That carpet shampooer I bought a few years ago then stuck in the garage has earned itself a post-Thanksgiving place of honor in the dining room. It stands there tall and proud, my ally as we deal with the daily chronic diarrhea of two dogs who may well have had a few too many hot turkey sandwiches with gravy.
I've got gravy to spare.
Since I took Lilly to the vet last Friday with what I suspected was an infection from her female operation and the vet found exactly JACK; I can't take her tomorrow without arousing suspicion that I'm doing some sort of Munchausen-by-proxy thing with a dog. So tonight I dosed both of them with Pepto-Bismol and am giving it another day.
Currently, their bowels are my life.
Let's get this blogiversary posting off to a good start.

I learned lots of good stuff before I realized I was too deaf to be a good vet tech.

On Lilly's deathbed she'll be saying something like "Pork rind? Don't mind if I do."
