    According to my last posts on SC, I haven't been on here since September of 2013. So much has changed since then! But mostly, i'm wanting to coupon again - I need a hobby!

    I'll update you in order..

    September - New boyfriend. Exciting. I went to elementary school with him, and he's liked me for five years, but I kept telling him no, until one day I decided to meet up with him again.

    December - We took Sparky to the vets for his needles. Brought up a concern about him not eating and they ran some tests. The tests came back that he was extremely diabetic and needed 2 injections a day of insulin. So home we went with his insulin, syringes and a machine we bought to check his blood (they weren't sure of the dosage he specifically needed of insulin so we had to play around a bit, but keep an eye on his blood sugar levels in case we needed to treat him in an emergency - which we ended up needing to do). About a week after getting his injections, he seemed to be completely blind. He would walk in to the furniture and eventually gave up on moving, because he would hit things. Around this time I had to carry him every where. His puppy potty pad, and then back on my chest. If I would put him down he would stand in one spot and wait. We decided that we did all we could for him, and he was simply shutting down (physically) and needed to make a decision. Although hard, it was harder to see him suffer. On December 30th he crossed the rainbow bridge.

    During all this, I was diagnosed with pneumonia (after a doctor telling me it wasn't pneumonia, just a simple cold, and she didn't know what nyquil was - and then going to urgent care after having a fever of 103 for 4 days). I lost a total of 35 pounds during all this, because I simply couldn't eat.

    January - was pretty uneventful.

    February - While waiting for my mom at her doctors appointment, I was scrolling through PetFinder and saw this dog that caught my eye. I didn't want another dog, and neither did my Mom. It was too soon. On our way home I showed her the picture of this dog, and neither of us could stop thinking about her. So, a week into February, myself, my mom and my boyfriend made a 2 hour trek from Ottawa to just outside Montreal to get her. She's the complete opposite of Sparky. She'll be 1 year old on August 1st, and weighs almost 70lbs. She's an Italian Mastiff and a Boxer mix, and before she was in the rescue, she was a stray. She loves people, other dogs, kids, although she's scared of squirrels.. . She's never shown any aggression or anger and is happy about life. Although a bit clueless.. haha!

    So, life has changed a lot since I was last on SmartCanucks. But, I can't wait to get back into the groove of couponing and saving some serious moolah.

    Oh, and I turned 20 yesterday! So that marks 4 years since i've joined SC!

    Welcome back, Bella. I'm so sorry about Sparky; I'm sure he's happy that you brought a new fur-baby into your life to love and provide a forever home for her.
    What's her name?

    Much has changed around here, but it's still a lovely little corner of the world!

    oh Bella, Sparky is gone?! I am just so sad about that, he was really adorable in the pics you posted. You are right though, if he was suffering then you had to do what was best for him. Enjoy your newly adopted pup!! She sounds like the exact opposite ( as you say) from Sparky. All the best in starting up with coupons again, the wording on many have changed and is more restrictive so " free " is not as easy as it once was.
