Problematic Wednesday

Goodness gracious folks! Have we got problems... Poor Daddy! Poor Aunt Rona!

Daddy has to have a tooth pulled. Yuck! After his visit to his Vet, er... I mean Dentist yesterday, he found out that his wisdom tooth needs to come out. Now, this tooth is already in his mouth Mommy said. It's not hiding away like a lot of them do. And it is broken in half. Daddy didn't know this as it's so far back that he can't really feel it he said. Mommy is going to scramble around today to find a surgeon to pull it out for him. Problem is this... (a) it has to come out before he retires on the 31. (b) We have the holiday's sitting right on top of us and alot of offices are closing down because of them. (c) We will have NO dental insurance next year hence the emergency in getting it done. (d) He really only has 4 days that it can be done. (His retirement luncheon is next Wednesday so we have to count that day out.) I'm sure if Mommy can find a surgeon to do it for him, his boss won't be happy!  Guess 'cause he's retiring next week, he really shouldn't care! So put your paws together everyone and pray Mommy can find someone to help Daddy. Does having your wisdom tooth removed mean Daddy is gonna become less smart??

And now on to my Auntie Rona... Talk about cruddy news! She gotta have spinal surgery!!! Double Yuck! Aunt Rona, I feel so bad for you. You're gonna have to go in your crate afterwards and you ain't gonna like it one bit! You know it's the best thing and we have to keep you safe. Auntie is a nurse and has been out of work for a month because of her pain. So Mr. Surgeon is gonna fix the crack in her back for her. Something about a fracture and taking out some disc's. Auntie Rona H-A-T-E-S doctors as much as I do!! (Maybe even a little more.) So when I see her today I'm gonna tell her what my Mommy told me when I hurt my disc's, "be brave little soldier!" So next Wednesday they are gonna fix her up as good as new. I'm gonna offer to lend her my new crate. (Gosh knows I don't even like looking at the dang thing and it's still sitting in the living room). Mommy feels horrible about all of this. 'Specially since we are leaving town the following week and will be gone for like months and months. But thank goodness we have Aunt Pat here to help her out. Oh, did I mention the good news? We get to have doxie Freeda come stay with us for a few days while Auntie is in the hospital. That's the ONLY good thing out of all of this!! We love Freeda and she loves us too!

So you see, life right now is a little crazy around here. Mommy's gonna try and do the best for everyone at the moment. She's really got a lot to do. Between Christmas, New Years, getting us all ready to go to Florida for the winter, blah, blah, blah, what's a few more things added to her list......
