Suz’s Ramblings…

I have a coworker who is going to be finishing her bacelor’s degree this semester. She started out as a Student Assistant, took advantage of the learning opportunities presented to her while working at the lab, and she’s now a Chemist.
Another of my coworkers who currently has an associate’s degree has decided to go [...]

So, we went and picked up Skipper yesterday afternoon.   His vet show us all of the x-rays that he took; a couple of the hip, a close up of the knee, and a shot that included his spine.  The last x-ray was to ensure that there wasn’t a bone spur or something like a bone [...]

Last week I took Skipper to a different vet regarding the knee thing. It’s not that I doubt there’s a problem, I just want to make sure that it’s taken care of properly, and preferably affordable as well. The vet we took him to said that yes his knee cap is loose, but [...]

I think that it was shortly before we [...]

Is this a result of too much TV, too much fast food, a combination of both, or something far worse?
Either way, I’ll definately be keeping this in mind when I have my own kids.

Well, as far as I can tell with out looking too closely, I’ve yet to mention that Skipper needs to have his right knee fixed.  It seems that he’s got a common small breed ailment.   The groove in which his knee cap sits is too shallow.  This results in his knee dislocating as he walks.  [...]

So, I’m really having fun posting about my house. Almost as much fun as I’m having with the painting and interior decorating. And I don’t mean that sarcastically either!
The ceiling fan that we ordered for our bedroom arrived about two weeks ago now, and we had it installed last weekend. It’s enormous! [...]
