Feet first.
I have been writing some gargantuan blog posts lately, so I'm going to try to rein it in a little. Good heavens. God bless all of you who have made it this far without a peep of complaint!
The first and most important order of business for the week is that Winston stepped on a thorn and had to go to the vet to have it removed. It was quite sad, and it got me thinking about how awful it is for animals when they're hurt. "Owwwww, my foot! This is terrible! My foot hurts so bad--WAIT, WHY WOULD YOU BRING ME TO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE?" It's sad to think that dogs will never see the vet's office as a place of caring. They just see it as the place with the cold thermometers.
Big W is fine, and I must say cuter than ever. We call him Thumper because of the sound his bandaged foot makes when he trots around the house: click click click thump click click click thump --
And so on.
In other news, I emailed the first draft of Project X to my Amazon Kindle, which I feel like I keep promising to blog about and not actually doing, and started reading. It seems rather smooth at the present time, although I know thar be rough waters ahead. In the book's defense, I am more overwhelmed than ever with how much of a crush I have on one of my characters, which I realize is kind of creepy.
And... scene.

I'm so glad to see my partner-in-crime is doing okay. And, yes, those poor animals never fully understand that the person THEY feel is doing them the most harm (doctor) is actually doing them the most good. There are some theological analogies that can be drawn from this.
And speaking of hurting animals, my dog is having emergency surgery this afternoon for stones. He was unable to go to the bathroom so we took him to the vet and the decision was made immediately in favor of surgery . The doctor told us no to stay around as that might make him jittery and pose as a hazzard after surgery. I pray he comes out okay.
Interesting point about the theology, Tom... I'll give that some thought.
I'm SO SO sorry to hear about your pup!
Thanks, Katie:0)
What a boo boo face your little Winston has:( He's no dummy! I hope Tom in Vegas' dog fares well. I am such a sucker for animals.
Tell me about your Kindle! I would love one. Pros, cons, anything you can think of.
I think it is totally cool to be able to write a character so well that you end up having a crush on him. That is impressive.
But right now, I'm crushing on Winston. That dog is so cute!
BTW, I have a little something for you over at my blog, entry 2 April.
Oh dear - another dog to worry about. Between Critter and Winston I headed for an anxiety attack.
....and Kindle looks like a really neat thing to have. I could easily carry around hundreds of books if I wanted. Now how kewl is that??
I'm with Megan - how about a Kindle review.
Gah. We had to take ours to the vet yesterday to have dental work done. She had a tooth pulled. She is unamused with me. She is however loving the vile soft food she is getting.
You're welcome, Tom... so glad your dog came safely through his surgery!
Laura, that's his "hungry" face... which is pretty much the permanent expression! Any sucker for animals is always welcome here.
Megan, I'll post a review (for real this time!) -- maybe next week?
Maggie, thanks for naming me at your blog! I'm going to post my own list soon.
Adrienne, put down the paper bag, both dogs are okay. ;-) Since you and Megan demand a Kindle review, I'll get working on one.
Eileen, your poor pup! And Tom's! And Robin Brande's dog got hurt, too. What the heck is going on?
I vote for a Kindle review, too!
And okay, I'm not a dog person, but that dog is flippin' adorable.
P.S. LOVE the photo of you below. Great choice.
Ok - breathing in and out again:)
