Memo to our puppy and a brief summary of Things
Dear Jade:
Please tonight to not be barfing twice in the wee hours of morning. Or at all, really. I've gotten a LOT LOT better about handling animal barf, especially since you're considerate enough to usually have fairly solid barf that is easy to clean up. Still, it really isn't how I'd like to spend my time, especially as it was the weekend and was really looking forward to a little sleep, despite the 8:45a MRI. As it was, after the second barf (at 3:25am, a whole 15 mins after the first one), I figured it was safer to corral you in the kitchen and sleep on the sofa so I could monitor you without disturbing Will's sleep. (Himself not wanting to lift a finger in all of this.) Of course, this didn't entirely work, as he doesn't sleep well without me, and I'd had to turn the bedroom light on twice in order to see what I was cleaning up, waking him up even more than he'd been from the barfy noises. Yes, I did eventually doze on the sofa, since you were kind enough to be totally fine the rest of the night, but still - it wasn't ideal.
However, I realize that you twice got a few bites of Nala's food today and also took a lick at carpet that had cleaner on it (from where MiniPlu accidentally spilled her cereal) before we could stop you, and that despite our best efforts, it's possible tiny bits of chocolate made their way to floor level from today's baking antics. So, I'm not real confident about the state of your stomach, to be honest. Still, consider this a polite request: I'd like tonight to be a completely barf-free experience, kthnx.
♥,
Mom
(We're still working out exactly what gets Jade's tummy in a knot. She definitely seems to have a more sensitive digestive system than any dog I've owned before, but I haven't noticed any particular pattern yet.)
Also, apparently I still need to make a Jade icon. *points* That's Nala.
I'm too tired and it's too late at night for a full post, especially as SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW YAY, but I will say that we had a pretty good weekend overall: a nice visit with German friends, lots of productive errands, some tasty baking, Amazon treats (and a belated acknowledgement of some cool stuff courtesy of hamsterwoman, and some cleaning/weeding of unneeded crap, even though there's a long way to go. Negatives: clueless tykes at TKD, and another big clash with MiniPlu over biking (and that really needs its own post), and insufficient sleep.
Another time....
