Creature Double Feature

First of all, I want you all to know we still have YC. Due to a dearth of activity on his part, unless you count Guitar Hero, Rock Band or Halo as activity, he's been under the radar. He even managed not to fall through the ice at my parent's lake over break (the same could not be said for EC.I wish I had something entertaining to share about him but that would also mean he probably was hurt in some way. That would not be good, so we'll keep him around precisely because he is low key. It gives me enough energy to deal with the wild bunch I usually write about! Be assured however, that the minute he does something blog worthy you all will know about it.

Meanwhile, my latest issue is that the dogs are sick. Of course they are not sick enough to just lay there and stay out of trouble, that would be helpful. It started with Kody. He pretty much sounds like like he's trying to hock up a chicken with the feathers still on it-no measley chicken bone hack for him. This is particularly delightful while he's on the couch next to you or under the table during dinner(he's learned it's a veritable Smorgasbord under YC and the Husband). Then big dog started. Now, they haven't lost one bit of appetite (good for hiding pills) or energy,they just sound like 4 pack a day smokers every time they move anywhere. The middle of the night sounds like a TB ward. Poor YC is afraid because big dog is 9 that he might die (he's such a sweet boy) so he checks on him constantly. He even went downstairs last night because he thought Erie was in trouble(The Husband and I were debating on which one of us would get up-it kept coming up neither!) and he was going to save him. It turned out to be little dog and he was promptly escorted to YC's bed to spend a quiet night-much to everyone's delight,especially Kody's.
It's been a couple of days since I started this post(I know, but dude I don't always live my life purely for the amusement of you people!) and the dogs are getting much better. Now they only sound like they need life support when they are excited-mostly at feeding time. This is a good thing because they don't even notice the big two-tone green pill I stick in the middle of their meal. Considering Erie's favorite all you can eat dessert buffet is the cat pans-0h, I know it's digusting it's not like I'm purposely feeding it to him-Big Dog is very sneaky- you would assume he wouldn't notice a measly pill, but you never know. Now as long as the cats don't start hacking ,because we all know that CATS + PILLS = F-U-N , things may actually return to"normal" around here.
Whatever that is!
