All Clean

2:00 p.m.  There are three very clean, very beautiful dogs living with me now.  When we got to the groomers they suggested that all of them get a bath so Red joined the other two and got all cleaned up.  She had never been to a groomer before but apparently she did okay.  At least no one got bitten.  As you can see Teddy is the most changed.   He actually has a face.  Red isn’t sure she knows him, but the nose knows.  As always, Silly is beautiful.

I had a long hot shower this morning so we are all clean.  In fact I was barely on time getting the dogs to the groomer, 10:00 a.m.  Then I headed to Walmart for some groceries.  It was really strange putting groceries away without three noses checking everything. 

Then to the doctor’s office.  As to my treatment, I am to go on a liquid diet for a week to see if that helps my belly.  If not he thinks I should see a gastroenterologist.  If that is the case I told him I would have to head home as I have no support system here.  (Gastroenterologists order things like colonoscopies which involve anesthetic)  He offered to put me in the hospital for a week.  Oh goody.   I think I’d rather head home than spend a week in the hospital and have to board the dogs. 

So I went back to the grocery store and got a bunch of juice and jello.  I will try the liquid diet for a week and then make a decision about whether or not to head home.   Cheeesh.

5:30 p.m.  My cell phone rang at 5:00 this evening.  It was the alert system in my home town warning me of a possible snow emergency starting tomorrow at 6:00 a.m.  I am not to park on the street.    Let’s see – go home to snow emergencies or stay here and eat jello.   Well, snow melts, so I don’t have to think about it today.  I’m glad I’m here and not there – for now.  I’ll think about it

later….
