Home again

I am back in town sitting outside my favorite coffee shop enjoying my favorite beverage. I should be completely relaxed after six days of vacation but instead I am somewhat stressed. We dropped A off at the vet today for her knee operation. This is her second $3,000 surgery and it pains me to think of what else I could have spent that money on. Absent any other factors (such as my son) I am not sure whether I would have paid for the surgery.

Apparently my application to form a cadet unit has been held up largely because of the efforts of the asshole CO of my former unit. He is doing everything possible to stop the new unit and I am beginning to lose interest. I am will wait till I return from vacation in two weeks before investing any significant effort into this endeavor.

I'm always stressed after vacation and I don't even go anywhere.

Is A your dog?

Nevermind, I knew A was your lab. Too early and no coffee yet. Our beagle has a limp. I think it's arthritis. She doesn't limp when we walk but has a hard time getting up.

We leave for vacation part II a week from today. Let's hope that we get better weather.

A came home today and she is doing well. Sorry to hear about your beagle. We give A Prescription Diet K/D which has glucosamine and other good joint building ingredients. She is very energetic since we started her on that dog food.

Hello, Dirk...Sorry I haven't commented for a bit. Are you talking Lake W? I haven't been up there im years. I admire your ability to keep blogging consistently. I never had the actual time/wherewithal/inspiration to maintain mine...so I closed it up.

Glad that the vacation seems to be recharging the batteries...GaP

GaP,

Good to hear from you; sorry to hear about your blog. We go to Sebago Lake. It is much quieter than Winni.

Keep in touch! I enjoyed your well written postings.
