Thanks, everyone! I've been preparing myself for bad news all week because I knew the odds were against her. I'm so happy to know that she's going to be okay and that I didn't put her through major surgery for nothing.
On a side note, if any pet-owning local Buffista ever finds out your pet needs major surgery, I have a hell of a veterinary surgeon to recommend. The same woman who amputated Byron's leg did this major work on Zoe, and she's excellent. Expensive, but excellent. She's the one who all the local vets recommend whenever they get a case they feel is too serious for them to handle.
Anyway, yay!
just a dog. And a BLT is just a sandwich!
are people in Washington the state any better with snow that in Washington the city?
In the rural and suburban areas where we don't have many snow plows, we have schools, hospitals closing. Last night a lot of grocery stores closed early.
As a Washingtonian who is NOT good with snow I have a question. Someone told me that with only four inches on a steep driveway you are better off not shoveling because you end up uncovering ice and giving your tires less traction. Good tip? Bad tip?
Yay Zoe and good pet news!
Our driveway was relatively steep and we used to shovel all winter in Illinois. If it got icy we would sprinkle sand over it.
Yay for Zoe! Maybe it's 2008 trying to redeem itself for y'all. Or 2009 making an early appearance. Like the Office Of the 2009 Transition Party or something. Either way, FAB news!!!
I am of the late with holiday stuff. Nothing yet. Nada. I'm bad.
But in my INBOX was 2 very interesting e-mails. The company newsletter from old job, and company newsletter from new job. Both had a blurb about the holidays that tickled me (and my boss that made the move too) pink! Can you guess which one is which?
We send you all our very best wishes for terrific holidays. We also want to tell you that the administrative offices will close at 3:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. If you have completed your [work] responsibilities by then, you are free to leave.
and option 2
administrative offices will be closed on December 24, 25, and 26 in observance of the holidays, AND Thursday, 1 January
2009 in observance of everyone being hung over from the night before.
I'm guessing new office is #2. What a great way to be reminded you made the right choice.
