How is the puppy? Is she all better now?

Sass is always adorable and well loved, now feeling better, but she hasn't gotten the all clear from the vet, yet. She had a second antibiotic when the first one didn't get rid of the Giardia. My husband thinks her tummy is still sensitive, but considering her last episode of GI distress was after an obedience class where she ate her weight in dog treats, I'm thinking she just had too much of a good thing.

What are good lunch days for you, Maria? Thursdays are generally meeting days for me, so I usually cross that one off as a possibility.

Sorry you didn't know that you had the U's stamp of approval to be late, Vortex!

I'm at home. 2 hour school delay, so Mal and I crawled back into bed. Normally he doesn't, opting instead to bounce toy cars off my face while I try to get a couple more minutes sleep.

4 hours later, he's still asleep. I guess he really is sick.

I got up when the doorbell rang - R sent flowers for Valentine's Day, which is terribly sweet. I felt so bad for the woman delivering them in the ice, and glad I put de-icer on our steps last night.

I also feel bad for our squirrel, hunkered on his ice-covered tree, looking pissed off.

Sorry you didn't know that you had the U's stamp of approval to be late, Vortex!

heh. It just justifies my already being late :)

the first one didn't get rid of the Giardia.

Sparky, I'm going to whitefont my question for the non-puppy fluid interested among us:

Is there blood in her stool ?

If so, it may be a similar infestion to Bartleby's. Awful and remarkably easy to fix, in his case.

May the second round of antibiotics work. Sass needs to be back at full sassitude sooner rather than later.

What are good lunch days for you, Maria?

I can work with any day except Fridays, though next Tuesday is out. Other than that, my schedule is flexible.

Vortex, that just sucks.

Hi Raq!

Hi Maria! Happy Birthdayafter!

My bed, right now: [link]

Fay, I quite admire you being in the play to support your friend. Your stagecraft and savvy will be a big help to her.

And, of course, whether you are in Thailand or Cairo or York it is always odd for us here in Buffistaland to even consider the notion that you are less than 100% scrumptious sex-on-a-stick dipped in charisma and served up with a dollop of wit.

I am also admiring Annabel's strong sense of duty and purpose and diligent acceptance of her proper responsibilities.

Thanks!

Too cute! Mal just gets more adorable every day.

Hi bonny! Wasn't trying to ignore you there... It looks like I need to get my posting legs back.

Happy birthday Maria! It's good to see your pretty self here.

Thank you, Hec! It's nice to be back. Congratulations on the retail distribution of the book!
