someone's knocking at my door, somebody's ringing the bell

[raybear]

At the vet we were discussing possible causes for Sophie's digestive issues. I mentioned having houseguests over the weekend who left right before she got sick, and he asked, "could they have slipped her something?" Like what, a mickey?

So if any of my recent houseguests "slipped" my dog something to cause problems, please feel free to now slip me some cash for the vet-prescribed dog food. Yeah, I didn't know they had prescription dog food either.

He concluded that it was either stress induced or possibly a "street virus". Why does this vet make my dog sound like she's involved in the local drug trade?

In other news, so far having an intern this summer is doing wonders for cleaning off my desk -- just in time to gain two more attorneys in the office and twice as much work.

And I haven't posted about this, but I've been feeling very down about the recent loss of June Jordan. Yesterday I made snarky cracks about someone using the phrase "her spirit was too big for this world" as some sort of explanation for a person's death. Yet now I can't stop thinking about that phrase in reference to June. We're lucky we had her in this world at all.

This was randomly the funniest entry I've read in a while. Especially the part about slipping the mickey. I miss you, MelRo, and Sophie..I'd rather have her puke on my shoes than not see y'all. hehe

Sorry I've been so scarce.
Catch you later.
