Snickers Update

Not much of an update - I didn't hear from the vet today, but he told me that the test results might not be in until Thursday, so here's to another day of waiting.

Snickers

Two weeks ago, I took Snickers to the vet for her annual checkup. There was a growth on her eyelid that had been there for some time, but I wanted Dr White to check it out. He inspected it, and it turns out the growth was touching hey eyeball and irritating the eye, causing Snickers to tear up and blink all the time. Anyway, we scheduled surgery for Tuesday (yesterday), so when the time came, I took her to the vet (again! - she's getting suspicious of getting in the car now, ha ha). Not even an hour after I had dropped her off, I get a call from the vet - no surgery after all, at least not for now. Her blood enzymes (found in the blood CBC) were way off - suggesting something is wrong with her liver.
Dr. White performed another test on her during her stay. He fed her and then sampled her blood after eating to see if the liver was performing as it should. The results from that test should be in tomorrow. If all goes well, it will show her liver function is normal, and the surgery can go as scheduled. If not, that could mean any number of things, including imminent liver failure, which is bad. We'll find out Thursday, hopefully.

It's Been Awhile....

It's been quite awhile since my last post. I'm not sure why I haven't been posting the way I used to. Mostly, I guess, it's just that nothing worth posting is happening. And I don't believe in posting just for the sake of posting. But today I have fun stories from this weekend to share!
Saturday I went to Woody's Halloween party at his new place just outside of town. He had his two children that weekend, and lots of peeps brought theirs as well. Having no kids of my own, I brought Colby, who could almost be considered my own kid. Sort of, except I can't claim him on my taxes, ha ha. Anyway, there were lots of people there (almost more than I like - I've found I'm just not much of a large crowd person. More than three people and I start to get uncomfortable, ha ha). Anyway, Woody had invited an internet friend named Gloria up from Lewisville. Right after Colby and I showed up, Woody started the bonfire. The smoke blew right at my car, and then Gloria's, parked right next to mine. Colby moved my car, but in the process he blocked Gloria's. She asked him to move my car so she could move hers. Colby did so, and Gloria snapped up her three year old son, hopped in the car, and drove off. Yeah, she just left. Someone jokingly asked if maybe she missed the turnaround (it might have been me ;) ). Woody called her but she didn't answer. The bad thing is that she left right after I showed up - perhaps I ran her off?
Later on, Woody's little girl Charity (she's 3 I believe) was changing everyone's name to someone else. Charity's name was Tina. Tina was Charity. Colby was Jim, and Jim, Colby. I asked Charity what my name was. "Daddy!" she replied. Everyone got a good laugh from that, and I couldn't resist asking her, "Charity, who's your daddy?". To which she replied, "You are!!"
Woody looked up from grilling the hot dogs and mentioned I owed him child support now. Another round of laughs. Apparently, I am one of those people that spread cheer and laughter wherever I go. They even tell me at work, when I'm gone on vacation, it's so boring, nobody talks or laughs or anything, all they do is work. That's what Mallory told me once - they get more work done if I'm not there! I think she was being facetious, but I don't know....

This weekend is Pumpkin Fest 2007 - and I have to work at Back In Time. So does Colby, but he'll get paid. I'm family, so for Dad and I, it's slave labor. Oh well.

There, an honest-to-goodness post!
