Back..

Well I'm back from the states and as wonderful as it to go back and see everyone, I'm glad to be back. This is home and nothing is like home. I have a great time, and got to spend quite a bit of time with my niece. She was sick for most of it and didn't want to have much to do with me, but in the inbetween time when she wasn't clinging to Grandma or dad she and I had a great time. She is absolutely adorable and has quite a vocabulary now and cracked me up. I love that little girl!!!
I went to Iowa for a weekend and saw my grandparents on both sides. I missed them a lot and it was good to see them. It's amazing how much can change in 9 months, but I believe they will be ok. Also while in Iowa I stayed with one of my very best friends and she took me out to dinner. After dinner she had a bunch of my friends surprise me and I got to see some people that I haven't seen in years!! It was awesome and I'm so happy to have her and my wonderful friends. I also went and saw my mother in law, sister in law and nephew and I was glad I got to see them! I think it made my husbands mom feel better, knowing for sure that he is ok and that everything is ok.
My niece gave me her cold so my brain is not functioning like normal so explaining things is hard. But I will say leaving Zeke was a nightmare. The lady that watched him didn't know anything and was being an idiot. Zeke peed in her house and I got 5 emails and 3 phone calls in 5 days. It was a NIGHTMARE!!! What was I going to do 5,000 miles away she was an idiot and didn't get it when I said he is a handful and needs lots of time and exercise. She wouldn't listen to my suggestion and bitched me out, which she got it right back. I was so mad cause she was telling how I raise my dog is ridiculous and you can't expect people to follow along with this and blah blah blah. I did not appreciate that and I let her know it. I ended up have a friend take him for a a day and night and gave her a break and time to collect herself. When I went to get Zeke he was so excited to see me and I was just as excited. He got so big and his adult fur is coming in wonderfully. The lady didn't really brush him and he was shedding like a monster. You can tell it took a toll on him mentally and some physically but he's turning back into his old self slowly.
I brought my cat back with me. Traveling with a cold and cat was hell and I will never ever travel with a pet by myself ever again. But Max did great and I'm glad he adjust so well. Max is dominating over Zeke. It is hilarious to see a 12 lb cat kick a 60lb dogs ass. I love it and it is quite entertaining. The first encounter Zeke ended up behind my legs hiding. Hilarious! But anyway I need to go and do some unpacking since I've been not doing that. I actually had to shovel a massive amount of snow when I got home since the neighbors didn't attempt to shovel in 3 days of snow. Pissed me off and I might have chat with them. Cause since them and I are the only ones in this building, they need to do there part too. Pissed me off that I had to shovel there walk way to get to my door. I was not pleased to pull my 50lb suitcase through a foot of snow after not sleeping for 24 hours. Anyway have a great day everyone!
