Full Moonness?
What an odd day.
J called! I havent talked to J in ... uh ... two years? Since he never replies to my emails ... but that's ok, I keep writing him anyway cuz I know he loves me ... d;)
Talked to Kelli on the phone, too. Have I mentioned that she is the coolest 16 year old that I know? Alan and I are taking her out to dinner and to a movie ('Pulse', I think) tomorrow night for getting the highest score in her class at summer school, and passing with flying colors.
Willow went to the vet this morning, for her usual blood tests. It was like family reunion day ... it's starting to get REALLY sad. I know people. The nice oriental (that's probably not PC, is it?) lady who has the golden retriever, Toby, that has the same platelet problem as Willow, was there .... we compared notes since the last time we'd talked. Sorin - a Dutch Shepherd that I'd had in an Agility Class last year, came in. There was another white shepherd there ... he was there to donate blood. A Lillington policeman brought his german shepherd/police dog in ... the dog was 6, and they'd worked together for 4 years... the dog has cancer. There were three or four boxers ... there are always boxers. Every time I'm in the waiting room, there are always boxers with misc. health probs.
But it was so ... sad? ... that I recognized people and their dogs, could catch up on lives ... it's just not exactly the IDEAL place to hang out.
And I ate Ice Cream.

No it's good that you got to catch up! All the visiting helps distract everyone from the reasons why they were there. Shows you hope that there are lots of other families where their "pets" are family too. Focus on the positive here. :)
