Vet Bills

Well it's been an expensive week. Poor Wiska either has an ear infection, or problems with his neck. So he is on ear meds and pain meds right now. Sonny had a weird bump on his nose, so off he went to see Dr. Michelle as well. It's probably nothing, but if it doesn't go down I'll have them xray him when he goes for his annual cardiac ultrasound. And there's another bill. I'm happy to do it and I even get airmiles when I pay for it, so it's not a total loss. But somehow these silly mutts end up being a big drain on the pocketbook at certain times of year. This is one of those times. They're both happy though and running through the rain. They seem to love leaving little footsie prints in my kitchen.

I've started my Christmas shopping too. It's pretty fun this year. I missed last year so I have that to make up for. I'm kind of at a loss for what to get some people, but at least I'm starting early this year.

I dug out this photo and scanned it in. I'm pretty proud of it. It was a really lucky shot. It was on the safari ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom park. The male lion rarely makes an appearance any more. I think he got fed up with having his picture taken and tends to hide now. I'm amazed at how clear the pic is considering I was riding in a boucing truck zooming around the corner of the hill.

I love this picture! I can't believe you took it from your car. Even the grass and hanging branch are perfect...they provide a nice frame.

The only thing missing, of course, is a tacky motivational saying blanketed over it. Something like, "There is Always Time for Strength and Patience."

Or something like that. Though that's kind of fitting really. :-P Anyway, you should be proud of this. I hope you've framed it and hung it on a wall somewhere you can see it often!
