Nine-eye: A delay was caused by non-dog related issues. Nine-eye will be getting his shots next Saturday instead of the Saturday just past. Grooming planned for the Monday after the shots.
Kids: Bacon had the croup Thursday night through the start of the weekend. Thanks to our kick-ass neighbor we didn't have to buy a nebulizer or Albuterol. Burger got it Saturday and is still kicking it. Sleep was at a premium at our house over the weekend.
Pets: I've come to a conclusion regarding the relative evil of kittens and puppies. Specifically, why do kittens do so much more damage than puppies? I believe that both species have the same amount of total evil but because kittens are smaller their evil is much more concentrated. Incidentally when Stitch purrs it sounds like a warthog with asthma. She starts purring at midnight. Every night. Concentrated evil, I'm telling you.
International: Breaking news from the mid-east. Yassir Arafat is still dead! And there was much rejoicing. Yay!
Work: The new job is awesome. Totally and completely awesome. And busy. I'm currently working on four projects, heading two of them.
Man the Croup blows. I had it 3 times when I was a kid.
It was Bacon's third trip too. This time it went away much quicker and was much less intense. Hopefully it won't be back.
Burger got it bad though. It's got to be terrifying for a 2 year-old not to be able to breath right. Poor little guy.
So much sunshine in this entry... hurting my eyes... must return to gloomy cave...
It's cause kittens come with a second set of weapons and can jump higher than puppies.
Sorry about the croup; hope Bacon's feeling better soon. Refuah shelemah to him.
Oh, I feel for you. My eldest had the croup every single time he got a cold. He finally 'outgrew' it when his airways got bigger... around age 5. I don't know how many times I had to use the freezer trick. Blech.
I remember a few occasions as a small kid having my mother turn the bathroom into a steam bath, with all hot water taps running, while I struggled to breathe. I don't know which is scarier, experiencing croup as a child, or watching your own kids go through it. Hope they get better.
