Not Sure What to Think....

There is a sign attached to the light pole at the end of our road, where it turns onto the 'main' road.

LOST
Female Shitzu
Red Collar
REWARD
Dead or Alive
470-000-0000

Not quite sure what to think of this one. Personally, when it comes to Shitzus, I don't care for them dead OR alive, but if it was my beloved pooch, I would prefer "Alive". I realize that this person, ultimately, just wants to know for sure what happened to their dog, but the wording struck me as quite odd. Mayhaps it's just me..... I hope the little pooch is found....'alive'.

My back continues to feel terrific (well, as terrific as it can), but the damage I inflicted on my hip by waiting too long to get my injection is still causing persistent discomfort, accompanied by frequent and searing jolts of pain. These jolts are accompanied by involuntary yelps of pain which Hubs is finding most distracting/disconcerting/annoying. I suppose I need to get an appointment with my "Hip Doctor", who is in the same office as my "Spine Doctor", but not to be confused with my Neurosurgeon. I have been going with the logic that I caused a severe bout of Bursitis to flare up, but it does feel different this time than last. And although I am 'resting it' sorta kinda (by not working, at least) it will only ease up a bit after a handful of Tylenol and then returns with a vengeance! The strangest motions set it off. For example....I just now, quite simply, reached for my Pepsi can to take a sip, whilst sitting in my chair typing this. Only moved my arm about 10 inches.....and YELP! It's just what I need. There's no end to it.

And speaking of my 3 doctors, I am having a rather difficult time with the one that I think should be signing my Leave of Absence papers for W*M. Been waiting all day for a call back from the disagreeable wench that does his LOA and Disability paper work. She is one of those people that is "too busy" to shut up and listen, so we had quite an annoying conversation. Since it is now past their closing time, I will pursue her again in the AM, because I NEED SOME ANSWERS HERE!

  1. Yeah that is a strange wording, though I suppose the owner wants the potential rescuer to know that they will get a reward no matter what condition the dog is in. Strange...

  2. That is a little on the disturbing side. However like you, I'm trying to see on the "brighter" side that they must just want to know what happened to their puppy. I bet that family has kids that really miss their doggy.

    I'm glad that your back is feeling better. Maybe if everything falls into place and you can get on disability you'll no longer have to live with mild discomfort anymore.

    PS. Freaked me out to see you've switched back to blogspot.
