Johnny&Tessy
How's Gracie? Was the vet visit today wasn't it? Continued thoughts for her (and you Paige).

Thanks for asking, Johnny. Edit - and Karen. I was posting and walked away, came back, and there was a new MC thread!! :)

Vet aspirated 3 lumps that we agreed were most unlike fatty tumors. She looked at the cells under the microscope to confirm her observation of their appearance in plain sight. All fatty cells. She also says Gracie is too skinny. (Apparently the 1.6 lbs from 68.4 to 70 makes a difference to my vet. She knows that Gracie has always been very fit and on the slim side, she's never been above 73lbs - and that was when she was diagnosed w/hypothyroidism.) She confirmed that G is turning her wrists (both, in fact, not just the right one) and likely trying to relieve neck pressure (from her experience w/all our Dobes), but she didn't think it warrants x-rays or anything.

I'm just paranoid and neurotic about my dog, is the bottom line. I was just totally drained after that, except I'd left my cell phone at the training shop and my credit card in my jacket at home, so I spent another 2 hrs driving back and forth to get the card, pay the bill, drive to get the dogs fed, etc, etc.

I am sort of braindead swimming in a sea of watery thoughts. I suppose I should have some coffee, but my stomach disagrees w/that suggestion.

Hope Willa and Riley are feeling better today.

still crazy warm but due to drop into the 20's tonight - serious wind blowing!

Went for a walk/run without the Grand Marshall and got stopped 4 times by people wanting to know if he was ok Confused Yes you know even I can walk unencumbered sometimes LOL

another busy day, happily I did clear off some of my desk last night (by throwing a ton of stuff out!) I have not done any more cards or decorating though so I guess I need to do some tonight

I am on my 3rd cup of coffee already - hmm perhaps my caffeine habit is creeping up again Stick out tongue

Have a good one all!

PS Paige I hope the vet visit with Gracie went OK

Today is supposed to be my telework day but I have to sit in on a conference call and don't want to eat up the mins on my cell phone so I am going in the office. Hmmm unless I can figure out another way...will need to think about this, i would rather stay home in my pjs :p

I do have to go to a mtg at 1 though which I expect is going to be a me against the world mtg. I'm up for it, roar!

Better see what i can do about teleworking.

Weird weather here too. 60 degrees now and drizzly, maybe 1 - 3" inches of snow by tomorrow morning !!

Nothing else new to report.

I work with some less than competent people.

My DS can be an obnoxious ass.

Deb, I need a drink - nothing too sweet. Set me up, please.

Last night was MUCH better! They both coughed a lot and I had to go in there three times. The first time it was just Willa. She started coughing then crying for me. I waited a short bit to see if she'd go back to sleep on her own, but she didn't. I went in there and she was sitting up on her bed. I touched her cheek and said it's ok, you were just coughing. She laid down and I asked her if she wanted a song, and she didn't answer. She was out cold. lol!

She felt much better this morning so now they're both at school. DH and his buddies are practicing here today so I get to listen to live music while I work.

Go get em, Julie!

Paige, sounds like you need a nap or a drink.

Tina, I'll have whatever Deb suggests.

Jan, glad the kiddos are feeling better other than the coughing. Good luck working while the band plays.

Very cold here this morning. I just got a call from a friend's dad that their heat hasn't worked since Monday and can I send someone first thing this morning. Uh, no sorry I can't. We're swamped with calls and he'll have to wait his turn. I asked him why he didn't call when he first knew it wasn't working. His answer is one I hear a lot. "We thought it would start working". LOL, most mechanical things rarely fix themselves but most people are ever hopeful that they will.

I think it may be a closed office door day here too.

It is entirely too cold here. We aren't built for temps in the high 20's. When I opened the door to take everyone out for their morning potty break, I got "cook yous" from six of the seven dogs. Cher is insane, & was happy to shoot out the door to run zoomies & bark for everyone else.

Paige, I'm sorry to hear about Gracie's potential neck issues. They suck. There's just no other way of saying it.

We're riding a wave of injuries here. Chyna has an ulcer on her cornea that we're treating. Cher is somewhat gimpy this morning after a hard crash into a jump last night. Shooter is still red & welty after an antibiotic reaction late last week. And Bonsai is recovering from an absessed foot, probably caused by she & Angel wrestling too hard. I'm so ready to have a 'normal' healthy pack again!

Bevo has an acupuncture appointment this morning, & I need to do some shopping. I wonder if I can sneak him in a couple stores...
