    Chief Red Cloud 8-31-07

    Week 17 and getting closer to being half done. YAY!!! I think I am going to think twice before I take on such a large project again as I am getting bored with this one. Don't want to start another project just yet as I would have the fear of hearing my Mom's words coming into my head "You never finish what you start!!" So that is why I don't have more then one project going at the same time. Strange how childhood can come back to haunt you during your adult life. lol

    Vicious Dog

    Does this look like the face of a Vicious Dog? My County Health Department thinks so. On August 21 this past Monday night she bit me and bit my Mom. It wasn't her fault at all, she was scared and in pain so she did what only animals do, they bite. Some how her harness got wrapped around her leg and I went to help remove it. She nailed me cause I was hurting her more as it was twisted so tight. My Mom gets up and comes to help me and of course she got nailed too. My Mom is on blood thinner due to her heart and she was still bleeding the next afternoon. She went to the Dr. and got 3 stitches in finger. The Dr. told her he was sorry but he had to report it to the Health Department. grrrr. Today I get a letter from the County Health Department addressed to me since Peajib is actually my dog.
    .
    Dear me, On August 21, 2007 your DOG is reported to have BITTEN or otherwise potentially exposed my Mom to the rabies virus who resides at our address. You are ordered to have your animal confined or quarantined under a veterinarian's care or on your own premises until August 31, 2007. Confinement of your animal means, in this case to prohibit contact of the animal under your control to the public. If this animal should die or be killed or exhibit unusual behavior or show any signs or illness before the end of the confinement period, report it IMMEDIATELY to the County Health Department and your veterinarian. Preserve the carcass on ice or by refrigeration, DO NOT DAMAGE THE HEAD.
    Further, NO DOG OR CAT SHALL BE RELEASED FROM CONFINEMENT UNTIL IT HAS A CURRENT RABIES VACCINATION. It is the recommendation of the Ohio Department of Health that ferrets also be vaccinated when released from confinement. If your animal is a dog or cat you must supply proof that your animal has a current rabies vaccination, or that the vaccination was given after August 31, 2007.
    Failure to comply with this procedure will be in a violation of Section 3701-3-29 of the Ohio Administrative Code and Regulations of the County Health Department which states "no owner, keeper or harborer of a dog, cat or ferret that is four (4) months of age or older shall fail to have such animal currently vaccinated against rabies by or under the supervision of a veterinarian" will result in legal action. Thank you for you cooperation.
    .
    I have to take the form they sent me to the veterinarian to get it signed plus I had to pay $40. WHAT!!!!! My dog does not have rabies, she is never outside and the only other animal she has contact with is her daughter Izzy whom never has contact with any other animal either. Peajib was provoked by me, she is a Yorkie and Yorkies are aggressive since they were produced to fight RATS! grrrr I do know one thing they can fine me or whatever they want, but they will NEVER GET MY DOG FROM ME! Maybe I shouldn't say that, but it's how I feel at the moment.

    Chief Red Cloud 8-24-07

    Week 16 and making progress. I did take one night off from stitching, just needed a lazy night of doing nothing. lol The thread hanging there is 310 and it is part of the border. I would say I am about 3/8 th's finished with the whole project. I have been avoiding the white and thought I would get caught up with the color for now, but I know it's waiting for me. uggg

    Chief Red Cloud 8-17-07
    Week 15 and finally updated here. At least I didn't wait until Tuesday before I updated this time. haha I will try to be more on a schedule and do my updates on Fridays like I use too. No problems this week, just need to spend more time stitching and not online. The lighter area's your seeing are streaks of sunshine coming in through the window, it is not a stain or anything. I would absolutely cry if it was a stain.
    .
    Congratulations
    Meari for buying a new home and Katie over at Jeremiah's Mom for moving into a new home this past week. What an exciting time it is for you. YAY!!!!

    Chief Red Cloud 8-10-07

    Week 14 and finally I am temporarily out of the white. Have very little of the brown to do before it runs into the horn on the right side. Then some light grey over where the feathers are, then back to the white. ugggg!
    .
    I didn't stitch for two days this past week as someone (I am not naming) has been addicted to online gaming again. I downloaded Super Collapse 3 and am to the last level. Wohoo! Don't know why it's so addicting all you do is click on these colored blocks before they reach the top of the screen.
    .
    Some great news now. I got a call from the surgeon's office and have an appointment Sept. 10th. YAY!!!! Finally after everything I have gone through this past 10 months to get this far and it's time to meet the surgeon. That means surgery will possibly be soon and it's just in time as this hernia in the center of my stomach is hurting again so that will be repaired and the gastric bypass will be done at that time too. YAY!!! I am just so excited right now. Will keep you updated as when the surgery will be.
    .
    On the face front, my rash or whatever it is on my face has disappeared some. YAY!!! Strange after 3 series of steroids it comes right back after I finish them and now it is going away on it's own. Oh well as long as it goes away and stays away then that is all that matters. At least I don't look like I have Chicken Pox or Measles on my face now.
    .
    The heat has been HORRENDOUS here with temps up in the high 90's and some days 102 degrees. Thank goodness for the air conditioner cause it's hot, hot, hot and very humid out there. We had a thunderstorm last night and it poured the rain, so you would have thought it would have cooled it down today, NOT! It's still hot and humid out there today, I looked earlier and the temp was 99 degrees. See why I like the snow and cold at least I can cover up when it's too cold but in the heat like this you can only do so much.
