quick puppy update

Brian took Alice to the vet today to have the lump on her lip aspirated. They did not see anything suspicious in the fluid, but the lump is getting larger, so she needs to have it removed. Her surgery is scheduled two weeks from today.

As for Buster, he is doing pretty well on his reduced medication schedule. I think the supplement (Zylkene) the vet gave us is making the difference. I’m sure he’s going to be a pain in the neck next week, when he’s only taking 1/4 the amount of medicine as usual, but at least we were able to get through this week relatively pain free.

movies

the family

We watched this movie over the weekend. It was a black comedy about a mob family in the witness protection program. Due to the “comedy” aspect, the violence was kind of over the top. The film was by no means memorable, but it was an entertaining enough way to spend some time. As an aside, for a 70 year old, Robert De Niro looked pretty good in this movie. He should think about keeping the facial hair.

My rating: 3/5

out and about

twofer

I was doubly social yesterday. Last night the three of us went out for dinner with Carol and Bob at Franklin Street Bar & Grill. We had a good time catching up, though I think the staff was ready to throw us out by the time we left as we sat around talking well beyond the time our bill was paid. We’ve been trying to get together for quite some time now, so I’m glad it finally happened. The good news is that we already have some events planned for spring, so it won’t be so long until we see each other again.

knitting

yarn shopping

I finished knitting Brian’s scarf last night. To celebrate, my knitting teacher took me yarn shopping in Ligonier this morning so that I could get some yarn for some new projects. I can see that this is going to be an expensive hobby! Don’t tell Brian…

celebrations

super bowl

We had our annual Super Bowl party with our families last night. The game was awful, but it’s just as well because you can’t really pay attention to it when there are that many people in the room. The food was great, though. We did the main dishes and everyone brought sides. There was too much to eat! I would have liked to have seen Peyton Manning win another ring. Maybe next year…
