And Jim was sleeping soundly. That’s right, Roxie and I had quite the night. I ended up having to rush her to the vet this morning. She’s okay now, but a little out of it: The sedation is still wearing off. By the end of this post you can trust that you will be wondering why in the world I would write about this; in fact, I was wondering that myself as I was trying to think of a clever, interest-provoking title. But part of the reason people blog is to document the “ordinary”, and part of the reason people read blogs is to learn about what other people spend…

Congratulations Uno!!! Arroooooooo!!
If you’re joining us from Manic Mommy’s blog, welcome! The post you’re here specifically to read is the next one down (but you’re welcome to sit a spell…). I just HAD to put this up today, since the beagle is my breed! Many congratulations to Uno (formal name: K-Run’s Park Me in First) and Aaron Wilkerson, his handler, on the first-ever beagle win at the Westminster Kennel Club’s Dog Show. Roxie says, “Hey Hot Stuff, congratulations. Wanna spend some time with a saucy Suburban little Beagle Lady, who’s sweet on the outside but sinful on the inside? Call me!”
