Shameless plugging of one's blog pays off - 144 views. I remember back when I was at 2 or 3 and those were me!

L's Christmas present showed up in time. I was beginning to worry. It was bigger than I thought but I hope she likes it.

Poor Pixie. She was most exuberant once out of her kennel. Bouncing between three and four feet in the air. Take them out and pitiful thing has the dinnarinas. At the vet she needed to go again. I brought it with and made the mistake of mentioning the big D. It seemed that this became the focus and mention of giarrdia (?sp). She can't drink out of the frozen pond!! You think it might have to do with recent antibiotics. She did not like seeing the white coat and piddled on the exam table again. I work at keeping up beat but she wants nothing to do with that, she wants out of there. They took her in the back to examine her anal gland. She was very happy to get away from them when brought back into the room. The vet talked about the different antibiotic - something that starts with an M and is very bitter. Great, she gets one taste of that and I will never get her to eat it no matter what I put it in. Sometimes it takes a couple rounds of antibiotics to clear up the gland and this med will help with the D. I think I should have been charged for a follow up of the follow up and they treated this as something new so I got charged the full office visit. Never should have mentioned the big D.

Pix had rice for dinner and pill disguised in the mash potato treat. Heh, heh, heh.

I broke down and bought another pair of fat pants. I can't stand the discomfort any more. Because I went out and about, I didn't ride the bike or do any exercises - drat, drat and double drat!

Can I please ride tomorrow? There is snow in the forecast again. If the roads are too bad, meaning the idiots are too bad, I will try out my trekking poles with my snow shoes. That would be quite the workout. What doesn't kill you strengthens you.

Oh, banner day! I got a $50 gift card. I bought The Dark Knight and low and behold it has a digital copy that works on the Mac. I have my first movie on my iPod. Will have to look at how much space I have left. Wow! I still have 39.9 GB. I have now reached 4,555 songs, 35 videos and 173 photos. Most of the vids are free ones from iTunes. I need to cull out the bad and keep the good.
