What's New With The Krausz Hausz
Hello bloggers! I realize that I have been a very bad little blogess the last week and, for that, I do apoligize. Things in the Krausz Hausz have been rather busy for a mommy that is on summer break. It seems as though each year I have all these plans for my summer vacation and then life hits. Surprise! =-)
Mylee-Ann:
My little missy DID get to come home from the hospital last Wednesday. She was given instructions to lay low with very little physical activity for a week. These people had my dog for a week so should have known this would be rather impossible. I will say, however, that she did quite better than I had imagined. Yesterday she went back for her check-up and had gained a total of 10lbs since she first went to that Vet. Wow! Her little ribs are starting to disappear and she even went for a run around the neighborhood with me yesterday.
Aiden-Michael:
Big brother Aiden was quite the sad panda while sissy was away at the hospital. He would literally mope around all day and even went on a 3-day hunger strike. For those of you that know my 1st doggychild, you know that he rarely goes an hour without food! I was worried about him being so excited about sissy being home, that he might hurt her or pull out stitches by trying to play BUT he was her little protector the entire week. It was so stinking cute that I should have videoed it.
Daddy:
Jake is still in summer classes at EOCC and really loves getting up at the crack of dawn for school *sarcasm*. Verizon has announced that all the Reps in Enterprise will be let go at the end of the year. Not good. So I am working hard-core on his resume and looking for new positions in the local area. If any of you know of positions for Spanish translators, feel free to pass that info along.
Mommy:
Minus spending 100% of my time watching and caring for my baby girl, I have been pretty good. Last weekend I snuck away and got to attend my 10yr high school reunion. WHAT?! It was awesome getting to see all of my girl squad from childhood. They all look amazing. We did decide though that all the boys must had drank and ate far too much in the last 10yrs because most of them are rather large. teeheee.... Now the rest of my summer is going to be spent focusing on that enormous to-do list that I created at the start of summer and preparing for a new and fun year at EHS.

Visit with Mylee- Wednesday
I am so fortunate that I took Mylee-Ann to a Vet that would allow me to come and visit her everyday. I was nervously awaiting the visit all stinking day. I know I might have just been overly-excited, but she looks sooo great considering what all she went through yesterday. I took pics and a video so that you all could fall in love with my baby too. They said she still needs lots of prayers b/c her wounds have to heal before we are 'out of the woods'.
My precious Mylee-Ann Montana..
I really need as many prayers as possible to go up in the sky for my baby girl today. For the last week, Mylee-Ann has been having stomach issues and would vomit once a day. I was concerned about her lack of weight gain 2 weeks ago and took her to the Vet here in town. Instead of checking her, they simply gave me the Inquisition about what, when, and how I feed her. Otherwise stated they blamed me for her size. Since she has been her natural bubbly self, I really did not suspect anything major.
Two days ago I had the breeder, Jeremy, come and check her out. He said "she is kinda small but looks awesome overall". Just to be safe he said to take her over to Ozark to the Vet where his dogs go. I called and made an appointment having absolutely no earthly idea what would happen next.
We took her back to see Dr. Deloney and he palpated her tummy for about 10 seconds. Next were the words that I hadn't expected... "Okay we need to rush her to the surgery table if we even have a shot at saving her." What?! Twenty minutes earlier she had been running around the house with Aiden playing?!
I knew that Weimerainers were prone to tummy issues, but I was told it started when they were 6 months. Mylee-Ann is only 4 months this week. So they found out that her entire small intestine had looped over top of itsself a total of 3 times. They had to remove 12 inches of her bowels before closing her back up. The Vet said that she had this problem quite a while ago which frustrates me that the other Vet just questioned me instead of checking out my precious girl.
As of this morning, they said that she still had the I.V. in her arm and that she kept down a smidge of wet food. The Vet said "she looks good but do know that she could go downhill fast at any time". I never knew how much a dog would affect my life until she is not here and I picture her lying in a kennel chewing her I.V. out (which they said she's done 3 times).
PLEASE send up as many prayers as possible for my beloved little baby this week. I am miserable. Aiden and myself are lying on the couch missing our best friend.

My goals for the summer:
As you all know, I am incredibly OCD. Fact. Since I entered high school in 1997, I have NEVER had a summer off from schooling. I went to summer school each summer at EHS then straight into college where I also attended every semester possible. Now that I have finally achieved the Masters, I need a stinkin' break. But, wait, what shall I do?! Multitasking is a specialty of mine. To cure my quandry, I am making a goals list. I am going to post it and everything. (Those of you that know how flippant Jake is are probably laughing now)...
My Goals:
* Read 25 books including The Book of Mormon
* Get the new house organized so that I can have friends over
* Throw at least 3 "Girls Nights" to redeem my sanity (yours too)
* Finish my Wedding Scrapbook
* Make 2 Baby Scrapbooks
* Make my cousin's Wedding Scrapbook (can you tell I like my Cricut?)
* Learn how to use my sewing machine
* Plant a garden
* Use my Wii Fit to get me (and Jake) in shape
* Be proactive and get all my school stuff in order for the fall before it gets here
* Go to the Georgia Aquarium
* Attend a wedding (Zach Tanner)
Hmmmm I have probably missed something here. None the less I know my list might sound insane to most of you, but I need lists that are almost impossible to help me survive. Perhaps I should add "make a baby" in there to make the stakes even higher. It should be interesting to see how many of these I actually get done with.
