I've got a strip steak thawing and will be making roasted fingerling potatoes and brussels sprouts. I've got a bottle of a Spanish red I'm going to try. I think I'm going to bake something in a bit so I have something sweet for after.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I've got some pre-packaged meal, I don't even know what.
My two cents on shipping dogs is this. Many (most) airlines will not let you ship a drugged dog. Also, I think most vets recommend strongly against it as it makes it harder for the dog to maintain their internal temperature and otherwise physically cope with the experience.
I've had good experiences with United (they shipped our dogs internationally with no issues including customs) but domestically Continental is the best. They were recomended and used by our vet and we also had great experiences with them.
Eta: if your dog is likely to get stressed, you can crate train for several weeks before the flight to help them adjust. I also recommend freezing their water and the putting a towel on the bottom of the crate to absorb water/puke/whatever, but then also pit in a foam bed to make them feel safe and have a puke/water/poop free place to sit/sleep.
Nasty headache that is 17 hours and counting. Ditched most plans for day. Treating with water, ibuprofen, darkness, lying flat and meditation cd.
Must be able to go see friends tonight. G is in from NY.
Pronouns lost but not a priority right now.
{{{Smonster}}} I hope you are feeling better soon and can enjoy some time with your friend.
I have chicken and rice cooking in the crock pot. Smells wonderful and is making me HUNGRY!!!
{{smonster}} Go away headache.
Just got back from lunch at the mall. So far, Shanie does well on short outings. He us plumping up nicely, too. Weighs 10 lbs, 1 oz as of yesterday!
Hubby just poked his head in and declared "Vampire potato beetles!" then left.
"What?" I said after a moment.
"It just wandered through my brain."
Glam, I need picture proof of the plumping boy!
We ordered an appetizer platter and tamarind duck. I hope it is good.
