Just got back from the emergency vet [View all]

I thought Coco was having a stroke, she was panting heavily and kept falling down, couldn't walk straight. Turns out it was an inner ear infection. $185. Damn.

Thankfully, she will be okay. I thought my heart would break watching her.

Gee, I haven't been up this late since 2006.

Other good news: I found out today that my grandbaby is going to be a girl - due next May. My son is worrying because he thinks it's harder being a girl in this society. I don't necessarily agree, but it's sweet he's already taking care of her in his head.

'nite all.
