Hopalong

Piper started limping last night, and I took her in to see the vet this morning, and damn if she hasn’t torn her ACL (ok, I think it’s the CCL in dogs, but I’m stuck in human mode.)  She’s on anti-inflammatories (doggy Vioxx) and feeling better, but we have to get the dang thing fixed, [...]

Merry Christmas!

From Santa’s two newest little helpers, and their little dog, too.

Take A Memo

Confidential to Piper:  Just because the bucket of clothespins has fallen off of the dryer, that doesn’t mean you should devour them while I’m feeding the hairless puppies.  Thank you for at least leaving the metal bits, as I really didn’t want to go to the vet tonight.
Confidential to Chloe:  I’m glad that you poo.  [...]

Misc Bits

1) I heard Piper out in the yard this morning squealing at something.  I assumed it was a cat/squirrel/other fauna sitting in a tree or on the fence and tantalizing her.  So I waddled (in all my manatee-sized glory) to the door to bring her in, wearing only a t-shirt and underwear.  At which I [...]

Random Sunday

1) 26 wk visit with Col. Sanders this week.  FFN remains positive, everything else is fine, measuring 34 wks.  And oh, btw, I now have “protein S deficiency” to add to my comprehensive list of diagnoses.  It’s a genetic clotting disorder, so I’m set to go on Lovenox injections daily once my insurance approves it [...]

Photos on Friday

Someone was saying sometime or other that they hadn’t seen a picture of my face.  Well, here you go.  I had a few minutes yesterday afternoon when it was 1) not raining and 2) not hot and 3) I looked half-decent so I thought I’d try to take some nice pictures.  I’m not sure that [...]

Mother’s Little Helper

The entire upstairs is squeaky clean, no thanks to a certain Scottie who shall not be named, who lay on my bed the entire time chewing on her octopus.  The dog’s life is so very hard.

Random Observations

1) Piper likes cabbage.  I dropped a few small pieces while cutting it up to make corned beef and cabbage tonight, and she snarfed them.  The Hoover continues to keep her well-earned reputation.
2) Current pregnancy and/or progesterone symptoms:  Veiniest boobs in North America (my vampiresque skin doesn’t help) and gastrointestinal TMI.  Both starting at 9 dpo, [...]
