Rude Awakening...

The dictionary definition of 'Rude Awakening' is suddenly being made aware of an unpleasant fact. Well, this morning that phrase was literal for me..... and I WAS suddenly aware of an unpleasant fact - the fact that I was damn well awake....SUDDENLY!

Molly was sleeping on the bed behind me and must have shifted and fallen off. So in her own 'rude awakening' of suddenly falling off the bed, she scrambled out to not fall, and in the process WHACKED me on the back of my with her front paw and raked it down my fuzzy scalp down my neck and onto my shoulders.

The good news is that it didn't break the skin (I disinfected it anyway). The bad news is that it stings like hell. The WORST news is that it happened at 5:04am and now I'm wide awake. I think I should submit a new definition for the phrase......

So, I thought I'd post since I'm still in town - we delayed leaving by one day which worked out well for me as I got to see my mommy and my Butchy before we left town (they were away for awhile).

Cam is staying home 'batching it', as they say. He has 2 flyball tournaments so I know he'll be busy 2 of the 3 weekends I'm gone.

I'm posting from Cam's computer for some reason and I've noticed a pile of mail on his desk. In the pile of mail is a postcard from the vet addressed to Cooper Bow. It says:
"Dear Cooper Bow - our records show that you are due for your next exam and vaccinations. Please have your owner call us to book an appointment. Regular healthcare will go a long way in helping to prevent unnecessary sickness and treatment. Sincerely, Drs and Staff of Guildford Animal Hospital". My DOG has got mail!!! How weird is that? I guarantee that I could hand him this postcard and he won't read it.... and even if he COULD read, it basically says 'tell your owner to come in so I can give you a painful shot and a thermometer up your bum'. Would you tell YOUR mom that?

I think I might give it to him and video it. You'll get to watch him eat the postcard. He loves eating cardstock....

So I was instructed by one person already to have a martini-type beverage, something 'pineapple-y'. Any further requests?? I am always willing to sacrifice for my family and friends.....

In this day and age, it is practically impossible to be out of touch electronically - and I won't be - however, I will attempt to spend my time at the pool or out in the sunshine (with appropriate sunscreen and hat) - and not devoted to the computer. So I'll probably post to gloat about me being in Palm Springs, but won't be glued to it like I normally am.

Will be flying home April 27. See ya!
