You are all cordially invited to follow my journey from my current state of fat-sloth to running/walking a half marathon in March 2011...I've created a new blog on WordPress specifically for this:

Thirteen Miles

I am not down for the count! I have taken photos...they are on my camera...just need some time to get them off the camera onto the computer and up online. Tomorrow - I hope.

Moo's knee just doesn't seem to be healing right. She was doing so well after her surgery...right up until the kennel. I am having such huge guilt about not just staying home with her.

I found a nice link with good info about different chocolates and their toxicity to a normal dog (meaning the dog isn't especially sensitive to the compound in chocolate):

My Dog Ate Chocolate

I found this because Moo decided to grab the remnants of my peanut M&M's that I had here on my desk. I am so out of it with this darn cold that I forgot to ( Read more... )
