Thanks to Justin...

We are walking on a regular basis again!! Here are some pictures...

This is how Mandi looks when she wants to go on a walk.

Is this La Nana Creek? Not sure. Justin agreed to go on my favorite trails. He prefers to walk on what I like to call the "cement square". Bleh.

Larry doesn't like to walk on the trails either.

Takin' a looksie.

Any dog is willing to cheer up for a treat.

What is this thing? A giant blue bonnet?

Flowers are pretty. The best ones are yet to come!

I Heart Animals Too.

I've loved all kinds of animals for as long as I can remember. So, to continue the photo theme:

So far today...

~Justin and I took Larry and Mandi to the vet. Larry got an "A" on his report card. And our generous vet gave us some free stuff.

~A patient threatened to get a rifle and "blow our kneecaps off".

~I received a phonecall saying that the same patient as mentioned above jumped off a stretcher, ran outside to smoke, and refused to have an exam until given more pain medication. You can jump, run, and smoke, but can't handle an exam because of pain? Uh-huh.

~I wish I would have brought my Girl Scout cookies to work. (Peanut Butter Patties rule!)

No Dogs Allowed

I had so much fun yesterday! Sean (Justin's mom), Katie (Justin's little sister), Justin, and I went to the Metroplex for Justin's after-surgery check-up eye appointment. Everything was fine, Justin has been healing pretty well, but things are still kind of glareish for him. All-in-all his doctor seemed VERY proud of himself for the outcome of the surgery. :) Before the appointment, however, all of us went to the Parks mall so that Sean and I could get a haircut at Toni&Guy's. Oh my goodness! I have never been to a haircut place like that before. Tam (my haircut guy) took my coat, asked me if I wanted a drink, gave me a massage, styled my hair, AND gave me tips! I have never been pampered like that before. Then, Justin and I went to the Sunglass Hut and picked out some sunshades (Justin's treat, awwww) for half price. Yep, my first and only pair of Ray Bands!

Now to the title of my post...on the way back from Dallas we stopped at a gas station in Jacksonville. All of us wanted a snack and had to use the restroom. Justin and I were the last to walk in and as soon as we did the man (most likely the owner, but said that he wasn't) told us that Larry could not go in. Justin said Larry was a guide dog and that it was ok. Nope, the man told us that someone had to wait outside with Larry because no dogs were allowed in the store. I then emphasized the fact that he was a guide dog that helped Justin get around because he is blind, and that it was illegal to not allow him to come in the store. The man, STILL said that Justin and Larry could not go in. Sean then got involved and informed him that he was breaking ADA (American's Disability Act)...the man didn't budge. To say the least, Justin got the name of the store, we didn't buy anything, and all of us had to use the restroom somewhere else.

Whatta Day

I wasn't going to post today, but I just couldn't help myself! Phew, today was a long day for absolutely no reason. I went over to Justin's house to watch TV, play Mario Party, and to just hang out for awhile. Later on we went to see Fun with Dick and Jane ....it was pretty good, not as funny as I thought it was going to be, but it was cute. I just loved being at the movies with Justin! It isn't often that we get to do stuff like that. :) Afterwards, Justin, Larry, and I went on a 3.2 mile walk in the neighborhood. (brrr!) And here I am now! I love days like today...just relaxing is fun, and Justin is a great guy to hang out with. (I LOVE YOU!) I better hit the hay because I actually have to go to work tomorrow, and you know how it is when you have to go back to work after a holiday weekend. HORRIBLE!
