Day 139

The original little blue pill... the one that will help me get a good night's sleep with my headache.

Headaches really suck. I get migraines every once in a while and if I don't take something soon after sensing the onset I can become a basically useless human being. I have one right now for which I already took some painkiller. Hopefully this will keep the edge off the pain long enough for this to pass.

I'm looking at Sharon and Ozzy right now sleeping peacefully. Today they were up for quite a while and are pretty much lights out for the evening. They're both angels when they're sleeping, but little hellions when fully awake and belly-full. When they get to playing both dogs will snarl and every once in a while I will hear a yelp as one has bitten the other too hard. All in all they get along great. We were really lucky to have gotten 2 basically friendly puppies.

It appears that Ozzy may have had a touch of Canine Pink Eye. When I looked at him this morning his right eyelids were a little swollen but not as bad as last night. Also the sclera was nowhere near as red as last night. Add to that he was responding to my fingers waving in the right peripheral vision area and it appears he's going to be fine. I didn't find anything about Pink Eye being a reaction to standard Rabies vaccine so it stands that he probably got some dirt in his eye or took a tooth from Sharon during one of their marathon play sessions. Either way I'm just glad he is alright.

I was rather amused by the salesperson at my door today. She was trying to sell a new security service in the neighborhood and offered free equipment for the opportunity to post a sign in my yard. She kept engaging in small talk at intervals and poking fun at my mannerisms while going through her sales pitch. This appeared to be an interesting tactic to keep the conversation going as I'm sure she gets a lot of doors slammed in her face. At one point we even debated the merits of vehicle emissions testing and their supposed purpose. In the end I told her that I wasn't really interested at this time. The human contact was nice (since I work alone most of the day) but most salespeople that come through are people that I usually have to get nasty with in order to get them to leave my door.

Between that and my errand running, today was pretty average day. Tomorrow looks to be a little busy, so at this point I need to get some sleep. To all of you, my faithful and not-so-faithful readers, I bid you goodnight.
