My dog is really sick. I took her to the country vet this afternoon. Her breathing is labored and she’s not eating. I will be taking her back there first thing tomorrow morning so they can figure out specifically what is wrong and run some more tests. She is old — 13 or so; I don’t know specifically because we got her from a lab rescue. But she’s been a member of our family for so long — longer than 2 of our 3 kids. I just kinda puts a damper on the weekend.

On a different note, a got a cross-post from Lt Col Patrick over at Duty In The Desert for my post yesterday on the “Person of the Week”. Go over and check out his site — not because he cross posted to me, but because he has an interesting and varied blog with a consistent pace of posting. Plus, he just came back from serving in Iraq and we owe him our thanks.

Thanks for the link, Lt Col Patrick. Enjoy your weekend.
