October!!!

Dogs, Dogs, and Jared's new diet. Well, October has thus far been an eye opening month. Much has gone on and much has come into perspective. But that's for later. First the PUPPIES! There are 5 dogs this time. They are all just to cute and fun.

Our friend Wicket. Wicket is a close relative to my Mother-in-law's dog Deuce. Christin chose the name Wicket because he looks like the Ewok from Star Wars. He definitely acts like Wicket... I'm guessing that it is a Shih Tzu behavior. He has tude and loves to show off. Not much else to say.

This Border Collie was a tough one to name. His color does not reflect his personality at all. So, I will let you tell me what his name should be. So, this time there is two competitions. Name the BC (Border Collie) and what dog should we get?. The BC is a wonderful friendly and outgoing puppy. He is intrigued by everything and wants to learn and figure it all out. He is shy also, but he warms up to you real quick. He is very playful and wants to be in charge. He is not scared of other dogs no matter how much they out way him.

Tiger is an English Mastiff. He reminds me a lot of the Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz. He just needs to fill in his paws and become that dominating dog he was meant to be. He is a cuddly, snugly giant and would not harm a fly. Don't get me wrong he does let out one frightful bark but behind that bark is a small peaceful heart.

This Norwich Terrier is Teddy Bear. He is snugly and kind hearted but if you push the wrong button he will protect whomever he loves the most. He is very obedient already and will listen to small commands. He also puts a lot of trust in his Master's and those his Master's brings around. Teddy is from a proud line of dogs and will make his new Master(s) proud some day too.

This Shiba Inu is Smirks. Smirks is very playful and love to be the winner always! But there comes a time when Smirks is all smirks and trouble lurks just seconds or even hours away. He is all white and very gorgeous. He of course will not add any new color. Smirks reminds me of some one I know. Who it could be?

Well, there are the puppies. Comment and let me know who should be the winner. I guess I should let you know who the two top dogs were of September. In Second place came General the English Bulldog. Drumroll please. In First place is.... DUKE the Australian Shepherd!

Part II: So, I am on a new diet. In the beginning of the month. October 4th, 2008, I do believe. I went to the hospital with a sharp pain in the groin region. I had been experiencing it all day and was unsure as to what it might be. We were having a family party celebrating Elizabeth's birthday and enjoying the company of my Father. Since he works in Utah now and is home only every other weekend or so. Any who. I went to go watch some college football and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. When I all of a sudden wanted to keel over and die. I was in so much pain I went to the hospital. Before we went Dad, Darren, and Grandpa C. (who's name also begins with D) gave me a blessing. My Mother drove Christin and I in our truck to the hospital. As because Christin was to worried to drive. I could have but I decided not to. Upon arriving and describing a TEN as to the pain I felt I was admitted rather quickly. The next few hours are kinda boring. Christin might have fun writing about that. They did a a Urine and Blood Analysis and a Catscan. Nothing was wrong. Was their analysis. I was prescribed Hyrdocodon for the pain until I could see my doctor. Six days later I saw good old Dr. Bob. After explaining my diet over the past 6 months, my exercise routine and several other things. Dr. Bob concluded that I might have Diverticulitis. (I think that spelling is right.) Well, that is where your colon gets these pockets to form coming of your colon. Then when you eat seeds, nuts, processed food, and other hard to digest food gets stuck causing a great deal of irritation and PAIN! Lots and lots of PAIN!!! So I am a high fiber diet. Guess what it is working too. Oh I forgot to mention that those that are usually diagnosed with this are 50 years of age or older. Go me :( . So, I am watching what I eat and making sure to stay of the Segway at work and walk a lot more. I am good now no more worries. Though I do owe Christin a book from Barnes and Noble or somewhere like that for putting her through all of this. Well, that has been our month thus far. More to come later.

I like the BC - and that particular dog should be named Blue Eyes.

The hospital story is interesting. That is not the wya Christin told it to me. Hmm. The ending was the same though.

My mom has this and actually had it SO BAD that she had 10 inches of her intestines removed. SEVERE.

She missing eating raspberries. She grew up on a farm and when she visits, she can't eat them anymore - seeds.

lol - I love you, but I have to say that my husband's name is spelled Daryn. It's a completely uncommon way to spell it, so he's used to it being wrong, but well, you know how Kati feels when people put an e on her name. :) Also, you should update your blog again! It's November! Do you have a new list of dogs?
