I hate to be a whiner, but I've had better days

Saw the vet today. King's bloodwork came back golden, which means the ulcer wasn't bleeding. A good thing. The possible bad news is that he may tend toward ulcers for the rest of his life. Mickey, who has a history of elevated liver enzymes, will need to take a supplement for the rest of his doggy life. So two dogs, two chronic health issues. Hello Monday--pass the ketchup.

"King doesn't like change," the vet told me. I never thought this would happen.

Is there a pony in this anywhere? Maybe it's that the spur that drives one forward can sometimes take a form one doesn't expect.

Something needs to change. That is all.
