Raining here, too. Buddy was hiding when I left for work.

Tomorrow is my first appointment for the dental implant I'm getting at a reduced cost. This is to replace the tooth I fractured 2 years ago. I'm a little nervous, but the dentist assured me it's easier than the extraction. Simple to say when you aren't the person in the chair.

Tina (9:53a, EDT)

Julie - I'm so sorry about the testing last night. (((Hugs))) for you and Abbie. Here's the link for the SAR's blog wehavenotforgotten.org

Shane slept really well last night, so that meant that I did also. I'm not sure if the tramadol knocked him out or just made him more comfortable but I was happy to see him rest. Having had canker sores now and then, I have great empathy for how crummy he must feel. The vet said the antibiotics should start helping in about 3 days.

Our weather is amazing right now. We warm up to about 80 in the afternoon but the mornings and evening are super cool. I think we're supposed to get some rain this weekend.

Jackie - I hope your plans work out for the weekend.

Tina -  I hope the appointment tomorrow goes well.

Julie sorry to hear you guys didn't pass.  Adding some "don't feel defeated" vibes to Jackie's.

there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to why sometimes i stay logged in and sometimes I don't. On my computer or my phone. Also, sometimes I get the sticky note page and sometimes I get the linear format. I seem to follow the same steps each time I come here so I'm baffled.

Thanks for the support of our failure. I'm feeling much better today and have a plan of attack for how to proceed so we pass next time.

Glad shane slept well last night and you did too :) thanks for the link. I bookmarked it to go back and read later.

I have a furnace guy coming early this afternoon. Can't wait to get that out of the way.

I'm really sick of working. I just can't stay focused. I have been feeling so burnt out lately.

I have been feeling so burnt out lately.

Hugs to you too Julie smooches for Abbie.  Time to attack it from another angle.  I think you will be inspired by reading Mr. Lee's writings :)

Karen I missed you yesterday, hope you are enjoying the job.

Cathy I am so glad you and Shane slept better. 

It's getting pretty noisy outside, Bike Blues and BBQ officially opened yesterday at 3:00p.m.  The bikes are already rollin in.  Our office is right next door to a convenience store/gas station.  We are getting lots of traffic.  They are estimating 400,000 plus visitors.  There are no vacancies from Ft. Smith to Joplin to Oklahoma.

I seem to have hit or miss success with staying logged in too. Fortunately, I haven't forgotten my log in info...yet :)

I went to make the bed after I posted this morning and there was a sizable amount of blood on the comforter. I know he's miserable but it really gets to me when I see bright red blood. How freaking bad are these ulcers??? I should look but I'm afraid I'll burst into tears. The night we picked him up, the 1st thing I noticed was the area below his nose down to his lips was pink instead of black. I wondered then what he'd been into. Now it's bleeding in some of those areas too. It's all really sad and I wish I could do more to help him :(

poor shane :(

Poor Shane.  I hope that stops soon.  

I posted in Vivian's new thread (titled,old stuff).  Would someone look and see if my instructions seem clear.  She's never found the new NDR threads.  

I spent an hour reading posts on FB on a page called Clinicians Brief.  Veterinary stuff.  Very interesting and informative. The stories they shared about being exposed to rabies were hair raising. 

Karen, I want Norma food too. Is she a good cook?  lol  Don't you just love auto correct?  You have been working long hours, all that travel and staying in a hotel is exhausting.  I hope you don't spend all weekend doing chores.  The house can be messy for your mom's visit.  She won't care.

I am hoping Norma is a good cook lol

Thanks so much for your help Jackie! finally found this one and read yesterday's posts and found today's which I posted in..
