Yes, as this nurse suspected, it was salmonellosis (and confirmed by the lab today).

Now that Dahey has had more symptoms (and he ate at the same place Bubba did), I get to play nurse coordinator and get him some medical advice, too.

Joy!

Hope your weekend is a little less exciting than mine. Stay tuned!

Just hope I don't get salmonella.

Very, incredibly annoying. Off we go, not for pay, but for an IOU...

Nuggets for September 2

Yes, it's been a long time since I posted Nuggets, but I really missed them, so...Now that I've returned from my trek to ye old neighborhood pet store to get an electronic fence for the wild ol' herding dog at my house who nearly got hit chasing a scooter yesterday, I discovered a couple of goodies out there of note.

Enjoy!
