Some Xmas Videos - Happy Holidays to My Friends, Near & Far (mostly far, really far)
Not meant to be depressing - I was going more for the Las Vegas & Elvis flavor. I already miss Leigh-Ann, since we’re together pretty much 24/7. Nonetheless, I’m happy she’s having a white Christmas with her family, for the first time in 13 years. That’s way too long to miss the holidays at home. Hopefully, next year we’ll have it all figured out so that she can be here for Xmas Eve and we can both be there for Christmas Day. And, I wouldn’t mind a Leafs’ game to add to it...and some snow, but not too much snow...or too much cold.
One more. I’ve been awake for an hour or so waiting until it was time to give Cricket her meds. I don’t want to let her get off schedule because the meds are helping her pain tremendously. No panting since yesterday after she, uh, took care of some business that she was in too much pain to take care of before. I’m guessing the position is very painful for her. However, the combination of Tramadol, Robaxin, & Prednisone is keeping her comfortable. She’s sleeping, she still has an appetite, and she isn’t making me want to cry when I listen to her pant and whimper. Best of all, she isn’t following me everywhere I go in the bedroom, which was also making her pain worse due to all of the activity. I tried sitting on the floor with her and petting her to calm her through the pain, but it didn’t work. She wanted to be glued to me...but she was still in extreme pain. However, add another fan of better living through chemistry to the household. She’s much closer to being the happy Cricket we know and love. So, I’m off to give her a lovely Hawaiian bread doughball (mmm, nothing but the best for my baby - plus, I can occasionally sneak a pillless doughball) with some lovely Tramadol & Prednisone. And, I’ll see you at 8am for the Robaxin doughball.
A fun one!
I appreciate all of your good thoughts for us (in previous entries and emails), and we’re hoping for a better and healthier 2008, for us and for our furry beings. This year has sucked in a whole lot of ways, but we’re both grateful for the amazing friendships we’ve found online. You’ve all enriched our lives, and we wished you lived closer. I’m hoping to at least be able to track down Laurie & Dana (our Ontario pals) and their boys (Dana has THREE boys!!!, as of last Friday - she wins for best Xmas present ever) for next year’s Canadian Xmas (or fall, fall is good) vacation.

I LOVE WINNING!
Except I’m too tired, right now, to do much jumping around and screaming. Thankfully, the aforementioned 3 boys are doing JUST FINE at that task.
