Today was the first of many week days that I did not have to set an alarm. That's right, I am finally done the endless meetings that were tacked onto the school year. Now begins the eight weeks of the year that I get to be just Mommy. You know, my other full time job. The one without all the prestige and glamor of being a public school teacher. So what excitement did we have planned today? Well... not much really. A few appointments and errands. We took our beloved dog Cabbie in to the vet for his checkup. Cabbie has quite a reputation at the vet. It is a good reputation. The complete opposite of a cat I use to own that had to have notes about his bad behaviour written in his file (I was so embarrassed). Not Cabbie though, he views every dog, cat, and person there as some one he should make fast friends with. Luckily for him, at least where the people at the vets are concerned, it works well for him. He had to have some blood work done to get him ready for some upcoming dental work. The vet brought him back in to me after and said, "Only Cabbie could be excited about having blood drawn." It's true. He thought it was a grand adventure. I am also happy to report Cabbie has lost between 3-4 pounds (hard to tell he was a little excited about standing on the scale) and is now in the normal weight category. The vet gave him three cookies to celebrate. No wonder he likes it there.
On other summer related news we harvested our first pepper today.
Pretty exciting.
Alexa's tomato plants have now far surpassed her in height. They are loaded with green tomatoes and she is having a hard time with waiting for them to ripen. "When can I get to pick and eat something?"
Ah summer. Let the laziness begin.
Would that be Hocus you were referring to?
ReplyDeleteYes... yes it would. He was miserable at the vet.
