Another Trip to the Vet

We thought our Friday night was going to consist of cheering the Blackhawks on in their final home pre-season game. But Boomer had other plans. The dogs were finishing up their dinners and I was on the computer when I heard Boo making his infamous attempts at jumping up to try to get food off of the counter. And then before I could go shoo him away, he yelped out in pain and then ran at me using only 3 legs. When we got to the vet they found no broken legs, just some tissue damage around his knee. They told us he was a perfect candidate for laser treatment (we're thinking $$$$), but if that means he'll be fine and no medication will be required, sure why not? So Boomer got his first (and hopefully last) laser treatment while Rob tried to talk the nurse into using it a little on his own ankle. And the good news is that Boo is back to himself and it only cost $45 (plus $66 for the ER office visit)!!!

Hopefully that'll be the last Vet trip for while....

Nebraska, Virginia & Wrigley!

Rob & I took Boo & Budd to Nebraska for Labor Day to visit Bob & Donna. We left Friday after work and made pretty decent time as we were there by 2:00 am! It was a nice and relaxing weekend with the highlights being 18 holes of golf (36 for Bob & Rob), Husker football and my first trip to the casino! The dogs decided it was more fun to travel if they were closer together....

Last weekend we flew out to Fairfax, Virginia to attend my friend Sarah's wedding. Rob doesn't have much vacation time, so we left Saturday morning and were back home just over 24 hours later. Sarah and Sean threw a great party and we had a fantastic time spending time with my girls from George Mason! It made us want to jet-set to the East Coast more often....

The Girls

We've been trying to get out and do more "Chicago" stuff lately so yesterday we did a tour of the Friendly Confines. We got to see the press box, home and away clubhouses & dugouts, go out on the field, and some other areas of Wrigley that we'd never been before. Even though the Cubbies haven't been doing the best for the last few months, it was a great experience. There's always next year....
