped the bedroom apart. It is a total disaster now. They didn't find anything in that room. No weapons, no drugs, no nothing. Then, they though, oh perhaps the guns were in his car. We looked high and low for the keys and only found the keys to the Lexus. So, he permitted them to break the window of the car. None of them wanted to do it. So, my husband goes into the garage and comes out with an ax and it took three tries to get the window to smash. Of course they all made this comment that the car was bullet proof. They tear that car apart. Nothing in there. Then they go to the other car. Nothing in there as well.
Mean while we now have an audience of neighbors, and passing cars literally stopping and watching this whole drama. My town is a quiet town. Nothing happens here really and this is fun watching for everyone. My sons friend father saw the drama and gets out of the car and proceeded to step into the property only because he thought his son was at the house but the two had just left and the cop told him to get away or he be arrested for obstructing an arrest.
We had two neighboring town cops there. My town and Norwalk cops since he is known to be down there as well. And, the FBI as well. The cops were every where. They took him down to Norwalk Police Station. We then called our daughter at work to inform her. Of course we are arguing with her, etc., about the whole shit that went down. She only had about 15 minutes of work left and then began calling any police station to see where he was and to get some answers on WTF was going on.
My daughter doesn 't take shit from no one and not from the cops either as they especially Norwalk cops are known to stretch the truth about things. So, she finds him and gets to the station and demands some answers, and demands to see him. She was brought into a room so they can talk to her and they wanted to arrest her for just being the wife. Of course my daughter and her nasty mouth more or less told them to fuck off and demanded to see him. They bring her where he is and she jumps all over him and the Cop in which is a distance cousin to my son-in-law was in the room along with the officer that said he threaten to kill him. That officer then tells the Cop that he never threaten to kill him and that so and so in which is a good friend of Edwin's ratted him out claiming that he threaten to kill him. Edwin doesn't understand why his friend is doing this as they have known each other for many years.
Come to find out that the guy that made the faults statement of him being threaten also turned on his father, his brother, and someone else. They learned that this guy is nuts and he tried to kill him self in front of his daughter when they questioned him at his home.
Meanwhile, the cops wanted to search my husband's sister's house and my daughter said what for. We don't live there. We just have mail going there and our licensee says that is our address. So, my daughter calls his Lawyer and tells her this. Their Lawyer said to let the babies have their way and that she needed to escort them to her Aunt's house. So, while that is going on the cops were already at the house. Without a warrant. They get there and she is like ripen mad and screaming at them that she said she almost got arrested for her mouth. She and the rest of the cops go into the house and they tell her to stay in the kitchen. She wasn't about to listen to them and went into the livingroom so she can watch what they are doing and follows them so that they don't plant anything. She later calls her Aunt to tell her what happened and she was in Texas on business and when she gets home she will file a suit against them.
My daughter is calling us every step she is doing and tells me she got a bondsman and his bond is $2,000 and she has to come home and get the money that they have stashed in the room to get him out. So, come Monday he will need to go to court to have all this misunderstanding taken care of as the cops said.
Do you fuckin believe this. What horse shit? Oh, and they slapped a charge on him saying he resisted an arrest. He did not. I watched what they did as well as my husband. He cooperated with them after having been there and done that before and knows better. My daughter said that he has bruises and cuts all over him. Well, they are known to be rough and Edwin is a big guy.
Okay, I think my drama for the year is done...lets move on with 2006. Dam, it has only been 6 days into the New Year and this shit.
Oh, I said to the cop "Dam, this is like watching the show cops!" His response was "It is like the show cops, only your living it"

So, It's My Birthday Today...
My husband and I decided to go to the town we use to live in to visit a friend of ours. As a matter of fact our friend's Birthday is today too. His real name is Gill but every one calls him Jill. We all think Gill just doesn't fit him and who knows what his mother was thinking when she had him. She named the second son Greg.
Anyway, Jill was up in the attic redoing it with 4 other guys who we know and one being our nephew. His father, that lives next door use to live in this house gave him the house but not the other son because he was to irresponsible and wouldn't get off his ass to work. There was a bit of a war there with the two and Jill was willing to let him be part owner but his brother didn't want to help fix up the place or get a job and help pay for the material. Then, Jill was demanding rent money from him and he wouldn't pay that either. Later on the brother moved to Florida. So, everything worked out for the best. He also has his nephew living with him and we just learned that his wife's brother will be living there too soon since he is separated from his wife.
After the visit we went to Appleby's for a late lunch. I tell you, they serve really good food there. Today, I decided to have this southwest chicken. It was so darn good. They have a special for $12.99. You get this appetizer of corn chips with southwest cheese sauce, the Southwest chicken, and a piece of raspberry cheesecake. We couldn't eat the cheesecake so we asked them to put it in a container for later. I just had a had it and man oh man was that good too. I gotta make this some time again. Just fabulous.
What did I get for my Birthday? I went on line and did my own shopping. I bought a software program called Paint Shop Pro 9. Want to do some of my own graphics. I also want a Wacom Graphire Tablet. I am still shopping for other things. LOL!

Getting Back To Normal
I am glad all the holiday's are done and over with and things have returned to normal. With all three holidays in a row it is enough to make anyone insane! The decorations are down and back up in the attic. I can now reclaim my living room again. I tell you, with the decorations up it is more cluttered. I know it is nice and all but my gosh the stuff you put up to make the house look nice. I didn't up everything like I normal do since I had rented a dumpster just a couple weeks before Christmas and threw out my entire living room set, my recreation room set, the entire garage full of crap. And, would you know I need to rent another dumpster. It truly amazes me the amount of crap we have in our homes. Really, do you use most of it? So, my living room was bare and I really had no place to put decorations. Just on the wall and a few places. That's it.
We did get our new furniture the week after Christmas. It would have been nicer before Christmas. Oh well.
My Max is coming along but just the other day his ear was bleeding all over the place. Ugh, back to the Vet again. So, the Vet had a solution to the problem. Take a look at the picture. I know, he looks sad, and at the same time it is funny. We were laughing so hard in the Vet's office. I am sure the dog would have gotten down off the table and bit our ass for laughing. Needless to say, he removed his funny turbo off his ear quickly. He ran out of the car and found the nearest bush and pulled it off. Serves us right for laughing at him. But, we had to redo it all over again.
While we battle with Max, our Reyna is in heat. Yes, we need to fix her but in the mean time this is what we have to do when she is in heat. Yes, that is a diaper you see on her. And, yes, she looks unhappy, and rather embarrassed too.
So, what else is new. Oh ya, I will be another year older tomorrow. Yup, creeping up to 50 but not there just yet. Two more years and I will be climbing over the hill. What are my plans...who the heck knows.

Happy New Year
Well, now that Christmas is over and the New Year is coming in. I hope everyone had a great holiday and Santa was good to everyone.Our family did it's usual Christmas Eve tradition and went over to my husband's sister's house. At one time everyone use to come over but ever since the death of his mother 10 years ago it has gotten smaller. This is okay since he has a large family. Most Italian families do. My husband is the baby of the family and has 5 sister's and 1 brother. Having everyone pile into this small cape house in which belonged to his mother and now belongs to his sister. The year his mother died, she was going to stop doing this tradition but we talked her out of it and told her that her Mother would want her to continue the tradition. The family grew too much that it was hard to have everyone there at once. See, when I got married I gained 17 nephews in one day and I am a Great Aunt to 17 nephews as well. There are only 4/5 nieces I have on his side of the family. Anyway, it was pleasant. Then on Christmas day we go back over to the sister that had Christmas Even and exchange gifts with her. She is my husband real sister and the other 4 are his step-sister, and brother. Then off to his late Aunt's house for the traditional Christmas dinner. Of course we start off with appetizer then the 3 course meal. Santa was really nice this year.
My Max is doing well and home. He see's the Vet 2 times a week to make sure we are treating him properly and so far we are taking good care of our dog. We do keep him separated from the other's and got one of those playpen's for kids and let him walk around in that. We have gates all over our house. I feel like I am trying to keep my kids off of furniture etc. Well, I am. I bought new furniture and I am banding them from the living area. I also have new furniture down stairs as well. Since my husband spends his time down there he can watch the dogs carefully so that they do not make their new bed on our new furniture.
As we approach the New Year how many are setting those New Year Resoultions for themselves and what are they. I have only created at least 3 things since I don't want to set myself up to fail. 1. Loose 10 pounds. 2. Find a job 3. Redo the house in which I am in the process of doing so I am well on my way to accomplishing them.
Happy New Year....

I got my Baby!
Went to the Vet and he explained what needed to be done and then he brought Max down and he was sooooo HAPPY to see us I cried. Then, he put him on the examining table to show us just what to do. He has to see the Vet Tuesday. Will probably have to bring him 2xs a week but that is okay since he comes home to me.As we pulled up into the drive way he knew he was home and tore out of the car and ran into the yard.
You can see how his ear is.
When we got into the house the puppy, Boon Koon, jumped the gate and was waiting at the top of the stairs for us. She was shaking since it has been 3 weeks since she seen Max and almost forgot about him. Then, she recognized his sent and was wagging her tail. The others of course were curious about him. Since I had bought one of those circle playpens that can open up and I had surrounded his cage so they can't get too close to him.
We did something crazy yesterday. We were driving to find a gate for Max and as you might know we are in a desperate need of another vehicle as the one I have has 210,000. The car is still running but it is only good for around the town type driving now. None of this long hauling driving as she once was able to do. There is a used car lot at the end of our road and we are always looking to see if there is a car that we like and for a reasonable price. We both spotted a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo that is hunter green. Ah, my favorite color. All of a sudden we are in the parking lot looking at the car. The inside is clean, the outside no dents with just a few scratches but who cares. The price is $5995. but I think I can talk him down. So, I go inside and inquire about the car. We get the keys and take the car for a spin and come back and I said I will give you $5600. for the car and the guy said okay. We went to the bank, to our Insurance Agency, and back to the dealer. He sends out his guy to the Motor Vehicle and by 4:00 I got my self a car. We spotted the car at 1:00 in which the car wasn't there yesterday. Within 3 hours we got ourselves a car.
We then went home and had dinner and went back out to Bob's Furniture and got our furniture we spotted a couple of weeks ago and ordered it. We will have the new furniture December 26th.
MAX IS COMING HOME TODAY!
I have been really busy and need to seriously catch up on blogging. Thanks for all your support and prayers .
I spent part of the day wrapping up my daughter's gifts for her while my husband went out to lunch with his boss and the other guys at work. He really likes his new job that he started this year and gets along with the boss really well. He was telling me one day in the office a client had called and one of the other guys answered the phone and they told the client that the boss was unavailable because he was in the back room with the secretary stuffing the ole turkey as he does every year. The client took it the wrong way and was like I see he is busy and will call later. They all had a good laugh over it. Seems that they do this kind of crap all the time to the clients. Even the boss will say perverted stuff on the phone from what I gather. Anyway, he loves working there and is glad he left the other company in which he heard they want him back. He told me he wouldn't go back if they gave him a $10 raise. Money doesn't mean anything at a job unless your happy.
After he got home in which was around 4:00 we went out so I can finish my shopping in which was a few things. He took me to Applebie's for dinner but he didn't eat since he had just ate. We got home around 8:30 and started watching Scare Face and then popped in the movie that I had got from Netflix Herbie Fully Loaded. Cute movie.
MAX IS COMING HOME TODAY...............

Good News!
Max ~ No Cancer!
What a cry of relief this is!
Went to see Max and the Vet explained what he had done. He said that when Max scratched his ear on the backside to death he had punctured two holes in his ears to cause the bad infection and like I said before they had to stitch the holes up. Then of course the cut he had to make to keep draining the ear and the other cut to take of the growth or tumor and the results should be in on Monday. This is gonna cost us $77 a day for him to be in there so, my husband and I are like no frickin way we can afford this any more and are only alternative is to drain his ear and put medication in ear ourselves. He is gonna have to watch what the Vet does as I couldn't even look at it. I only saw the back side of his ear and how they had shaved all around the ear just grossed me out. So, he is going to be the one that does this and I have to hold him down. The Vet said that we will have to do this for a month or he has to stay at the Vet for a month. Ah, for free maybe but I can't afford this any more.

He is gonna have to watch what the Vet does as I couldn't even look at it. I only saw the back side of his ear and how they had shaved all around the ear just grossed me out. So, he is going to be the one that does this and I have to hold him down. The Vet said that we will have to do this for a month or he has to stay at the Vet for a month. Ah, for free maybe but I can't afford this any more.

Max
Called the Vet to check in on Max. He is sore and to be expected since they had drained more blood from his ear. They took part of the growth out to have it analyze and I am not sure when the results will be in. Apparently the dog had gone crazy scratching his ear before I had talkin him to the Vet and he scratched right through his ear. They had to put 9 stitches in his ear. They are not sure when he will be able to come home. It all depends on the test results and how well he is healing.
While on the phone with the Vet I had made an appointment for the puppy to have her shots etc. She goes in on her Birthday next week. Ouch!
Got the tree in the house but not in the stand. Making progress here. It should be up perhaps next week? Who knows. This season sucks.

A New Author - Mark Barnes
I am not a sports fan but I have a little story to tell you. I am on another blog site and I had gotten an email by this guy asking me how to increase their blogeyes and of course being the smart ass I am I told him that I was a blabber mouth and I like to write about anything. I gave him a point pointers to. Perhaps the pointers were for me rather than the thousands of readers on the internet. I said that while Politics is a great subject it tends to get worn out and if he is prepared to get into a heated political war with other bloggers go right ahead and write about it. I just basically told him to be himself and write what ever comes to mind and if he is good he will get those readers coming back and perhaps someone will blog about him that will make others check out his blog.
He isn't a Blogspot subscriber but I had suggested this to him because I told him that Blogspot is filled with a lot of writers like him and he would mesh in well if he can handle two blogs. So, I had to see who this character is and read his blog. Then, I followed to his website. Ah, he is indeed a sports writer. Football seems to be his specialty. He has written a new novel "The League" by Mark Barnes. He just may be the next John Grisham or James Patterson from what I am gathering of his style of writing. It doesn't matter if he is writing about football to me because after all, he writes suspense or mystery and I read those type of books as well as other type of genre.
If you should be looking for a book for someone that likes sports may I suggest picking up The League or perhaps you may want to read the book as well.

Update on Max
I just want to thank all of you for your prayers for my dog Max. I know I haven't been visiting your blogs lately but I just have too much on my mind lately and will be for the next week. I have lost my spirit of Christmas. As soon as my Max returns home I will feel myself again. I just don't like the fact he is at the hospital all by himself and wondering if he thinks I have abandon him. I gotta find a nice blanket and some treats for his homecoming and he better be home for Christmas.
I just got back from the Vet. I brought my husband with me this time just in case being upset as I am I would miss what the Veterinarian would tell us about Max.
He didn't want us to talk because he didn't want Max to know we were there but the dog knew. The Veterinarian had his assistant bring Max out to show us the ear. I stood by the door, I just couldn't go in and see his ear. I just do not have the stomach for that. Well, even if I had looked at it I would have freaked out. So, it was best my husband went in and looked at the ear. The ear is still draining out from what I could see on the examining table. The assistant was covering Max's eyes but dogs can smell you and know your sent to figure out that your there.
We then went down stairs to talk more about the surgery. What he will do first is take a sample of the growth to determine what kind of growth it is. He said he could just cut the growth out and leave the ear but then that growth will come back or just take the ear off completely. The one main thing he is concerned about is the fact the infection and other medical problems Max is having now he may not make it through surgery. In other words he can die from the surgery. That was it for me. I just cried like a baby when he said that. So, in other words, this surgery is a 50/50 chances of survival from what I am gathering.
The Vet will call to let me know when he will do the surgery. He just wants Max to be on the medication he is on a little longer is why he says he will do it on Monday or Tuesday. So, I forked over another $1,000.00 today.
I told my husband do not get me anything for Christmas. Taking care of Max is my gift and bringing the dog home. He is going to need a lot of special care.

Very Bad News on Max...
Really bad news. Max isn't doing well. The Vet had called my husband's cell phone since he couldn't reach my house phone. I was vacuuming and didn't hear the phone ring until it was too late.
He had explained to my husband that Max has a tumor in his ear. It is cancer. This explains the nose bleed more and his swollen ear. He said he will have to cut the ear off but he believes Max will be fine afterwards. I don't know. Cancer is cancer no matter where. My other dog died of cancer. So, the Vet will be calling me shortly since my husband suggested he call to explain all this to me and my husband wanted to warn me. Max is a Yellow Lab/Golden Retriever.
I am not in the greatest mood and certainly not in the holiday spirit now. I couldn't care less. I won't be able to do any shopping since this surgery is going to wipe us out.
Will keep you posted.

Max, My Dog
Max is in the hospital. He will need surgery on his ear. This dog has mad allergies and we can keep giving him medication for the ear and his skin but it will not go away until we know what he is allergic too. It could be something simple as changing his dog food. I feed my dogs Pedigree and basic crunches. So, we will send his blood work to some specialist out in California that deals with dog allergies. The nose bleeding as I said before he was having. Well, it backed up into his ears and made his ears blow up so they have to drain them. He also has lyme. Poor thing. The Vet said his ear could have burst and it would have made a bloody mess all over the place and lucky I brought him in. So, yes, his ear is infected now. Damage...close to $2,000.00. I told him to give him any shots he needs by contacting his old Vet as I didn't like them any longer because they weren't treated him properly. I am not sure how long he will be in the hospital.

Christmas
As you know my husband got his HDTV on Sunday. Of course he was very, very happy about his gift. I told my son that he had to hook everything up for non-technology Dad but there was one slight problem. The TV I had bought you couldn't just plug the cable wire right into the TV. WTF? You would have thought that the person selling me this TV would have told me that I needed extra equipment to get this working but noooooooooooo! I wouldn't have bought that TV. So, off we went to Circuit City and had to buy a VCR to hook this up. No, I do not have a cable box. I just have the wire that just connects into the TV. That simple, no stupid box. So, we had to spend $54 on a VCR. Hubby says maybe it is time to upgrade the cable. Upgrade!!! Hell, just to have basic and then run the two computers cost close to a $100 a month. Let's just stick with the stupid VCR connecting way. I am not adding another darn bill. This is the only Christmas shopping I have done. My son wants a new Laptop. My daughter doesn't say what she wants and I haven't asked really except for slippers. My dog ate mine. Figures the two men ask for gigantic things and the women under $10.00

Early Christmas Present
My husband is getting his Christmas gift early tomorrow. Yup, he wanted a HDTV and home theater surround sound. I got a good deal on it and it was in stock and grabbed it. Since I had done some shopping around it seems that this model and another sells quickly so I jumped at it.
The other big thing he wants is KitchenAid Artisian Series Stand Mixer, the 5 qt. one - Wants to make his own pasta and saugage. Yup, you can tell he is the cook in the house.
The mixer he is just going to have to wait.
