Superbowl Sunday was especially great this year to watch our Arizona Cardinals playing. Even if they didn't win - it was still fun to have a home team to cheer fr and they made for a really exciting game.
On that Sunday, my dog Roxy kept throwing up. It continued throughout the day and night and into the next morning and I made an appointment with the vet on Monday morning. After some x-rays it was determined that there was SOMETHING in her stomach and colon but not sure what it was. Unfortunately it was pretty serious and blocking everything so she had to have emergency surgery done. They ended up pulling 6 rubber stamps out of her little body! Not sure how she managed to swallow them whole. And yes the vet cleaned them up for me and put them in a bag and I took a picture before throwing them away! It was a rough few days trying to get Roxy to eat her medicine and eat and drink regular food again and not move to much. But she seems to be on the mend, I just have to watch her and her jumping. And make sure she doesn't eat anything crazy like that again!!
On Thursday we went with our friends Brooklyn and E* to a fun little indoor play center. They had 8 different playhouses that all had a different theme - princess dress up, police, fire, house, school, grocery, etc. A indoor small track to ride Little Tikes cars around, a small bouncy house, train set, etc. It was a cute and fun little place. Plus nice for us moms to be able to visit while the kids ran around and we could see them from where we were sitting!
Ellie is on another cold for the year. Unfortunately for me it doesn't seem to slow her down one bit - even though we're stuck near home since I don't want her getting anyone else sick!
And then on Friday when I was at the grocery store, I had unnerving experience seeing a lady pass away from a heart attack. She collapsed in line at the grocery store and fire fighters tried to resuscitate her for a good 15-20 minutes before they loaded her up in the ambulance with no hurry to go anywhere. It was very unsettling seeing someone in that condition with a completely gray face. Moments like that really make you think and made me stop a say a quick prayer for her and her family and hug mine a little closer.
It was a strange week!

I'll say that was a strange week!! Wowza! You have the best play places where you live. Hopefully, one of these days we'll be passing by since I'll be off to visit my fam in San Diego more often. It would be so great to see you! ps-I can't believe the rubber stamps-weird, but at least Roxy is ok.
My computer is strange, for some reason, everytime I comment on a post, it puts it 2x. So strange.
She swallowed stamps? Holy moly!
I am so glad that Roxy is okay. Holy Cow! How did she manage to eat 6 stamps? When you said rubber stamps - I was thinking the Stampin' Up stamps, so good thing it was those.
We missed you guys yesterday. Wish you would have been here. But understand if you needed to stay home to take care of that silly dog. She is one of your first babies and I'd be doing the same thing.
We do need to get together soon. We got this new game Partini - SUPER fun!! It's a lot of fun with a big group of people too. So let me know what your schedule looks like.
I would love to know where this play place is. It looks like a lot of fun. I miss talking to you. Hope your doing well.
I'd like to know where the play place is too - looks like you opened a can of worms! :) Glad your dog is on the mend.
looks so fun! So where/what is this indoor play place?
