Well today I had to go and get some blood work done that my doc had requested you know the one where you have to fast before getting it done.Then I had to pick up the orders for my MRI and the doc said to just take it over and get it done but the hospital has other way`s of making you jump through hoop`s in order to get thing`s done .I ended up having to call them and the person that took my call said that I needed to call my doc back and see if she had gotten the MRI`s pre approved ,but she went ahead and set up a day and time for them to be done.I guess that means that if the insurance dosen`t approve of them thenI will have to pay for them.They are so expensive,I guess I can only pay so much at a time and if they want more they can`t have it..Either that or I can wait until Medicare kicks in to get it done.Baxter is being a good dog right now because he is asleep and chasing rabbits in his dreams.I forgot how much a puppy can and does get into.It seams like I am all the time getting on to him for something that he is not supposed to be doing.Iwill be glad when he has grown out of this stage where he is always chewing something up or biting.I can sort of stand the licking because that is his way of telling us he loves us.We got on a web site yesterday that tell you about the kind of things to expect from a dog like him.They said that he is a very energetic breed and likes to have something to do all the time and if they are left alone that they become sycotic,which I can believe the needing to be with you and having something to do,but come on "all the time".When am I supposed to get anything done,it does seam like he is alway`s wanting to play or run around the house and some of the time if I am to tired ,he chases his tail around and around.At least he has his tail to keep him intertained.My arm is sore from throwing the ball too much and then when we go for a walk he want`s to drag me around,but I have trained dog`s before and know that you have to assert yourself as the domment person so that he will learn to heel and walk instead of drag you around.He is learning with me because Brendy just dosen`t have the time or energy after she gets off work.He is always around me when I am at home and most of the time I take him with me when I go to town if I don`t have to go in somewhere[I will not leave him in the car alone].I think I had better go and take him for a walk or outside to catch the ball or frisbee so that he can get some exercise for today.I will let youknow how it goes with myMRI`s and when I will need to go to Lubbock to see the Neuro-doc,and how Baxter is doing,so for now I guess I had better go and chase Baxter until I get so tired that he will have to carry me back home..lol...Take care and let me know how everyone of you are doing.Talk later.M.
