Even though the kids have been gone all week with W, it has been a busy one for me with work and meetings. And it helps that I had the dogs to keep me company. Knowing that I was taking them to the vet for boarding this weekend, I made sure to have steak for dinner last night.
After delivering the dogs a couple of hours ago, I just got a phone call from the vet. Although both dogs have tartar buildup, the older one's is pretty severe so the vet called to get my OK for them to clean her teeth on Monday. Between the cleaning, anesthesia and bloodwork, that will set me back about $400 on top of the boarding fees. But I knew it would have to be done eventually so I just have to bite the bullet...
Most of my packing for my weekend excursion is complete (leaving early Saturday morning and getting back to the house very late Sunday night). So it's time to kick back and relax knowing that it will get very hectic tomorrow evening and into Sunday afternoon.
I did get an e-mail from W saying that she and the kids were having a good time. I didn't feel like responding although I am glad they are enjoying the time away. I did call D the night before and left a message but I guess cell phone coverage is hit and miss where they are staying. That's OK - I will try again tomorrow while all of us are on the road (them returning to W's house while I am going north).
