When it rains, it pours

We can count on the fingers of one hand how many times mom and dad spent the night apart. We're starting to think that maybe they shouldn't do it ever again. Here's why: every single time dad travels something odd happens, be it something malfunctioning, breaking or a dog getting sick.

Yesterday night was no exception. As dad had just turned around the corner to go spend the night in the company of nurses (*) boydog started gagging, curling up in bed and yelping. mom is not known for keeping her cool under such circumstances and freaked out, but managed to make it to the vet ER in once piece with a seemingly recovered boydog. They waited for an hour and a half to get an OK from the vet anyway. We're all fine and trying to look on the bright side of things, this is good preparation for the mighty adventures to come, so help us God.

(*) Get your heads off the gutter. dad went to get a sleep study done.
