ScooterBingBong

Dad's going home today, Mom headed into the hospital yesterday afternoon.

I had a bizarre vision of them both being in the same hospital at the same time and the sight of each other giving them a heart attack and stroke respectively.

Not to worry. Different hospitals.

Spent election night with friends eating pizza, drinking wine and booing at the television. It's becoming an electoral tradition. In my riding, Olivia Chow squeeked past the incumbent. As my friend Christy said last night, it's the first time someone I've voted for has actually won!

We brought Mr. Scooter Bing Bong to the election party, he was to be the designated "cheer-er upper". Dogs and elections go hand in paw. On the way over, Mr. Bing Bong caught a dew claw on something, and busted it but good. He didn't even notice, he was too busy peeing on everything in sight. We got to the Bates-Bruce Manor, and went right to work with their first aid kit bandaging up the paw and debating if it warranted a trip to the emergency clinic. He didn't seem to mind, so we stayed, and booed at the tv. Frankly, I didn't have the heart to have 3 loved ones in the hospital at the same time!

He got to see the vet this morning, they did a bang up job patching him up, and he's as good as new with a bright blue bandage on his foot. Crazy monkey. The clinic is doing something new. They took Scooter's photo when we got there, and when they printed up my bill, his picture was on it. Neat! Great idea, actually.

I'm done with drama for a while, though. Actually, no I'm not. Still waiting to hear mom's test results. THEN I'm done with drama for a while.

Oh wait. I have to call the lady from the Brick back, too. After that, and news from mom, THEN done with drama...
