I would like to report that Zada is doing wonderfully after her spay/microchip yesterday. She was a bit sleepy last night, and since they didn't want her to have a lot of water/food, she was pretty hungry today, too.
A breakthrough has been made with her medications - of course now that she's near the end of the course and there's only 1 left - I threw her antibiotic in with her food tonight, and in her utter haste to wolf down her food, she either chewed it hastily with the other kibble or it went right down. Jackpot!
She has pain pills for her spay, but they're "chewy" and "liver-flavored" so I give them to her as treats.
Here's what we learned up at the Bernier Ranch & Spa this past weekend:
The famous command is "On your bed!" and she's pretty good with it. (Yes, Mom, she does use the bed you gave her for Christmas :) Doesn't always want to stay there if I leave the room, but for a not-quite-5-month-old pup, she's VERY obedient! Also, especially now that she's got sutures and a healing scar, she's not supposed to interact with Mack (the roomie's dog) so whenever they come downstairs, she has to keep laying down, even if Mack comes over to sniff and want to play. She's very animatedly laying down, but she stays down! Very good girl.
Well, that's about it for today, seeing as how Parker's steaks are almost done and it's time for a glass of wine. We're going to be watching a couple of episodes of The Wire, which I got him for his birthday. He's very excited that I'm going to 'get hooked' on this show. I just don't see how something can replace Sex and the City, which, even tho' it's no longer on TV, is still my favorite show ever! Hmmm...a close rival would be The X Files, but I didn't like it when Mulder left.
Ok, that's major digressing...plus I've been informed I need to 'wrap it up,' because the steaks are done. (Hey, he's cooking, he can totally call the shots!)
Hasta la later - -- - OH, and speaking of hasta, one week from today I'm going to be FREAKING OUT because I'm leaving for Puerto Vallarta! Not 'til Friday the 9th, but I'll let myself get out-of-control excited next Wednesday.

hello Sarah,
I found your name and address in Merryfield in my old old papers recently (when tidying my home)
I stayed at your parents years ago when I was 17 (now I turned 30) during the summer. I was spending 2 weeks with your cousins.
As you may guess from me writing, I’m not American but French.
Do you remember me staying at yours? You taught me how to cook cookies and I cooked French food. I have very good souvenirs of me staying at yours. what a georgeous place to live in!
In France, I used to live up north with my mom and sister. Now for 10 years I’ve been living in Paris. I’m a History teacher. I married 7 years ago. I have 2 children Antoine is 4 and Héloïse is 2. And i’m expecting a baby for february.
Live goes fast!!
Best wishes for this new year to you and family,
Nathalie RENAULT
