Armada99's blog

Well Biscuit survived.  We took her to the vet sunday afternoon after tryng to get her to keep anything down.  She got an IV catheter in her right front leg and hooked up to a bag of iv fluid with various drugs and minerals in it.  After being on it for 6 hours she finally got the whole 1 liter bag infused.  She went from being a little dried up raisin of a puppy to a little dried up grape of a puppy.

Well I've had Biscuit for 8 days now.  I noticed she had been less playful for a couple of days.  Thursday she'd chase her ball and play.  Friday she wouldnt play as long.  Saturday she'd only take a couple of steps and then come back and lay down.  Immediately I was concerned, I was pretty much positive she had parvo.  She tested positive for it dammit.  She'd also lost 1.3lbs since her very first vet visit on Tuesday.  So in 5 days a puppy that had the big puppy belly and filled out her collar looked gaunt and had no more puppy belly.  Went from 17.5lbs to 16.2lbs.  Yikes!

Well I got a dog yesterday.  A local animal shelter up here by the lake where I'm spending the weekend was having a pet adoption drive. 

This is Biscuit.  She's got kindof a fucked up eye, but thats cool.  She was on day 7 of 10 and about to be put down. She's mostly yellow lab and no telling what else.  I guess she's about 3 months old now.  I'm already ready for puppy stage to be over.  She loooooves to bite and chew right now.  I guess she's around 15-18lbs.  She's gonna be a huge bitch.

So its a slow day today and I'm killing time here at work, which undoubtedly you're asking yourself 'What does Armada99 do?'. Well, in addition to being an un-fucker-upper I am a mechanic. I figured since I'm not doing anything I'd make myself available to answer car questions or tire questions or whatever vehicle related querys you might have.

I'm in site chat mostly everyday...so you can either pop into Generalsitechat or the ARXV room and ask away. I'll go to lunch eventually so I might not answer for an hour or more....

So I've been unhappy with job life for the last year or so, lots of traveling, hate co-workers, etc.  I landed a new gig at a place a LOT closer to home, I actually do a lot less and make the same money.  Its rad.  Now instead of having the responsibility and no authority, I have the responsibility AND the authority to go with it.  I get to decide who mops, who scrubs the shitter, who takes out the garbage, and they have to listen to me because they cant go run and cry to their daddy/grandpa/etc.  HA HA HA.  Its kickin ass around here, not as busy as I'm used to.  I'm actually going a littl
