Scottie Comic Relief

Carl has been out of town all week visiting his brother in the state of Washington.  He decided that instead of flying, he would take the Amtrak train across the country.  A nearly 4 day trip.  There are people that think this would be great fun, however, I am not one of them.  He made it to Washington, and said the trip while a long one, was one he enjoyed.  I guess that's what matters.

On the homefront, I have to admit, that its not been the best week for us. Sunny developed a large lump on his chin.
Getting in touch with and arranging a time with our new "mobile vet" proved to be a bit of a challenge. We were finally able to meet him in a parking lot.  Mobile Vet doesn't think it's tooth related, but rather from an injury on his cheek that's gotten infected.  Sunny thanked Mobile Vet for seeing him by snapping at him.  Mobile Vet returned the gesture by giving Sunny 2 antibiotics that are upsetting his stomach. But the medications are working, and the lump is much smaller.

Not to be outdone Jake also has an upset stomach.  I'm not sure what's caused it.  But after a couple of nights of letting him outside several times, along with a bland diet I can tell he's feeling better.  

Usually single-parenting and dogs with upset stomachs aren't a problem.  However, I was also pretty under the weather this last week and stayed home from work.  Something I never do.
However, today I am finally feeling better -- But how could I not with this kind of Scottie-comic-relief?





What would we do without Todd?

  1. Todd is quite the silly boy, isn't he? Ouch, Sunny's sore - if you lived here I would think snake bite or something of that ilk. Think some kind of stomach bug is being passed around with the mail or whatever. One of my boys had a bug this past week. Carl's vacation is nearly half over isn't it? I imagine you are growing tired of the lonely game.

  4. One of our girls has been quite ill with a stomach bug all week, too, and we have made regular trips to the vet - sometimes twice a day. She now seems to be on the mend, but is still on her special gastrointestinal kibble for a few more days.
    Poor Sunny, we hope that he, Jake, and yourself, Kim, soon recover. We're sure Todd and his antics will cheer us all up !

  9. Oh Todd! You're the best for fun! I have to take probiotics everyday and I eat a charcole cookie after every meal as I have a sensitive tummy, too. Mom is always worried about me.

    I hope you, Sonny and Jake are feeling better . . .
    Thank goodness Todd has kept the mood fun and lively!

  11. I'm glad that everyone is on the mend (including you, I hope). I find it almost impossible to take good care of my dogs when I'm a single parent with a migraine... so I totally get it.

    Todd is a hoot! I love his energy and zaniness!

  21. Do you live near Harper's Ferry? We used to go there all the time when we lived in Maryland.

    It feels like it's about time to get our sprinkler out too. The dogs love to attack it.

  22. Oh Todd, you crack us up!!! Ryker likes to play with the hose. And Yes, I love Rie Munoz's works, they are so much fun. But I would want to pay you something for them.
