Because Bossy is the Boss like that

Russia invaded Georgia .. say what?
No, Fool .. not Georgia USA .. and certainly not Georgia Getz
No Madness cant break that shit down for you
But Bossy can ... because shes the Boss like that.

Standing Vigil .. ok .. not that serious ... yet.

Madness doesnt even know where to begin..

To start though.. apologies in advance if this is the worst, most blumbering blog post ever .. but youre just gonna hafta understand...

Rotham is sick... and Im not talkin about 'got into the trash upset tummy sick' .. we're talkin Death Sentence Sick .. and NO Im not overreacting , Internet!

Allow Madness to digress so's that you understand what we're talkin'bout here.

'member last Saturday .. blah blah Family visit with Friends .. blah blah .. Rotham and Brit visit with sister Cookie .. blah blah ..... No? click here and catch up, k?

Youre back? Are you caught up? Good.

.. so yeah .. Madness has been holdin out on ya, Internet... only because she just couldnt choke up the balls to actually say it .. but now she has to.

Cookie, Rotham and Brits sister, died Monday morning.

Parvo. Oh Dear God I Said It.

We didnt know Cookie was sick when we went to visit. We didnt know. By the time we were told that Cookie "wasnt acting like herself lately" it was too late. By then all we could do was watch and wait. It was too late.

Our vet said that if they were going to get sick .. it would happen within 5-10 days. Today is day four.

If you recall .. Madness was suppose to be in training all day *shudder*. Blah Blah ...

1:00 pm - Madness phone rings. "I finally got you!" ... "Ive been in meetings..whats up" ... "Mom, when I opened the kennel to take the puppies out, Rotham wouldnt come .. he wouldnt RUN mom!" ... "Call Dad ... NOW".

1:30 pm - MaxX confirms ... Rotham is not well.

2:19 pm - Message from MaxX .. "Call me!"

3:00 - 2 hours and 17 calls to every vet in the tri-county area (seriously) ... Madness is on the rush home .. we have an appointment ...cities and counties away... with the only vet open and compassionate enough to see us.

4:10 - MaxX, Madness, Brit and Rotham arrive in PoeDunkVille .. we were given instructions to pull around back and the vet would meet us outside ... yeah ... it is that serious.

(Madness is digressing again.. deal with it) ...

Reader, are you a Mom? or a Dad? Have you ever held your sick child in your arms and felt hopeless and desperate when overhearing a doctor or nurse say something that made you look at your child and into your soul and fear for their life? I have.

Today it happened again.

The vet tech lady that met us behind the animal hospital took a fecal sample from my Rotham and the only words she said after seeing the swab were "thats not good" ... and Madness almost collapsed.

You see, Internet, Madness didnt realize that these two pups found themselves a place in the deepest depths of her heart .. until today. Phooey me all you want ... those pups are my babies every bit as much as her, him, him, her and her.

6:30 pm - MaxX, Madness, Brit and Rotham arrive home. Rotham got him some IV fluids, a nice IM injection of antibiotics and an anti-inflamatory and we're home ... to watch .. and wait.

***update***
Rotham is doing well. He's hydrated and rested and seems to be pulling through. We are still very much in 'watch and wait' mode ... but we are hopeful.
We are watching Brit closely too .. and thus far, she shows zero signs of ailment. MaxX and Me discussed the fact that Brit is just plain too damn full of FIRE to get sick. Ornery little Bitch. Just like her Momma.

The Money Shot

Today MaxX and Madness and all 7 babies visited with Friends. Friends are the owners of Brit and Rothams sister, Cookie. Friends and Cookie have a houseguest, Chico, a 3 year old chiuaua who believes he's an eighty pound rotweiller named Brutus. Thats Chico running to catch up with MaxX, Rotham and Brit.

Chico is very friendly and made sure that he personally introduced himself to Brit and Rotham.

Brit, Rotham and Chico had an easy like Sunday Morning kind of day..running the yard, digging holes, playing with kids ...

and then ... things got a little too friendly..

wait for it ...

The Money Shot

Madness Hearts Lurking Readers

Another of Madness' fav things to do is to visit her statcounter and try to figure out who each of her readers is.

Madness has a spot on some of you ...
Others are keeping her guessing.
Oh What Fun!

Dont worry readers ... Madness will post again soon and give you more of the PUREMadness that you just.cant.resist.

Madness

MadStoryTime

Coming soon..

MadStoryTime ~ Whose My Baby Daddy?

Stay Tuned .. you WONT want to miss this.

.. thats why my .... wants to ...

Madness needs to make certain this point is very clear

there is one reason why its been considered .. ONE REASON ONLY.

*and*

there is one reason why it hasnt happened .. ONE REASON ONLY.

Think.

Madness Breakin It Down

Since youre all on ma'shit today .. chew on this.

It was brought to Madness attention this evening that the following points require clarification:

Madness never said your TubeTops were what made you look like a Man, Lady.

Madness said you look like a Man AND your TubeTops are ridiculous.

MaxX said your TubeTop doesnt make you look like a Man.

MaxX never said he didnt think you look like a Man, in general.

If you knew a ding dang thang about MaxX then you'd see his irresistible wink and grin when he says such things .. but you dont so you wont .. see it, see.. ManBitch... (yes, you've evolved from ManLady to ManBitch .. ManBitch rolls off the tounge much more smoothly and it makes MaxX chuckle)

(Only moments after Madness mentioned MaxXs irresistible winky and grin .. moments I tell you .. MaxX tapped Madness on her shoulder and she saw the sticker that HE picked from the sticker sheet BabyD gave Momma and Daddy to chose from ...
the blue winky grinning face.)

**Madness' sticker says Ay-dub-ya-ee-ess-oh-em-ee. Awesome.**

Madness knows you'll appriciate this little work, MB... yeah.. I know you kinda likey me. Ha!

Ok.. so Madness has a full time job, and by full time job she means
45 hours a week there.
168 hours a week here, Momma, (times Five in.case.you.didnt.know.)
168 hours a week there, Wife.
168 hours a week working out the logistics of a very delicate move from here to there (want me to break that one down .. ask me .. I will.)
168 hours a week keeping this from ending up there.
168 hours a week dealing with him her her and them.

And what was Madness saying? Oh .. yeah... Madness has a full time job to get back to. Peace.

Hellooooo Stalkers

Yes..Madness knows youre here.. so she thought she'd say "Hi!"
Dont be shy ... say something .. dare ya.
Why oh Why is madness so ornery tooo-day?

Oh look! Its my blog

Good Morning stalkers readers ...
Madness has been MIA for a few days .. big things happening around the MadLands .. BIG things.
What things you ask? Oh.. a little of this and a little of that. Yep, some of that too.

To all my friends at SBO who are reading "Hi, Hello! I miss you!"

With any luck Madness will be back tonight and will give you something worth reading.

With.any.luck.

Ok, love you, bye.
Madness

Whose yer Daddy?

Madness is gonna leave that one alone and reflect on Daddy'oDay at the MadLands ... you can thank me later.

Daddy'oDay in the MadLands started in the wheeee hours of the morning ... MaxX and Me out on the deck watchin our two babiest of babies chase each other around the back yard... silly pups. Poor Rotham tries so hard to keep up with his big sister BritBrit... but baby brother Rotham is a much bigger boy and just doesnt have the speed and agility that Brit has. She runs his butt all over the place.

Madness *slept in* on Daddy'ODay .. MmmHmm.. she did... at Daddy'o's request. Im'a leave that alone for now too.

Madness awoke to a beautiful bright sunny warm day ... the grill was hot and the air filled with the flavor of BBQ. Laundry on the line blowing in the breeze .. kiddies putting finishing touches on glittery tokens of daughterly love for the DaddyMan.

Oh yeah, Madness almost forgot, this is early summer in the MidWest.. Ha! Storm rolled in ... lightening..thunder..cold heavy rain .. HAIL .. finish BBQing in the rain .. eh, that was kinda cool.

MadTheatre on Daddy'oDay... Stand By Me ... oh yeah.

Daddy schooled the kiddies on a cinematic classic.. and Madness was all "is this mothers day or somethin?"

The scent of Old Books and Ninja Monkies.

Photos of MaxX grilling in the rain ... coaxing puppies with bratwurst to walk down deck stairs and MaxX gettin MadLove from the wee ones coming soon .. KodakEasyShare is acting Janky at the moment. *snicker*

Cause thats how Madness does shit sometimes

Have you ever felt like you literally need to hide from the world?
Do you know that you surely will NOT continue to breathe if you dont run and hide?
If youve ever damn near lost it and actually felt like you were gonna break then you know what Im talkin about.

Thing is .. Madness feels that way all.the.time.

And when you literally feel like you are going to break at every joint and cease breathing all.the.time you get to points where you panic.
I said "get to points" because if you recall .. the panic is constant.
You cant quiet a beast for long.
Sometimes I can get a grip on it all and stand somewhat steady .. but the beast always comes back and threatens total breakdown.

When the panic sets in ... the fucker sits down in 'rational thoughts' seat.
And sometimes .. thats how Madness does shit.

Wordless Wednesday on Thursday

Because Madness started a new job, and the kids are out of school, and MaxX is working days now ... all just in time for Madness' ManicMeltdown ... The Blog is suffering ...Wordless Wednesday on Thursday... hang on with me Internet .. Im trying.
