dear daddy deran

I've had a cold this week and while I think I'm finally on the mend, it sure would be nice to have him home. Those two week Christmas breaks are such a tease, then it's back to the grind! Ah well.

Five random (and a couple gross) Avery happenings this week:

1) She found a piece of a pug's toenail. I found it in her mouth.

2) When I let her help blow bubbles she tasted the end of the wand and promptly threw up the contents of her stomach. While I went to get a towel, Harper began licking it up.

3) She got the canadian bacon package out of the trash then nearly went into convulsions when the dogs started fighting over it.

4) She once had an itchy spot on her arm that I put Cortizone 10 on so now she's always pointing and telling me she needs "Meh!" (medicine). While I went to the bathroom a couple of days ago, she turned the shampoo bottle over and rubbed it on her arm. Then hours later Deran asked me why the rug was wet...dripping shampoo bottle.

5) She got tripped up yesterday and fell down, somehow on her legs. SEVEN traumatic x-rays later, it's a sprain. She's still cute with a limp but we're praying for a speedy recovery and complete healing!
