isn’t he the cutest?

Finally got a Kindle for my 40th and I’m completely addicted. I love waking up to the New York Times every morning.

Sometimes I can be pretty dumb. Case in point: the card reader I was missing all this time, that made me unable to download my camera? Was plugged into the back of my computer the whole time. Doh!

Here are a couple of pictures of my awesome boat dog during last week’s racing:

this is us, down below in the tiny race boat. Not a lot of room down there, but enough. People actually take these little 24′ boats on Pacific Cup, a San Francisco to Hawaii race. I cannot imagine doing that myself.

when he’s up top, he likes to spend his time inside of a coat. Usually it’s Elliott’s coat, but in between races it was mine a few times.

The spinnaker run back to the harbor after the last race finished. This regatta had almost 100 boats participating, so it was truly gorgeous viewing.

Anyhow, today we are celebrating my middle daughter’s boyfriend’s birthday, so I’m off to cook dinner, bake cake, etc.etc. Maybe more pictures tomorrow.. I had a few hundred to go through. Oh, and I guess I did jinx myself with that whole posting 2 a day vow, eh?

one sick puppy

I think that title is the first time I’ve used the phrase “one sick puppy” for an ACTUAL sick puppy. My doggie was sick, and last night we were at the emergency vet until after midnight. His white blood cell count was high, he spiked a fever, was lethargic and overall just not acting like a puppy. We already knew he had an infection, we took him to the regular vet last week. We got a doctor we’d never seen before (we’ve been going to this vet for years) who prescribed an oral antibiotic that he kept puking up. We found out last night it was one that shouldn’t be given to puppies, hence the problem.

At any rate, my day is starting out a bit slower. I was exhausted by the time we got home, hadn’t gotten a chance to have dinner, overslept this morning. The good part is doggie is WAY better today. His fever is gone, he’s got a bit of perk in his step again, and while he’s not his usual tasmanian-devil self, he’s definitely on the mend.

Very much looking forward to a tiny sailing getaway over the 4th of July weekend. We all need it.
