Sunday morning

Dragged out of bed at about quarter to eight. By quarter to nine, I had a load of laundry in the dryer *and* had wrestled an old recliner to the curb for tomorrow's trash pick-up.

( boring furniture talk )

On the book front, I have once more managed to paint myself in a truly boggling corner. Not plotwise, she said fingers crossed, but timewise. Production over the next two weeks needs to be pretty productive. Thanksgiving will be a working weekend.

Yup, she did it again.

Eyes

I check The Daily Puppy every day. As can be assumed from the name, they feature puppies, but they also have a Grown-up Puppies page featuring older dogs.

Today's grown-up pup is Pearson the Cocker Spaniel. I fixed on the second photo, which shows him chewing on a stick, and stopped. That has got to be the most human-like expression I have ever seen on a dog. He looks like he should team up with Yoda.

Walking wounded

Or in this case, bouncing around the living room like a piece of popcorn wounded.

Gaby has a nasty little wound just below her left eye. The only thing I can figure is that she and King were playing tug o' war, and King swatted her face with his paw. He used to do that with Mickey as well--if you were within a leg's distance, feet were allowed. I started hiding the tug toys after I saw him drag his paw down Mickey's face within an inch of his eye.

I cleaned the wound, which is only about half the size of my pinky nail but is still alarming because it's *red*. Lost a teeny patch of skin there, we did. Gaby's eye seems fine. No tearing, and she's not pawing at it or anything. And as I said before, popcorn.

Sunday evening already. Well, late afternoon, but dusky so it feels later. Garbage is out on the curb. Dinner--year-old back of the freezer chicken stew with Kashi whole grain pilaf and carrots--has been et. I really wish tomorrow wasn't Monday already.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is on tonight. I may miss it, but one assumes it will be repeated at least once before 25 December.
