Week/end Recap

My mom and I were having too much difficulty helping Coal with his recovery.  He cant fit in regular doggy diapers so we had to buy adult diapers and try to make our own... it was still a disaster.  Then my father decided to put him at a doggy paradise hotel and spa for a few days to help him recover there.  Coal will be coming back home again tomorrow, but I might be able to visit him today.

I don't remember a single thing I did on Friday, but Saturday I didn't have an in-person class because we have online assignments and etc to get done.  One of our assignments is to do a video presentation about our position paper topic.  Mine was Parent Feedback, so I made a nut-job out of myself on YouTube making a "Do & Dont" of Parent Communication for Teachers... I don't even know if I did the assignment correctly, but Max from next door helped me film it and put it together. We had a lot of funn messing around.
Here's the link to the video: Parent FeedBack/Communication 

Yesterday was my mother's birthday.  We went to the Horseshoe Casino to eat at the buffet but then decided just to go to a snack shop instead.

Featured Friend Friday

My FFF is Becky.  I've known her for like over a year through Michelle, but have only met her twice.  Tuesday the three of us went ice skating at millennium park.  I fell three times, but they weren't all my fault... I just don't know how to stop on ice skates.

Ice Skaters

After Ice Skating we stopped at Dick's and the veiw was okay,
but everything else about this place  was  unimpressing.

On the way to the train home we stopped by the newscasters
who were busy on their Mac and Iphones instead of  reporting the news.

Also on the way to the train home I had to take a picture
with Mother Mary and Baby Jesus at the Nativity Scene.

Puppy Update

Coal came back home from the animal hospital today <3  He's going to need to use a wheelchair until he recovers.

Puppy Update

Last night my whole family visited Coal.  The vets said he was able to pee a little bit on his own without the catheter, which is huge news!!   Then later today my father recieved a call from the vet saying that he peed a ton on his won today, meaning that he will be able to come home tomorrow!!!   EEEEeeEEEePPpppPpp I am soo excited to have him home for Christmas :)
Although bringing him home is still the beginning of the recovery process I am actually looking forward to all the hard work it entails.  Today my mother and I spent our day cleaning and reorganizing a space just for him .

Coal  looks like a teeny pup here

He's soo happy about the progress he's making

We decorated his kennel for the Holidays

I don't know his name, but he is in the kennel next to Coal.
He got hit by a car or something and can't move his back left leg :(

All I want for Christmas is Coal

This past Thursday I was able to visit Coal at Purdue with my dad.  He is doing about the same as the last time we saw him, but progress takes a while.  I brought a wreath to decorate his kennel suite, and to take a Christmas photo.  This morning I woke up at 630am and completed some grad school assignments, so hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday I will get to visit him again.

Puppy Progress

This morning my mother and I woke up early to drive down to Purdue University's Animal Hospital to visit Coal.  He is making good progress!!  He is able to sit up on his own ((even though he looks like hes sitting like a human)), and he can swivel on his own when he's sitting up!!  I am so thankful and soo blessed to have people praying and thinking of him <3
