Not sure why but I love that saying. Today my company hosted a lunch and learn by SportsMed. The topic was, "Back Pain in The Workplace". I thought it was worth attending being that I have scoliosis really bad. Any new information on how to relieve back pain is always a plus. At the lunch and learn they had some door prizes you could register to win. I went to the lunch and learn with my husband(we work for the same company). When we registered for the door prizes I told him i was going to win the basket. I said I don't know what's in it, but I am going to win. After the lunch and learn was over they did the drawing for the door prizes. The 1st prize was an umbrella which I did not win. The 2nd was a gift card to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, told the hubby I wouldn't mind winning that prize, but they did not call my name. Last was the gift basket. The lady shuffled the pieces of paper in the bowl and took out a slip and then called MY NAME!! My husband said you are kidding me! I was super excited and told him I knew I was going to win. As soon as I got back to my desk I got could not wait to find out what was all in the basket. Being that I never win anything I thought I would show you guys what was in the basket.
This is what the basket looked like before I opened it. |
This blanket is so soft! I let Roxy lay on it when I picket her up from the vet. She approved! |
The remaining stuff:
The silver thing on the left is a one of those things you put in the car to block the sun.
The thing on the right is what I believe is a picnic mat! Its really cute
And the basket! Its actually a good size cute basket!!
I was very excited to win this prize(maybe even a little to excited) and it made my day!
Please Pray for My Furbaby!
When I started writing this post I had not picked up my dog Roxy from the vet. Yesterday she went outside to play. When she came in she was limping and wouldn't put her right hind leg down. For some reason something told me that this was pretty serious. She just wasn't acting her normal self. I had David carry her upstairs and put her on the bed. She slept with us last night, like she does every night so we could keep an eye on her. This morning when my alarm went off and she wasn't in my face licking me, I knew she was in pain. She wouldn't even get off the bed to follow me around while I got ready. This broke my heart, because I don't like to see my furbabies in pain. David loaded her in the truck and we dropped her off at the vet on our way to work. I picked her up about 30 minutes ago. The vet confirmed she tore her ACL and surgery is highly recommended. We have an appointment to see an orthopedic surgeon on Thursday. Please say some prayers for my furbaby!!
Okay- now that I am re-reading your furbaby story on here I have tears in my eyes! Seriously Breaks.My.Heart!! Her and I are twinsies now with ACL injuries!! Give her lots of love from me! I hope recovery time isn't to long!! How old is Roxy?
ReplyDeletePS Pretty sweet score you got in that gift basket!! Love the notebook obvi lol!That arm band will be awesome when you get your knew iphone!!Which I cant wait for that btw :)

Thanks love!! Recovery time is 6-8 weeks and she will have to be on a leash every time she goes out. No running and jumping. Which will be hard because her brother is 90- nothing all. the. time. So it will be a little bit of a challenge but we will get through it. She will be 4 in April. It broke my heart when I had to leave her there today. She looked so sad in her little crate in the back. She definitely could have been on one of those sad pet commercials. :(
