Just confirming

Cilla — Tue, 17 Jul 2012 12:17:33 +0000

Just hope that you update the new blog address www.cillawichmann.net. the reason for the move is that there is so much problems with this address when updating and I get so much spam. I also want to protect the Daimilus name from the public now when I am getting more and more public. So I have changed my private email as well. I will use my old one for a while so if you want the new, send me an email…

So I hope you follow me to the new blog or meet me on Facebook www.facebook.com/ACOCillaWichmann

I didn’t think anyone cared to read my blog anymore! Sorry for not updating! It hasn’t happened that much. I have a pretty boring life to blog about… I wake up, go to work, take care of dogs, go home, train my dogs, go to bed. How interesting could that be to write about? But, apparently I was wrong!

Well some fun stuff has happened. Last Thursday a man ran out of gas outside the shelter. I gave him a ride 200 feet to the gas station. The man asked if I wanted anything, water etc. I was just fine, I don’t want anything for helping out. When we got back to the shelter he asked if I liked Chilli’s, who doesn’t? He said he would come back Friday with a gift card. Yeah, right…Friday came and left, nothing. I was just laughing. But on Tuesday, when I got to work an envelope was on my desk with a “Thank you” on… Yes… A gift card to Chilli’s! A great start of the week! This gift card can also be used at Macaronis grill, a place mom and I wanted to try for a while so we will go there on Sunday!

Had to “save” two dogs from a hot car today. One of the dogs bit me! Not bad, but of course, he didn’t know me, he was exhausted and I got on his territorium. The owner was almost in chock when she came back. The dogs was doing ok, had to cool them down a little and they were returned to their owner. They were not from Texas and didn’t realize how hot it gets. We always learn something…

Well, will be better on updating since at least two people are reading!

Wow!

Last week at this time I was sitting in the sofa crying over how cruel people can be. My email was blown up with notes of what a mean and bad person I am. Today was the total opposite! This was published in The Terrell Tribune today

The picture is actually from February. A great article by Michael Gresham! Well, the same picture of the article was posted on TAAC’s FB page. From there Pawsetively Texas shared it and my life was turned around! Messages, comments, emails, shares, phonecalles etc about what a great job I do. I got so many friend requests (54) from people I don’t know so to be able to remain some kind of privacy I had to make an official page for me! (http://www.facebook.com/ACOCillaWichmann). I was not prepared of that attention, and already now almost 50 people has “liked” the page! What a roller coaster life I have!

But it was quick back to reality when I had to take care of the little lab puppy I brought home for special care over my time off. She is on fluids and hand feeding every second hour. Doing better but still has a long way to go. Will have her with me for a while until she can be alone a whole night!

Shannon is in heat… Tango has figured out what it is all about… September 1st… We are very excited! And yes, I will keep one!

Better

Was sad and alone yesterday. Everything was just hard. But in the same time the support from friends all over the world came in. In the end the tears running down my chins wasn’t only because of everything hard going on but also from how humble I was from all nice words! Anna suggested to save all words, messages and emails to read on my next downturn! And she is right, I should! I am not a bad person or dog owner. I am quite good…
A friend showed up this morning unannounced just to give me a hug. I really appreciated that, and I needed the hug! That kind of actions is just lovely! The fact that I just got out of bed doesn’t matter! Lol!
I also got to read the article about me that will be published on Sunday! Talk about ego boost! Reading that was humbling! I hope it can give the center a good boost too!

It has only been a relaxing day. It has been 103F (39.44C) so indoors is the place to be! Did some laundry and chatting with friends in Sweden. Just nice to be off. Not a call from work, not a meeting, nothing! A great day for recover!

Preliminary Autopsy report

Cilla — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 20:02:42 +0000

Just got an email with the preliminary Autopsy report of Ebbi. He had a small hole in his heart that we were not aware of. That was probably why he was so sensitive to everything like heat. Thinking back, he was always the dog who sat down and layed down before everyone else. The autopsy vet said that where the hole was, he was not going to be an old dog at all. So it feels a little bit better that his primary cause of death was not heat but a birth defect. I will now have Emmi, Co-Co and Daim go thru an extended heart examination again as soon as possible.

Du vet vem du är utan att jag behöver skriva ditt efternamn, och jag har officiellt bett dig låta mig vara tidigare. När ska du inse fakta!!??? Jag vill inte ha med dig att göra någonsin mera! Du har tidigare sårat mig, min familj med dina inlägg. Ingen annan i denna blogg mer än du vet vad fan jag pratar om just nu. Obduktionsrapporten på Ebbi kom idag, han dog av ett medfött hål i hjärtat! Detta hål bidrog till att han inte klarade värmen men vi hade ingen jävla aning om detta!!! Vill du läsa obduktionsrapporten också? Vill du ha veterinärutlåtande på alla mina hundar eller ska du kasta skit på din blogg över mig ännu mer? Jag är så fruktansvärt trött på dina inlägg (som bara jag ser eftersom jag har blockat dig). Jag bor på andra sidan jorden, skit i mig, bry dig om ditt liv istället för mitt okej?

Just not happy right now, really not in the mood of blogging.
The Euthanasia class was not fun, but it had to be done! Came home to find Ebeneezer dead and Em N Em overheated even thou they had shade, pool and food. Thanks to nice people at the vet, Em N Em came in care fast, we got him on fluids and cooled down. He had a seizure in the middle of everything but got thru it. Emmi came with me home for observation. Slowly recovered and he is now back as normal. He was sored yesterday but nothing today!
Ebeneezer had always been a weaker dog. He had hard time to keep weight but it was so unfair!
No dogs will be out during daytime the rest of the summer!

Went to Pet Expo yesterday. It was fun. Hoped to see more rescue groups and I hoped that they were a little bit more positive… Our shelter is so full and I don’t know where to turn, what to do or anything! So frustrating!!!

Heading to church and the rest of the day will just be cleaning and laundry…

Tomorrow

Cilla — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 01:22:43 +0000

Tomorrow will be one of the worst days of my life… I will have to take the class that I really don’t want to; euthanasia class… I will have to take the class even if I don’t use it and I have said already from the beginning that I refuse to euthanize anything else than sick or injured animals. That helps some in this situation but I really hate it anyway. The class is long, from 8am to 8pm, and it is in Arlington ~1,5-2 hours away from home…

Came home today to a house totally a mess! Hanna had moved clothes and things all over the place! I think she does it because she misses me… She is a very special girl! Sleeping next to me right now like a baby. Not a thought of going out to potty!

Well, have to take a shower before bed…
