Things Are Moving Along

Not much going on, but we’re busy. Denis leaves tomorrow for a quick trip to NYC to see his family and friends. He’ll fly back on Saturday. We managed to get him some super-cheap airfare ($125 round trip including all fees/taxes), and he’s staying with a friend ($0) so all in all it’ll be a [...]

Checking In…Doing Well

Yesterday we got a call from CB’s school that he was in the nurse’s office not feeling well. I went and got him, and by 2:30 – 3 p.m. he was fine. There was NO NEED for him to come home. His so-called “fever” was 99.1 when they took it yesterday morning, but he ran [...]

I think she’s mixing up “Clifford the Big Red Dog” and “Dinos!” into an amalgam of the perfect pet. *lol* In other news, CootieBoy then joyfully exclaimed, “I burped in CG’s face TWO TIMES!” [...]

Busy Busy – Another Point-by-Point Post

Today we are taking Stinky to the vet. She has had some really ragged breathing for about a month now. We tried to treat it homeopathically, to no avail. So it’s time to fork out some dough to get a professional opinion. Hopefully the bill won’t be too high, so it’s not an expense we [...]
