snow!

it has snowed in the north and the puppy is happy! bless her, she do love the frozen stuff - i can hardly get her inside. we had a good romp, complete with snowfight as i shoveled - she'd run under where i was tossing the snow, and zoom across the yard, then come back for more. is there anything more joyful than to watch a happy dog romp?she lifts my heart.

Thanksgiving was great - very low-key, 8 of us, lots of food and the pups romped 'til they dropped. pup needs a little boost of pred before romps, but sometimes it seems that it's a little too much. i'll cut some of the halves to quarters and see how that does her - such a sensitive little flower. oo, and exciting news - my supplier has percorten back in stock, so no more delays! i hope that keeps up.

when i think back 2 years and compare life to now, i am amazed at my new skill set: no fear of needles (includes needles administered into me, as well), knowledge base of meds, blood levels and ratios, bladder infection and stone symptoms... pup is quite the educator. and she is so freaking funny - i think that's the big indicator that she is feeling great! when she's got a squeaky toy and wants my attention, she can really get me rolling.

and some wonderful person has been snow-blowing the whole neighborhood's sidewalks, and i love them for it. i want to catch them in the act and take them cocoa and cookies. i would like to think i would do the same, were i blessed with such machinery - they are a beautiful sight!

and so begins december. where did the year go?
