tobermory's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things to do in Chicago when you're bored The d.o.g had her vet check-up on Saturday and all is well, although the doc would like to see her gain about 4-5 pounds (she lost some weight when we first got her and she was too nervous to eat). She�s probably 12-13 years old and she has, literally, three teeth. I have been joking that she only had three teeth but little did I know I was telling the truth. I guess she must have tough gums because she doesn�t seem to have any trouble eating the mix of wet/dry dog food that she gets. She can also chomp down a Milkbone with the best of them. The lack of teeth would explain why she has to kind of lick her lips into place like an old person without dentures. Really, it�s kind of gross to dwell on so I�ll just be glad that she�s not a licker, think happy thoughts, and move on. I gave her a bath last night because she was getting a little smelly from the food debris that probably gets smeared on her face (reason number 8352 why cats are better than dogs? They rarely smell). I didn�t stuff cotton in her ears � I was just very careful when I was washing her face. Now she smells very nice, but I think she probably needs to go in for a clip soon because she�s getting a little shaggy and the longer her hair is on her belly the more mud she will pick up. I swear my dad is the biggest bonehead in the world regarding anything to do with a household. Yes, the man started a successful business from scratch, he is a crack gin-runny player, he can finish the Sunday Tribune crossword puzzle, and he can expertly manage an investment portfolio, but he apparently cannot open the plastic clamshell container of mixed melon slices that I brought over for him. Gah. This kind of stuff drives me insane. I suppose I�m lucky that he didn�t get all frustrated and fling the fruit container against the wall as he is wont to do with things that he can�t figure out � then I�d have to go over to the house and clean sticky fruit juice from every crevice in the kitchen. That�s all for today � I have to do some commission reports. Resolution Diary: 12:01 p.m. - 2006-03-13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
