Weekend Update

Friday - Rex accidentally scratches Mags near her eye. It is bloody. You wouldn't think that would bother me, but I don't do dogs and I don't do eyes. Therefore, I freak. Chris is doing his evening rounds at the hospital so I call him. Next thing you know, I'm driving like a crazy woman to get Mags to the ER. Yes, the human ER. Keep in mind that Maggie is acting perfectly normal this whole time. She is excited to be going with me. Chris puts on his gloves (luckily, Mags doesn't have a latex allergy) and examines her eye, cleaning it with gauze. He decides there is no need to call a specialist and Maggie and I go home. Chris doesn't charge us for the visit ;)
Saturday - Chris is on call and comes down with a cough/sinus thingy. He relaxes at home while I travel the hour to Walmart. Rex needs bowls and a bed. Think we're all set in the pet department for a while.
Sunday - Chris is feeling better. We decide to take down the enormous satellite dish posing as a lawn ornament. Many of you know how I feel about lawn ornaments. After smashing my big toe and almost decapitating Maggie, we get the dish down. Unfortunately, the post is buried 4 feet underground in concrete. A shovel, a big chain, and the King Ranch are not enough. . .it's still in the ground. After all that work, Chris is not feeling well again.
