Daily had another trip to the vet. Her stomach is distended, and although I was pretty sure it was fluid from her congested heart failure, the vet wanted to see her to make sure it wasn't bloat. It's fluid. Poor puppy can't jump up on the couch without help because her tummy is so big. She's on more Lasix, but the vet thinks we need to realize that it could be sooner rather than later that we'll have to think about putting her down. I'm amazed that I can even think about this, but I guess it's because I know it's not going to be too soon. She still wants to go for walks and she still eats her food (less than before, but she eats), so she's still hanging in there with us.

We've been social butterflies lately. Two parties in 3 days! And although it was fun to get out and meet new people and see old friends, it's just not as much fun being the only sober person when everyone else around you is all abuzz. But then again, being sober, I had some good laughs. And you know what? Apparently, homemade biscotti that was good early in the evening is "Aaaaahhhh oooooohhhhh soooooooo gooooooood. The beeeesssssttt cooooooookieeeeee everrrrrrrr" about 4 hours and 5 glasses of wine later.

US Rep. Patrick Kennedy is entering a rehabilitation program (his second try). His dad, Teddy, said he's proud of his son for "taking responsibility." They always take responsibility after they get caught. And "taking responsibility" doesn't mean much to me anymore. Don't take responsibility for doing and/or being caught at doing something stupid or wrong--don't do the thing you know is stupid or wrong.

Nicole Richie admits that she is too thin. Duh! She says that she doesn't want young girls looking at her and thinking they should look like her. And yet, Skinny Jeans proudly showcases her in their jeans in the fashion rags and websites, with comments about how only really skinny people should wear them. Sigh.

Doctor Who this week was creepy, scary, and cool. But it was a two-parter, dammit.

It's Farmer's Market season! One of the best things about spring. Fresh bread, fresh asparagus, honey, plants, and pies. And me with my Longaberger Market Basket. It's a beautiful thing.

Glad Daily is doing ok. Poor little puppy dog.
The cover-up aside, Patrick Kennedy, like most people born into that family was born to be addicted to something.
I know that I always stand up for the Kennedys, but, really, Patrick has always been very candid about his addiction to prescription drugs, and his experimenting with Cocaine in his younger days. And, dammit, Ambien DOES cause the kind of problem he had. And, isn't Patrick the one who battled cancer when he was younger?
How come people like Betty Ford are "heroic", when they admit to being sots, but a Kennedy is simply condemned. And, don't get me started on Rush.
Oops! Sorry about the rant, but I get sooooooooooo mad when I listen to the talking heads rattle on and on about the Kennedys.
