Don’t be a monkey.


I woke up around 3 this morning to the terrifying sound of Henry reverse sneezing in the middle of the kitchen floor. Medically, it is a condition where the c-shaped rings that maintain the form of the trachea are stressed thus making air passage to the lungs difficult. Many small breeds of dogs are susceptible to this as adolescents and throughout life if exerted or overly excited. I'm not sure what he was doing in the middle of the night to get him so worked up, but my guess was him trying to put some nasty moves on Éclair. He's a horny little guy sometimes... ah, but then again, aren't we all? It usually only takes a moment to correct the condition by blocking air to the nostrils to force a swallow. This reshapes the trachea immediately and restores airflow. I picked him up and took him out back for some fresh air before we went back to bed for the night. Today's workday was a blur and I'm glad it's over given my working longer hours than normal this week. I'm going to make myself a cocktail and relax. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I'll be spending mine alone.

I love this picture.  Very symbolic, if you ask me, whether you meant it to be or not.  What’s the other half that you don’t show, Clayton?

btw glad Henry’s ok.

Gorgeous photo. You shouldn’t spend it alone. Go listen to some music. Be alone with people at least. I don’t know why - just seems like good advice.
