Liquor for breakfast, anyone?

I was tempted - trust me. Yesterday was the day from hell. Tony had to have a couple of wisdom teeth out, so he was scheduled at the dentist at 10:30 yesterday. I mean, he's a guy, I already knew the entire day would be shot, right? (No, I'm not being a bitch, I'm sorry he was in discomfort etc. etc. it's just that - well, YOU know...) Thursday when I got home - later than expected - there was diarrhea everywhere. Starting wiping butts, and discovered it was Emily's. Not terribly concerned at this point, I mean dogs tend to go through gastrointestinal upsets just like us, but she's on Zubrin, and there's always the possibility of intestinal damage from that drug class (NSAIDs). Overnight it turned bloody, so I was on my way to the vet with her yesterday morning at 7:30. I had taken the day off so I could take care of Tony, which I guess was good. Anyway, we use a vet that is clear across town (long story, but basically he's a GREAT vet) - a 40 minute drive in traffic. And remember, Tony's appointment is at 10:30....They rush us in, and I'm back home by 9:45, ready to get Tony to the vet. I mean dentist.

To make an already long story short (and I read somewhere just a couple of days ago that blogs should be short, nobody wants to read a lot of wind (so sue, me, okay?)), all's well that ends well. Emily got 3 medications, and the vet said it probably WAS just a tummy upset. And it only cost $158 LOL. And, no diarrhea since about 7:30 yesterday morning...Tony is fine, slept all day. I had actually planned on that, and had a bunch of home-stuff lined up to do, but I was too ragged out to do it.

Oh, yeah, did I have liquor for breakfast? Well, again, tempting. We found this pecan liquor that is absolutely AMAZING in coffee. But, I want to spend some time on the torch, so I refrained. Maybe I'll take a sick day for myself in the next week or two and indulge!
