Getting past the hurt?

How do y'all get past the hurt that others have caused you?? I mean directly and indirectly caused you? I find I have been hurt very deeply by people I love very dearly and It bothers me and makes me sad a lot. I know you can't change others and you can't make them care but how do you let it go or get over it?? Just thought I would see what y'all think.

crazy week with pets!!!

I wish I had pics and video for this post. Kohanna is doing much better. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. He is my baby and had me prity worried. He no longer has a fever and seems to slowly be getting back to himself. Giardia itself is not necessarily deadly but its effects can be. It can cause severe diarrhea which leads to dehydration and it also causes the small intestines to quit absorbing nutrition so it is prity nasty. We are just doing the best we can to get him better and hoping no one else comes up with it.
Well my other pet causing a ruckus is our cats this week. I went out to feed my horses at 5:20am and heard Tonka meowing, I was talking to him and realized it wasn't coming from his bedroom window, it was coming from a tree!!! YIKES!!! They are indoor kitties only and I look up and the screen is gone on the window. I look in and it is inside and no kitties. I start calling for target and nothing and now I gotta figure out how to get this other silly cat out of the tree. We have had it happen one other night where one of the local Farrel cats jumped through the window and started a ruckus and I had forgotten to close their window before bed so I think that is what happened again. Finally I find Target under the porch and now I got to get Tonka out of tree. I know everyone says just leave em they will come down, well yes they might but he is strictly indoors so he doesn't have a lot of strength in his claws and such since he isn't able to climb trees and such inside. So there is me at 5:30 in the morning climbing the tree and can't get close enough and the poor scared out of his whiskers cat won't come down the steep branch to me. I would have used a ladder but yes they are all still in storage in South Dakota. So me I start thinking and searching and I find a plastic crate and some rope so I tie it so it won't tip and after 3 throws get it up and over the branch he is on. It took about 3 minutes but the stinker actually crawled in the basket and let me lower him down to me. YES I SOOOOOOOOOOOOO needed a video camera at the time. I was almost late for work but at least I had my babies back safe.
So I hope that is all the excitement for a while with the pets. Never dull with all them that is for sure!

giardia...Really!


Ok I know giardia is around a lot and a lot of people get it. But I didn't realize it was so abundant in dogs. My poor old dog wasn't doing so hot yesterday afternoon. I thought he just got to warm outside. I have him in our huge stock trailer with all the sides out and fans going but he seemed not so hot so I cooled him slowly with water and put him by the fan and took his temp. 104.5:( YIKES!!! started watching him closely and monitoring and it started going down after couple hours and was at 103.1 and he started acting better but this am he was back to 104.1 so it was on the phone to find a vet to see him. Luckily the vet in rifle could have me drop him off and they were awesome so it is nice to know I have a good vet close and reasonably priced, even though it was an expensive visit. Turns out he has giardia and another bacteria so he is on couple antibiotics and pain meds for the cramping. POOR GUY:( So now I have to watch the others and hope they didn't catch it. I am bleaching everything and having to clean the whole yard. Now we are concerned it came from our drinking water:( He hasn't been anywhere in a long while so either our water or out of the ground. But with the river so high and flooding it may have leaked into our well water they said. Probably need to have our water tested. At least we never drink our water. So a missed day of work, a sick dog, and a lot of cleaning equal a not so fun day. But hey I am just sooooooooooo happy it wasn't something worse!!! He is my baby of almost 11 years so him being safe and on the mend is all I need right now!!!

An awesome day trip!!!

So Eric decided to take me on a day trip and not tell me where till we got there. Since it was only for the day he decided to stay kind of close and enjoy the beauty we haven't seen around here. So we took I-70 up which is always pretty to hwy 24 got off there and headed towards leadville and then up over Independence pass to aspen and then home. It was some of the most stunning views ever!!! I couldn't believe there was still that much more snow and they even had to clear a avalanche that had slid across the road since opening it a couple days ago. It was crazy!!! To stand at the top of Independence pass and see the Rockies from there was beyond amazing!!! It was just a nice day to get away and forget all the stress going on right now with my job. GOD is so awesome like that:) It was simple but sooooooo nice!







Twin lakes off Hwy 24. SOOOOOOOOO beautiful and the lakes were so clean and clear!




Check out how High the snow still is (no one sneeze)and how appropriately I am dressed for our outing! I didn't know what we were doing obviously!!


They were even clearing an avalanche that just happened. It was kind of scary with all the snow still up there!



walking out to view point at Independence pass I stepped in the wrong spot and yes I was stuck in there prity well.





AMAZING!!!!

Cruise anyone??


Just dreamin!!! But sounds like sooooo much fun doesn't it! I went on one cruise with some girlfriends in '06. It was amazing and sooooo cheap for the fun you get to have. I have been really wanting to go on another and take my husband. He has never done anything like that so it would be awesome. It is always fun to dream. I am hoping maybe in the next few years we will be doing better and able to do that. I am just happy Eric's been getting more hours lately so we can get some of the pressing payments made. Hoping it keeps up and we can start paying things off and savings and then fun here and there to:) Never know!!!
