After the pup's rough day yesterday, he has been trying to recover today. BF said he slept alot this morning, and he is sleeping again now. He is still having diarrhea everytime he poops, but the good news is that he hasn't vomited up his food anymore. He has gagged a little, but hopefully it's getting better.

I fed him one can of his special dog food tonight, and I'm going to give him the boiled chicken & rice later. I figure smaller amounts are probably easier on his upset belly.

It's weird, because I've always had pets, but I feel like something strange is happening to me with him. Granted, we always had outside dogs, cats, horses, chickens, pigs, etc., so I wasn't around them 24/7 like I am our pup, but it's still different. It's almost like I can feel my motherly instinct coming out or something.

When I was laying out his fresh blankets (smelling of dryer sheets), it felt good for me, just to know that he would enjoy them. Weird...

I got the new carpet cleaner today, and put it together, but haven't shampooed yet. BF was excited to see how good it works compared to our old one, I just hope it's AS good. It came with a bottle of the cleaning solution, which is nice.

BF gets off work in 40 minutes, and I have no idea what I'm doing for our supper yet. I'm sure all this late-night eating is doing wonders for our weight-loss goals, but I feel bad eating without him, and I feel like it gives him something to look forward to when he gets off. I made some pretty good crusted-fish the other day, and I'm thinking I'll do the same thing with chicken tonight. Maybe.

BF is supposed to find out tonight whether he is going to get a paycheck next week. I found out from the girl that I work with that also works part-time at the same chain as BF, that they get paid bi-weekly on Wednesdays. But, I'm not sure if BF will get a paycheck this time, because he just started and all. It would be VERY nice if he did. Alot of pressure off the budget.

Tomorrow is supposed to be my day off, and the day that BF & I go grocery shopping, but I have to work now. I switched days so that I could have off when BF's sister/bro-in-law/niece come up, but it is making for a long work week. They will be here on Tuesday night, and I have alot I need to get done before then around the apartment.

That's it for now, I'm off to create some supper for the hungry boys!

    I'm interested in buying a carpet shampooer, but I'm not sure which brand would be best. I was looking at the Bissell Pro Heat and Hoover, but I don't know yet. What brand did you buy?

    Yes, he is quite spoiled... but then again, so are we. Smile
    Blue Eyes - I went with the Hoover SteamVac (Silver). The one we had before was a Hoover, but a much older model that my mom gave us when we moved. It was still running great, until our pup chewed the cord in two of course. I'd say it was about 5-10 years old, so a pretty good lifespan.

    I researched some different models on Walmart's website, and read alot of reviews. The SteamVac had really good reviews, and is reasonably priced. I really don't know alot about Bissell, it could be just as good.

    You can buy it online for about $145, but at the Walmart where I was at (and it's usually relatively more expensive), it was only $140. If it works as good as the other one, definitely worth the investment! Just wait until you see all the junk that comes out of your carpet!
