You culd have a tummy transplant.

If it would be smaller, I'd be all for that!

I'm the first one to run to the doctor if something is fixable. I would if it were.

I will just wish you faster alleviation of the pain, then. My tummy upsets rarely last past a day (unless it's an outright flu), so I'd probably be in a panic by now!

I hope you feel better, Steph. My only thought to add about calling the doctor is to get ruled out whatever they need to rule out earlier rather than later.

This morning my DH has a big annual meeting type thing, so he rode with the puppy and I into the city. He was getting the pup out of the car at daycare when she and he zigged and zagged in opposite directions, with the puppy basically falling out of the car. She was limping, and didn't seem to be walking it off, so we kissed my DH good-bye, and puppy and I went to the vet to get her leg checked. The vet thinks she may have damaged her cruciate ligament and if that is so, she'll need surgery. We see the surgeon tomorrow. Any spare ~better read of the x-ray ma you have lying around would be much appreciated.

Poor puppy! Good reading~ma for the x-ray, Sparky.

Laga, you might find this interesting.

oh Sparky - much Sass~ma. Tell DH no ultimate w/teh puppy.

Oh, poor baby. Will sprain~ma help?

Aims--Radcliffe gve the TOny for best Play, and our friend Tracy won it! The DH sent him an email which said that both of us were squealing at the screen, J because Tracy won, and me because Tracy won AND he got to meet Harry Potter!

Sassafras and I will accept any ~ma, gratefully. She's being so good right now, staying off her leg. I hope that the orthopedic surgeon, like the neurologist we took her to see because of her seizures, will just have a better outlook and a better plan than what the vet was talking about (i.e., surgery and 4+ months of recovery). Although I'd be happy with the part she had to say about "good as new!" The Internets tell me that CCL injuries are very common in dogs.

My pup loves to run. She comes home from playing at daycare all day and wants to get to the park as fast as possible to see all the other neighborhood dogs and play chase with them.

Fortunately, her daycare doesn't have a problem taking her while we work even though she'll have to be separated from the other dogs. "We'll just put her in the TV room," the owner said. So now I have visions of my puppy becoming addicted to day-time TV. But, still -- it's good to be a loyal customer because she'll be happier there than in the crate while we're at work.

I had a very disappointing burrito for lunch. So sad.

~ma for Sassafrass!
