So I'm gearing up to see KT Tunstall this week (excited!) and then heading out to Seattle to visit some old friends for a long weekend. There are plans to camp on Mt Rainier, weather permitting. Also excited about that, but to be honest, I'm more excited about catching up and laughing with JJ. You know those kind of old friends you have that know most of your secrets and have the same sense of humor? The last few times we've gotten together for various things (wedding/holiday/etc), there's been too much going on and we haven't had a good conversation about some of the stuff that's been happening with both of us the last couple of years. So I'm looking forward to some drinkage and dishing.
Had a minor scare last night when I discovered that one of the black dogs had eaten one of those mouse poison cubes. I had put one in the garage here b/c there was some evidence of mice and usually, the door is closed. But somehow it got open and both dogs managed to hang out in the garage for enough time to find the cube and eat it. I only noticed b/c I was hyperaware of it given the dogs. I wasn't sure which one ate it, so I ended up taking them both into the vet about 10pm last night. Treatment is a shot of Vitamin K and Vit K pills for three weeks. Luckily, given their size and the preventative treatment of the vitamins (the mouse stuff acts as a major anti-coagulant so you need to get the clotting going again), the vet said they should be ok. You can bet there will be no more mice cubes anywhere they might get to them again. Dogs.
I can already tell this football season is going to be a long one. Chiefs are 0-2 and aren't looking good. Not a happy camper.
Finally, I have no idea why I am up at this hour other than the wine I had with dinner is making my head pound and I dread trying to fall asleep with the pain. I swear, wine has really been letting me down lately. Used to be able to drink it up one side and down the other, but now the headaches are starting to be a given. Again, this camper is not happy. Goodnight!

I relieved to hear the Black Dogs will be okay. Honestly, cats are not much better; in fact they are worse, because, unlike dogs--who do it out of stupidity or hunger--cats eat crap they shouldn't out of pure, malevolent spite: Oh, you're so going to pay for washing my stinky bed cover, my friend. I'm going to eat this dried leaf and I'm going to throw up on your sneakers and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
Have a wonderful time in Seattle, sweetie. Climb every mountain! Take photos!
Hey babes, I was cheering your team on, but dangitall, they fell a tad short. Long season, tell me about it. My team (THE RAIDERS) are 0-2 and I mean they have been spanked good. Jeez, if anyone needs a spanking...it's me.
Have fun in Seattle. When I fly to Vancouver on business I stay several extra days and visit Seattle. I love my walks there.
