Off Week

What do you do when you have the week off with your mom and you've already done all you can think of to entertain yourself? Apparently, you sneak into the bathroom and paint your face with your mom's expensive lipstick....

Tough Girl

Unfortunately, Sophie's trip to the emergency vet didn't come with good news.  We thought perhaps she had caught a cough from Teddy.  However, her cough was actually being caused by early stage heart failure.  After spending the night in an oxygen chamber, she was given prescriptions for 3 medicines she'll have to take twice a day for the rest of her life.  They essentially gave us a timetable of 5 minutes to 5 years.  It all depends on how she reacts to the medicine they referred to as "a heart transplant in a bottle".  It wasn't the news we wanted, but it's the news we got.  So, we have no choice but to take that news and enjoy every second with her for the next 5 years.

Overload

You ever try to work from your laptop in the lobby of the emergency vet because your job won't let up and your 11 year-old dog can't breathe likely due to catching an illness from your puppy you can't stand on the same day your son got in a second fight at school and your daughter gave you enough attitude to melt the paint off the walls because you she didn't want to take a bath?  Those days make you question a few life choices.

Love Hate

Despite the fact that he bites me, tears up all my things, eats my socks, and generally terrorizes me.... I think Teddy might actually love me....

Last Step?

Meggan always said she wanted to turn our steps from carpet to hardwoods...tonight, Teddy decided to help her....

Not Today, Rain

No need to stop grilling for the storm. A little rain never hurt anyone....the lightning and thunder may have sent me scrambling into the house a few times, though...

Top of the Mountain

We have returned home from a quick trip to Stone Mountain to see family and relive my youth.  I hadn't been back in the better part of two decades, but it was just as much fun as I remembered...
