1 Lab + 8 Rocks = $800

Part of what occupied my week last week was our lab, Kaylee. She's always been a handful; she's eaten sticks, pens, towels, blankets, and rocks. Everything has always made a, um, successful journey. Rocks she can usually hork back up the next day, but we always knew it was a matter of time before surgery was needed.

Well, last week the time came for surgery. One morning, the hyper three year-old lab went outside and just sat down. No running around, no barking at mysterious creatures in the woods. She just sat there, a sure sign something was wrong. Took her to vet, they took an x-ray, and sure enough, a belly full of rocks. They really wanted to avoid surgery, but after 24 hours the rocks were still there. Into surgery she went. Everything went well, and we are now the proud owner of an $800 baggie of 8 rocks.

Good thing she's cute.

Here is a picture of Kaylee & Xena staring out the window, guarding against evil hordes of chipmunks.

Not Around Much

I haven't been around much, so here are some gratuitous doggie pictures. :)

Cute of the Day

Our little princesses, looking all obedient and innocent. It only took 17 shots to get a decent one!
