Oh dear, Pix. So much doggie~ma sent your way.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Oh, dear, Pix. Get better, puppies!
Dad appears to be over the noro virus (and yeah, that's what it was). But he's in no hurry to get his dog back. Who I wouldn't mind keeping except he's kind of annoying to walk, and I can't run with him at all.
Gotta do paperwork tonight, finalize the refi. The appraiser came and he didn't really like the house: the value came in about $40K less than I expected, partly because the lot is so small. But it's enough to justify the refi, so I guess I'll take it.

They aren't sure what caused it; they did lab work and X-rays and nothing turned up related to the vomiting, so they treated her to stop it. Now the concern is that her spleen looked enlarged on the X-ray, which may lead to ultrasound. The spleen scares me because my last Shep had a mass on her spleen that led to major surgery and a lot of worry. I'm trying not to think about it.
Anyway, we are finally home and she has perked up. She's able to keep water down, and I'll feed her chicken and rice tomorrow.
I need to eat something. I am running short on spoons tonight.

I vote you make her chicken and rice tonight and then spice up a portion for you! May a round of meds fix it right up.

Just want to take a minute to thank everyone for letting me use Natter to worry tonight. You’re the best. I’m going to go to sleep and hope for good news tomorrow.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, too much doggy trouble! Fingers crossed for you all!
There are definitely casinos in PA -- my Mom used to go to one because there were organized trips every week to the one near Philly, which was built around a pre-existing racetrack. I'm not much on gambling (I hate to lose money more than I like to win it) but I was happy to take her and let her enjoy herself.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
My folks like to go to the little riverboat casino in their town, have the buffet, and spend $20 each on slots. And their only real vacation ever was a road trip to Vegas. I ain't hating -- some people really enjoy it.

There's a Chana Joffe-Walt and a Jude Joffe-Block now working for NPR and that's very confusing in the morning. Sisters, maybe?
