Sleep, I've missed you...

So, Sydney has been wrestling with a pretty nasty case of Kennel Cough this past week.  This means godawful doggy-coughing -- usually at its worst in the middle of the night (god, why).  Lately I am as tired as I was when I was crate-training Darwin and averaging three hours of sleep a night.  Four hours at a stretch seems to be the record.  The good news is that she seems to be coming out of it (took her for a walk with no coughing, and she was wrestling with Darwin a few minutes ago), so sleep might actually be in the cards for me this weekend.  I don't know when I should allow her to go to puppy daycare with Darwin -- she's on Doxycycline, and that seems to be fighting the KC off with a big fat stick, but I don't know how contagious she is while ON the meds.  Darwin's been vaccinated against KC, and hasn't been showing any symptoms at all, so that's good.  And the vet even said if he gets it at all, it'll be a milder strain.

I know a lot of people think the Bordatella shots are a load of hooey, but so far one out of two dogs has remained perfectly healthy.  Let's hope the same can be said for the humans.  (Not that we can get sick from the dogs, but the lack of sleep has been taking its toll on both of us, and THAT, my friends, is when those in Casa de Bunneh get sick.)

I am also being slow like a slow thing in getting my laptop set up.  I fiiiinally got MS Money all situated, and will probably work on moving over my music next.  My pictures are all moved over, but do not even remotely resemble anything near organized.

Must work on that.

First, however.  A nap.

No, wait.  First going to call and see if I can get Darwin into a beginning agility class (cross your fingers) and THEN a nap.

sydney, dogs
