Gosh, what a night.
Our dog Hamish was ill yesterday; very, very ill indeed. He started off being just depressed, quiet, off his food, generally unwell all through the day and we had to keep a constant eye on him. He has underlying digestive and thyroid conditions anyway and we wondered if the change in diet was upsetting him but then - I can't bring myself to go into details because living though it once was bad enough but we really thought he was dying and, at one point (when he crept off and we found him lying in the lane in the pitch dark-sheeting rain), dead.
The vet thinks he's eaten something, possibly carion, that's poisoned him - £75 worth of injections later, he definitely seems on the mend (though still quiet and very sorry for himself).
Anyway, that took most of yesterday and into the night, then Dad was up all night with the TV on full blast, some drunk attempted to call us from a mobile at 4am and...
Tired today, very - but relieved.
It's a gorgeous day. I should go for a walk, really. ::continues to stare out of window, mouth open, slight drool::

Oh babe - what a crappy time you've had - and poor wee Hamish. I hope he's tons better soon, poor lad, and that you all get a good night's rest tonight.
::sends positive thoughts, gentle hugs and strong booze::
Oh bless you!
::thinks:: Hoovering + booze = ???
But no.
*Why is it still Hoovering when it's a Dyson? But then Dysoning doesn't sound right at all. nonono.
Re: Oh bless you!
Hoovering + strong booze = far less painful housework *hg*

LOL - my father (editor and writer) would have insisted that as Hoover was a brand name, you couldn't be calling the sucking 'Hoovering', therefore it had to be vacuuming. *headdesk*

Re: Oh bless you!
A pox on all pedants.
That was always my feeling *g* Oi - put that Frenchman down - it's not safe to do that when you're vacuuming/hoovering/dysoning. *g*
