poopie puppy

So, if you were ever wondering how to give a dog Pepto, try this:



Yes, I realize this looks disgusting, but ... whatever works! My poor puppy has had runny poop (some was downright watery) for a week now. The vet recommended Pepto. If you want to see something funny, just put a little dab of Pepto on your finger and let your dog lick it. The face they make trying to get that crap out of their mouths is hilarious! Anyway, since we really needed our poor puppy to drink the Pepto, Alpine suggested mixing it in rice. She loves rice. I usually make it with chicken broth if she's got an upset belly. She smelled the rice and was really looking forward to eating it... what an unpleasant surprise she got! hahaha... I think her love for rice overcame her distaste for Pepto, since she got most of this awful-looking pink nightmare down. The verdict is still out on the poop, but we successfully got two doses in her!

anniversaries

The first will probably be the worst... but Virginia Tech will be surrounded by an entire nation tomorrow.


destruction

Friday as I finished up lunch and got ready to head back to work, the sirens came on and this is what I saw (this was the tail end of it... you can hear the siren wind down). It isn't as dramatic as the swirling I first saw when I looked outside, but it's still swirling:



There were 4 confirmed tornadoes in our county that day within about 10 minutes of each other... and not far from our house! This first picture was taken just over the hill from my house, where the video was taken. It was one of the two F-1s... the last two pictures were taken in areas where two F-2s hit.





Did I mention that I'm not real crazy about tornadoes?

Hello, nurse!


So, Alpine took his LPN board exam Friday, and sweated all weekend. I mean, really sweated, and tossed and turned and ... Sunday, glorious Sunday, he found out that he passed his exam! Even better, yesterday Alpine officially became Alpineman, LPN, according to the Kentucky Board of Nursing. Woohoo, Alpine! (sorry I couldn't find an appropriate male nurse image out there... =)

my inner nerd

A fellow nerd sent me this game. My first go of it, I only got 17... the second time, I got 26. I can't seem to remember 26 anymore, but it's fun trying. You may or may not enjoy it! Check out some of the other games as well... Presidents, States, etc.
