I not only have to work today, I was called at 5 AM and I'm not even on call! The primary and everyone else they called didn't respond.

Sleeping in? Hah! This ain't no Federal holiday! Yeah, I'm at work.

I'm on duty in my new, temporary position as home health care nurse. Of course, it's in my own home, and my patient is a long-leggedy, brown-eyed, furry girl who whimpers politely when she wants something.

There we go. Annie wants breakfast, and it's time for her antibiotic.

I did sleep in. On purpose.

Have to stay up late tonight.

It's dance party, baby!

Wish I could have. Dog decided to start barking at 4 AM for no apparent reason. We had to get her up to go out at that point, since the barking usually heralds some sort of excretory function. She didn't want to go, in more ways than one. Her recovery has been slow, but at least she's still with us and home.

I'm not home. Normal working day for me. There was just enough snow on the ground to be slippery, and not enough for most places to plow. Nasty combination. Even the highway had one lane (of two) covered with packed snow and nary a plow to be found. Barely a week into it and I'm already tired of winter.

Not a big posting day, is it?

With both December games ending and the arbitrary calendar observation (to steal from Dilbert), I guess not too many peeps are motivated to stick their heads in.

I'll go play LS, but then I'm going to find something more active to do for a few hours. It's supposed to get up to 49 here this afternoon, so maybe I'll try to get some people together for golf.

And here I thought I was the only one who wondered out loud why New Years is a holiday....

You're welcome to come over here and cut fallen tree branches. BYOCS. (Bring your own chain saw.)

How is Annie doing?

How is Rusty doing?

Annie seems to be doing okay, considering. I'm taking her to the vet later today to get her morphine patch replaced. (It lasts for about three days.) I just don't want her to get back into a painful condition, which seems like a possibility as long as she has so many sutures and drainage tubes. The tubes have to stay until Friday.

Rusty seems to be doing fine. Rusty seems to be the sweetheart that everybody loves. Rusty and Annie have not seen each other since last Wednesday and may never be under the same roof again. Options remain under consideration. Last night, Adventure Boy offered to take Rusty to Idaho, where he could live in a fairly rural area as an only dog. That couldn't happen until AB could drive down here to pick the dog up, however, because (a) the airlines would not accept an animal in cold weather and (b) Rusty cannot be crated to fly, anyway.

Day by day.

Most important, how is SC doing?

It sounds like you're beginning to stretch a little thin.

We're very glad you're here.

And glad you are the person you are.

Or should I say four-footer?

Are you planning to let the two see one another, perhaps through an appropriate barrier to see what the reaction/reception is? Once Annie is a little more stable of course.

Or are you fairly convinced that it was Rusty that attacked Annie? Seems under the circumstances that the likelihood is low that there was some other explanation but I suppose it is possible.

I am glad that Annie is doing better and that you have a plan for Rusty.

I would like to think that a bear got into your house, instead of Rusty hurting Annie.

I know that Rusty had a history before you adopted him, have you talked to the greyhound rescue group to see if there was anything that they haven't told you about his past?
