well, i realized when i put my stuff in this aquarium, i don't like it and want to completely redo it with rocks ha ha.  guess i'll have to figure out a trip somewhere to get some!  anywho, besides the chaos of the stuff inside looking really puny and just "wrong" here are a few pics.  also, got 4 new fish today, WHOO HOO!  right size, too.  most of my fish are between 3-4" now, and these are right at about 3 1/2".  the second pic is all four of them, and my oscar being an idiot.  anywho, here are a few pics.

we haven't changed our dogs diet, haven't changed shampoos, nothing.  all of a sudden, the past few days though axle's fur has gotten pretty oily, to the point it feels very nasty.  also, his skin is a little irritated, but just a little pink nothing extreme.  axle does have allergies, but this isn't like his typical problem, usually within a few hours he plucks his hair out and his skin will get so irritated it starts to get raw and sometimes bleeds if he keeps biting at it (pollen causes some problems, but its mostly flea bites and carpet / air fresheners that cause the biggest problems).  i've noticed he has completely stopped cleaning himself, could this cause his fur to get too oily and irritate his skin, since he's usually cleaning himself a often??  i'm clueless as to what has caused this, any ideas? 

so yesterday scout went home with her new mom and dad.  i'm still very sad, but i know it's for the best.  last night i e-mailed them to see how she was doing and ask them how they liked her, and this was her dad's reply.

"She is a sweetie! We left Petco and stopped off at Petsmart and did a little shopping. She did a great job in the store( her tail got me in a little trouble as it cracked a older gal on the backside, she gave me a ditry look then realized it was a tail and not my hand) Gotta love big dogs! She is doing well, as she is laying on the futon behind me as I type. She had a loose B/M, but that is to be expected after the stress of the day. Her tummy has calmed down, slight grumblings only. The introductions went well, better than I expected. I must say THANK YOU! She is all I expected and more. We will start lead training and basic commands over the next couple days. If you like I will keep you posted of her progress. Neil"

i can't find the post about puppy pictures, so i figured i'd just start a new one.  here's a few of axle, the first one he's 3 months old (yes, that's right, this was december and he was born in september :O ) the second is one of him when he was about 8 months old, going through his "up and not out" phase, and then one of axle now.  sorry about the poor quality, i had to take a pic of a pic b/c i don't have a scanner

so this last week my lines outside got jerked around in a storm, and so my phone and my internet got messed up.  the day they were supposed to come out to fix it, the weather acted up again so they had to reschedule, long story short, i got my phone back but not my internet, because i didn't realize i forgot what our password for our internet is.  THEN, out pipes froze a little.  i couldn't get any water to work in our house for a "whole" day and when hubby got home he went to the bathroom (i always knew he was full of hot air) and they started working again   so THEN, yesterday, it has been decided that scout must go to a new home without kids.  aiden sat next to her and apparently sat on her foot (nothing is wrong with it, she just doesn't like kids touching her at all) and bit aiden.  not like a nip, i mean like aiden wasn't even looking at her and she took the back half of his head in her mouth.  luckily, she didn't bite down hard enough to do any real damage, and only left two scratches on his head.  she's ONLY like this with kids so it's really frustrating b/c the guy told us she was great with them.  everyone agrees that it's time for her to go to a "no kid house."  anyone interested??  also, last night we cooked chicken strips in the deep fryer.  well, apparently it smelled SO good b/c while i was waiting for it to cool off all the way i took a bath and diesel knocked the deep fryer off the counter and licked up every bit of oil that got ANYwhere in the kitchen.  funny, yes, but he is now barfing everytime he moves.  the vet says to just give him some time and bland food.  on a high note, i got on to hubby for spending $20 on a lottery ticket, and afterwards he called me back to tell me he won $500 off of it    just goes to show bad luck can pick just one person in a couple ha ha.  i missed you guys so much this week!

i play an online text based game and in my profile i have to use bb codes but i'm at a total loss, and even after reading the "how to's" online i can't make any sense of it!

and one of axle eating a piece of pepperoni ha ha.
