4/20/10 – Day 28, the signs say…

Well, today is day 28 and I can see slight changes in Roxie.  Her teats (am I spelling that right?) are definitely getting bigger but aren’t really swelling like I have seen them do before in her first heat cycle.  No baby bump yet either. 

HOWEVER, this last weekend she lost her appetite.  Roxie loves to eat.  She wolfs down her food in less than a minute.  But this weekend, she just didn’t seem interested.  She would take a mouth full and bring it into the living room to eat.  It took her all night to eat her dinner.  The next day, her breakfast was still there at dinner time.  I asked Liz about this and she wasn’t concerned and said it was… get this… MORNING SICKNESS!!  OMG, dogs get morning sickness?!  I guess anything is possible.  The body has to make adjustments somehow.   As of now (6:41 pm) most of her breakfast is still in her bowl.  Liz says it will pass and then she will be extra hungry!   The funny thing is, she gets just as antsy and excited around feeding time and goes through all the motions of sitting and waiting to be released to eat, then she takes a couple bites and is done.  That’s pretty much all for the Roxie update.  It was raining today to the Day 28 photo was taken in my kitchen.   BTW, have I mentioned how proud I am that I can stack her and leave her standing there so I can go take a picture?  She’s such a good  girl. 

In other news, I launched my Premier Designs Jewelry business this weekend with my training party.  It was a great success and  thanks to those who came, I am off to a great start!  My first goal is to hold 9 parties between now and June 2nd.  If I can do that, then I will receive $900 in free jewelry!  I’m sure you are thinking to yourself. “what on earth is she going to do with all that jewelry?”  Well, the main thing is to add it to my display table so that people can see, touch and try it on.  It’s a known fact that if they can see it in person, they will more likely to want to purchase it than just in a catalog.  Plus, I get the added benefit of being able to wear it!  Which is also advertisement.  In fact, Christine, my Premier “Mom” told me of a story of selling several pieces off her own body on an airplane to the flight attendants!  So… will you be one of my nine parties to host a party?  You’ll get some free jewelry out of it   Be sure to check out my new Availablity Calendar to see what days I’m available to book your party.  Either click on the link above or go to the top of the page and go to Services/Premier Designs/Availibility Calendar. 

It’s a good thing that I decided to do this because I have recently learned that my job may be cut soon.  I will probably be going to part time and eventually could be completely out of a job.  I won’t be able to completly replace my salary with Premier, but can possibly make up the difference if I’m cut to part time.  I also continue to work on the side building Facebook Fanpages, and WordPress websites.  It’s not much income, but every little bit helps. 

In house news… the next two weekends are work weekends and with the help of friends and family we will make the last push to finish the remaining exterior construction on the house and complete final inspection.  So, if you are handy and have a few spare hours  this weekend or next, I sure could use some help.  Even if you’re not handy, we can still use you if you’re willing and able. 

Well, that’s all for now!  Thanks for reading.  Have a great week!
