Friends and not friends
Mar. 21st, 2006 12:42 pmWell, this morning I am not friends with one of my dogs. Surprisingly, not the dog you'd think.
Anna got prescribed antibiotics because we assume all the howling must have meant something was wrong. Not seriously wrong, but worth fixing anyway. The antibiotics must not be given on an empty stomach. So this morning, I portion out Anna's food for the day, and give her half in the morning. Both dogs get REALLY excited, because beagles really are like Snoopy, with the whole dancing on back legs thing at suppertime. And morning suppertime - wow, bonus, super-extra excitedness!!!! I grab a chew stick for Lizzy because there's no good reason to mess up both dogs' schedules, but I feel like I should give her *something*. Anna gets her dish and starts inhaling. I give Lizzy the chew stick, she takes it, turns her head and throws it over her shoulder and resumes staring "where's my dish?". I give her the chew stick again, we repeat the disgusted throw. And again. Now Anna has finished her breakfast (yes, FAST is the operative part of that word), so she runs over and grabs Lizzy's rejected stick. Lizzy is still staring accusingly.
I take the stick away by offering Anna her peanutbutter-covered pill. Lizzy gets a nibble of peanutbutter too. Lizzy finally picks up the stick and wanders off to chew it. Anna follows me loyally up to the computer room. Lizzy is downstairs somewhere not speaking to me.
In other friends news... looking at my info page and noticed I've been friended by new people. Hi Jeff! So, um, who are you other people that I have not mutually friended? I get the feeling I should maybe know one or two of you. The others have me stumped. So, um, if you're reading this, who are you and how do I know you or how do you know me? Comments will be screened, so say whatever comes to mind.
