All Legal

Harriet went into the Vet early Tuesday morning. After not having eaten or drank since Monday night at midnight, she was pretty deprived. Hubby had to carry her into the office this time as she put on full brakes while in the truck!

She warmed up to the nurses in the office room and was led back to the surgery prep area. We left to go pick up lattes & get groceries in Spirit Lake. Hubby drove me around the lake to see Matt H's new home.

Greg's day was very exciting. He took Bravo with him to pick up Joe H. But while they were driving back from town, Joe H's daughter had called. Having fallen down on the ice without having health insurance at her new job, she was unable to call an ambulance and needed to be taken to the hospital. The guys had to pick her up. And pick her up off the ice, pile her into the truck then transport her to a local hospital. After waiting 2 hours at the medical facility for Cindy H to return from lunch (she had forgotten her cell phone that day, so nobody could get hold of her!) hubby finally made it home. The H bunch are always having problems. A one hour trip turned into 6 hours of chaos!

I am still trying to organize all my scrapbook ephemera on ACDSee, but it would help if I quit buying new stuff. A never-ending task. This is the task that never ends, it just goes on and on my friend, somebody star-ted organizing not knowing what they did, and they will go on organizing for-ever just because this is the task that never ends. . .

We picked Harriet up at 4pm; the Vet said that with an underbite, he incisors were cutting into her soft tissue of her mouth. I had authorized them to pull them as it would have had to be done sometime. They caught it in time before it became worse. So the poor dog has no bottom front teeth.

• Little known fact-Did you know that Vets can perform Orthodontia on dogs? Has anybody out there had braces on their dog?

While she was in surgery, she got a security implant. So if the dog ever goes missing the authorities will be able to return her to us. The girls are Legal! Got County registration tags for both Isabelle & Harriet so they are legal. Bravo will have to get his when KRN returns.

Both dogs now have Health Insurance on them. Yippee. That makes the worry of a major catastrophe so much better. I would much prefer offering them health alternatives over euthanasia.

It has been such grey, dreary and depressing weather lately. We had a light dusting of snow on Tuesday. Nothing much. Just enough to make it super slipery and super icky.

Took KRN to the Air Force Base for her flight. Bravo came along with us so that K could say goodbye to him. We stopped at Taco Del Mar on the way to pick up burritos. The plane check-in was at 1pm and we got there quite early. Finally left around 2:30pm as K went to wait in the restricted area. It was very fortunate that they had enough room on stand-by for her to fly back to the UK.

We drove the Jeep home and garaged it until M&K return. Hubby went to work in the shop while I worked on cleaning up the house.
