Let’s Try This Again
(OK, Blogger is being cranky but sort of working now so here we go.)
First of all, Teddy says Hi!
Back to the vet yesterday, because he keeps getting diarrhea, so we are on some new medicine in case some of the giardia is still lurking. Pumpkin, suggested by a helpful reader, does seem to help a bit. He’s been his happy crazy self, just having this digestive issue. Hopefully this will take care of it. The good news was that they did a skin scraping of his mangey spots and – no mites! So another week of the cream to be sure, but it looks a lot better (you can still see that bit of red on his snout in the picture).
It was a lovely day that I sort of whiled away. I did get to Target to get a bunch of crap; bad planning to go there on Saturday, between screeching whelplings and whiny people and people sitting blocking the way in the parking lot because if they just pulled into the empty space a little farther down, they’d have to walk another twenty seconds, I was annoyed by the time I got into the store. I really need to go there during the week when it’s calm.
In the parking lot, a woman was pleading with her son who kept wandering into the traffic lane. She was trying to bribe him to the car by offering him treats. Lady, how about “Get over here RIGHT NOW or else!” instead of “Honey, want a juice box?” It made me think of an article from Philadelphia magazine that MWK passed on to me after reading it on a plane, about how a whole generation of kids is being raised to be self-involved and in need of constant praise. (I can’t link to the article because the magazine’s site really sucks ass.)
Then at home I started playing with Photo Booth on my MacBook. It has fun effects!
Some days I am easily amused.
Then I dozed off on the couch. Yay Saturday.
Oh yeah, and I got a haircut, and my hair is nice and short again, and I look like my driver’s licence photo.
