Where do I even start? OK - WD is doing fine after his trip to the ER last week. His follow-up with the pediatrician on Friday revealed a big fat nothing. She thinks it may have been a virus. Yeah...right. Couldn't possibly have been the 3 shots she gave him that morning....what was I thinking???? (insert sarcasm here)
Then this weekend we had our cookout. Our friends Betsy, Nick & Morgan came and we played ladder golf, Are You Smarter than A 5th Grader?, and Mad Gab while dining on some great smoked ribs. Dave did a great job, all of you who couldn't make it - really missed out!
Then Saturday we ran errands all day, to come home, only to have to go to the ER again ... this time with our daughter! While we were putting away groceries, Raspberry was outside enjoying a tasty treat...Rat Poison! I heard Dave screaming and yelling at me when I was inside nursing William. I finally jump up to go see what's going on only to be scolded by him for having left a bag of BIG rat poison (that I'd recently bought at Menard's) on the ground as Raspberry (our black lab) had gotten into it. Dave had caught her eating it - and I immediately called our Vet to get her emergency #. She happened to be in the office and told us to make her throw it up (get her to drink hydrogen peroxide) and bring her in, so that's what we did. If you think it's tough getting a dog to take medication, you should try getting one to swallow a liquid! She threw up several times, and we were on our way in. We weren't there 20 minutes, before we were checked out and on our way home with 2 medications, and orders to keep her calm for 3 weeks (yeah right). So she's back to "normal" and still taking one medication for the duration of the 3 weeks.
I have to say for the first time in a very long time, I was glad to go to work on Tuesday! Of course it's now Wednesday and I'm wishing for Friday again. Such is life.
