There are many things I should and could be doing, but I’m blogging. It’s been one of THOSE days. It was a Monday of sorts, since I unexpectedly never made it to work yesterday. I was supposed to have a dental appointment at noon, but when MJ wasn’t there at 11:15, I called to postpone, especially since Dae left for a site visit and we had an audit at 1pm. Just too much happening on one day, but despite it all, MJ has suggested I try to get a hair appointment later this week. (I need it. Badly.)
Here’s my little sick boy. 
Thanks for noting it; I am sure that being out in the leaves (blown on Saturday, not that you can tell it) isn’t a wise idea, nor is throwing the ball (he LOVES his glow in the dark balls), but obviously, you’re not familiar with Jack Russells. They do what they want, when they want, or as Pop says, “He’s like Burger King. He has to have it his way.” Note the heavy “tear” staining; it’s on both sides. Sure, some of it is indeed allergies, but there’s more. That’s why I now get to keep a cough notebook. No SNOLs. I’m serious. My kind father inlaw – Dae – has been counting coughs all day, and my blotter is filled with time, number of coughs, and what Mugsy was doing immediately prior to the event. As soon as I blog, I need to find a notebook for said purpose. If the broad-spectrum de-wormer doesn’t do the trick, I don’t know what comes next, short of the wee camera into his throat…
However, I do have a finished object, one I can actually share! 
I’m stuck on this pattern.
Details:
Pattern: Doily Style Dishcloth #2
Needles: 2x #5 circs
Yarn: Sugar ‘n Cream in Midnight Magic. This one is much prettier in person.
My next I need a break from the lace thing project is going to either be a cozy for my ice pack or a sweater for Mugsy. I live an exciting life, eh? I’m sure I’ll start whatever it is tonight, because in case you live under a rock, it’s House night! That means I slip out of my meeting early (which is okay, because I’ll be there early to collect money for our endowment) so I can be at home for the opening seconds of House!
This is also your last chance to enter my contest. I’ll be recapping the most excellent favored charities later this week too, so everyone can learn a bit and maybe find a new cause. Also, I’ll share the thought we’re “pushing” tonight at our meeting; instead of buying a little something kind of gift (like a bottle of wine or whatever) for a friend, why not make a donation in her honor? Tonight, it’ll be all about the endowment, but it’s always a great time to support a friend’s favorite cause!
Poor, poor Mugsy. My heart just broke when I saw the tear stains. I kept hoping the de-wormer was going to do the trick. That poor, dear little fellow has stolen all our hearts, you know. Give him the biggest smooch possible. I’ll keep up the prayers, and Milo sends a big lick in the face to his buddy.
Give Mugsy hugs & scratchies from our house hold! I am keeping one of those notebooks too, only mine gets entries much few and further between (and hopefully it stays that way) for Lola’s seizures…. I’ll have to email ya about it. Nothing major… at least not yet. :/
Hugs and belly rubs to your dear Mugsy! You’re in my thoughts!

Thinking of you guys, and still feeling like Mugsy will be well.
Good thoughts continue for Mugsy. Enjoy your lace break!
Continuing to send healing vibes Mugsy’s way. I know what you mean about the journal – I have been known to keep a “bowel journal” and a “vomit journal” for my fur-babes at various times. Fur-moms understand!
Poor Mugsy; I really hope the de-wormer does the trick!
He would look so cute in a knitted sweater
Hey there…
Counting coughs… sadness… I hope mugsy is well again soon… love the knits… the lace looks pretty, and dont’ take this the wrong way, but the colorway and the way it swirls looks like a spiders web.. it’s really cool!
