April is Here

Since I ate too many M&Ms and am wide awake from sugar (Thanks Lorre!), I thought I'd fill you in with what is going on here.  Well, first off, it's hard to believe it is now April.  It is starting to feel like spring, which is really nice after the harsh English winter.  Equally nice is the fact that Joe should be home in a few weeks.  I am really hoping for the week after Easter, but I am not getting my hopes too high.  Regardless, he will be home sooner than later and that is Good News!

On a less happier front, Ben has been under the weather this week.  I have taken him to the doctor twice, with zero results.  He had a low grade fever, but when it shot up to 102.7 I got worried.  It has since come down so no worries there.  However, he is still fussy and appears to be in pain.  I think it is his teeth.  He had two coming in as of last week.  One is definitely through now, but that second one has been just poking through for a while.  Maybe tomorrow morning will bring a happier boy and a shiny new tooth.  They do seem to appear overnight.

And lastly, Bastian had a little accident today.  I let him go ahead of me since it is hard to push the stroller and hold onto him at the same time.  He ran out onto the busy street and got nicked by a car coming to the red light.  The vet thinks he should be okay, but they are holding him overnight to be sure.   

APRIL FOOLS!!  Bastian is just fine, though he really did run off the other day.  I had no clue where he was until I saw him trotting down St Mary's Street, the busy road by our house.  He is a VERY lucky dog.
