Boots was not amused

Yesterday, some friends came over in the afternoon and brought along their 9-week-old Bichon Frise puppy, who weights maybe three or four pounds. She was in a large carrier. Mostly she stayed in her carrier, but she was out to be cuddled a bit.

Boots stayed in the living room the whole time the puppy was here. Usually, he goes back and forth to the bedroom. Not this time. He never took his eyes off the puppy, or the carrier when she was in it.

I've often said to Mary Ann that we should get Callie together with Boots. Callie is a Llaso Apso. Now I'm having second thoughts, although I still think it would be a riot. An actual riot and a riot of fun.

Boots Holds Down The Fort

Lately, Boots has been taking his after-food snoozes underneath the end table that has the CD player and CD's on it. It's right by the front door. Have no idea why he's decided to switch from the bed to the door. He still wanders into the bedroom once or twice during the night. Then switches from one side to the other so I'm facing him whenever I turn over. During the day, he holds down the fort whileI'm gone. When he sleeps by the door, he can always be right there when I get back.

Katie has her drivers license and a 1992 Chevy Blazer, that looks to be in good condition. Now she has to work to pay for gas. She's working for her dad some and also has worked for a friend of Jessica's. Mainly, she just wants some freedom now. In California, she can't have other teenagers with her in the car unless there's also an adult. Seems like a good idea. She's also learning how to drive the Ford F150 while pulling the horse trailer. Quite a feat for a new driver.

Good news

Wednesday, Dr. McKone was very, very positive that I will not have a reoccurrence of breast cancer. He is a radiation oncologist. Radiation burns have healed nicely, but still need moisturizer. This is such a relief. The comment came about when I was telling him what Dr. Bate had said about not taking Tamoxifen as it wouldn't do much to decrease risk and that I could take it if a reoccurrence did occur.

Have passed the word on to friends and family.

No more problems since TIA. Will ask Dr. White about switching to cumidin. Simply can't afford Plavix. These are for thinning the blood.
