Another hospital visit yesterday. This time the doctor asked me if, when the time came, I wanted local or general anaesthetic. Basically, do I want to be unconscious, or awake and watching when they cut a hole in my stomach!
Puppy News
I used to take sandwiches when I walked the husky and share them with him. After he died I switched this to taking them when I walk the puppy. Normally I carry them in my pocket, but yesterday Spring decided to turn up at last and it was, for the first time this year, warm enough to have to take a bottle of water and bowl to give the dog a drink half way through the walk. These I took in a bag, and put the sandwiches in the bag too.
Not a good idea. Carrying the bag meant it was at nose height to the puppy, he kept stopping, and sniffing the bag in a "is that leftover roast beef sandwiches I can smell in there?" way.
And when we finally stopped for a drink, I filled a bowl with water and put it down on the ground saying "Do you want a drink?" The puppy looked at the water, then poked the bag with his nose and looked at me in a look that was obviously saying "Actually I'd prefer a left over roast beef sandwich!"
