We decided a Mexican brunch needed to be eaten, so we invited the Pumpkin over. She asked Joy to redress her wound from surgery. It's always nice when it's your best friend who saves your life. This according to the doctor. Now Pumpkin owes Joy the last bite of cheeseburger...whatever that means; though, knowing Joy, it's probably quite literal. She does enjoy a good cheeseburger.
Meredith, ever so persistent, gratefully persistent, asked me to go walking with her and Nico and to bring Gaby along, of course. So I went. I had to. It's been months since I've done any exercising outside of Christmas shopping. It was nice. I bought some Pumas that were on sale for $10 on amazon and they fit wonderfully. We went to the dog park first. Gaby chased a small pug mix back and forth. It was funny. She's in a pen full of dogs to play with, but she always just wants to run with the smaller dogs in the next pen. After that we went walking around the park, and I noticed that there was a spot on Gaby's side that wasn't laying quite right but I thought it was just fluffed up from playing with the dogs. When we got back to the car, I took a closer look and saw she had this 1" wound on her side. Meredith and I surmised that she must have caught her fur on the fence and ripped off her skin.
Joy went to get some first aid supplies and we dressed her wound. Gaby is truly an awesome dog. She let us do all the dressing without complaining, and now she's walking around with bandages all the way around her middle and not messing with it at all. Very impressive. And, no, there are no pictures. I mean, do you really want to see a gaping wound? Ew.
Later Joy and I sat and watched Sherlock. It was an episode we had seen before but liked very much so we watched it again. It was the one about The Woman. In the episode Sherlock tells his brother that she can be followed on Twitter and gives her handle, and it turns out she really does have a Twitter profile. How fun.
I really do need to sit and read Sherlock. Heck, maybe I'll get it on audiobook and listen to it in the car or while working out since my commute isn't that bad.
Tonight we had a visit from Sandra who said her family is really going to buy the land. The house should be built by next year, so it looks like we will be losing Sandra to Mexico in 2015. Sad face.
