Mom and Dad drove up yesterday and spent the night with us before flying to France today. Total whirlwind. They got here midafternoon, I came home from work, we hung out until John came home, we went to dinner, we went to bed. We got up, we got ready, and I drove them to the airport and they left. And they met Colin when Will and Christina came over. Maybe 16 hours, total? It was a little crazy. Fun, of course, but I’m tired. 🙂 When they come back, we’ll have three or four days, so maybe we can slow it down a little.
Oh yeah – Roxy had a seizure last night, too. Mom and Dad slept through it, but John and I got up to help her out. We slid a pillow under her head to keep her from cracking any more teeth. Seemed to be effective. She’s okay now. It’s like clockwork – we pick her up from the kennel and she has a seizure within three days. We picked her up Sunday evening, so Tuesday night (late) was right on time. I don’t know if it’s because they mess up the timing of her doses (we know they do that for sure) or if the kennel is just stressful for her, but this happens every time.
One last thing – I haven’t seen a goose near my office since I started carrying the camera to work. I did, however, see the cutest video about a duckling rescue in Washington state. Check it out.

I saw that duckling video a couple days ago! It’s so cute. For the second year in a row we have a duck nesting in our office parking lot and we have to figure out what to do with her ducklings once they’ve hatched. Last year animal control came and got them when the National Association of Broadcasters folks protested having ducks in their fountain. I don’t think the poor things made it 🙁

Poor babies. And why can’t the ducklings hang out in the fountain?

I know! I think they should be allowed to! The NAB apparently disagrees.
