<p class=MsoNormal>It’s me again – Norm!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Things have been perkin’ along here since the dog
show. I was sore for a day or too and Mom was all worried. But Dr.
Bob said that it was okay – and CBL also told Mom that she is sore after
a weekend of dog shows too! Opie is all better too – he had a
pulled muscle from playing too hard with Ouija, his sister. So, all of us
houndies are doing GOOD! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>But Mom – that is another story. On Tuesday
morning she started acting funny – she didn’t eat her breakfast and
she was moping around. She kept visiting the bathroom over and over again
but that is TMI! Do these symptoms sound familiar??? Mom said she
had a kidney stone. And she told ME not to eat rocks! I told her
she needed to go visit Dr. Katie and get a zipper put in but she said NO!
Then she started drinking this red cranberry juice – LOTS of red
cranberry juice. While she was making her 423523 nickzillion trip to the
pee-room, Grady drank her juice and spilled some too! Grrrrr –
Mom was not in the mood for that! All day Tuesday – all night
Tuesday night – all day Wednesday – all night Wednesday night
– cranberry juice, water, pee-room, cranberry juice, water, pee-room.
Geeeezzzz – she kept me up all night! Finally, on
Thursday Mom said she washed the rock out of her! I still think a zipper
would have been easier and we all could have gotten some sleep! <o:p></o:p></p>
