Pulling for him to get over this rough start. I hope you're not getting too run-down, either. <br /><br />This is why I always had pet fish. :)<br /><br />New book promises to be a great read. I love that particular genre (sub-genre?), but am always on the lookout for something a bit more modern than my copy of <i>The Complete Tightwad Gazette</i>.<br /><br />So, how was 2011 for me? It ground me down to a flat exhausted pulp at the end. But if I pass the exam and if my book gets accepted and if I get a job and if if if... 2012 could be better. We'll see.Marian Pererahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15700524210146863718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-80473196932444666752012-01-04T10:54:30.234-06:002012-01-04T10:54:30.234-06:00Ellie: Oh, that's the luck of the draw.

Lots of 'firsts' throughout the year.

That's one thing I hope we don't repeat this year.<br /><br />Mike: I wouldn't mind the nocturnal walks, but I'm one of those who can't fall asleep easily. So I'm awake long after the little monster is sawing logs.<br /><br />Jayne: I wish I had some help about now. Between Murray, the book and lack of sleep, I'm running on empty.

I'm glad Oscar made it. Whew! Very scary.<br /><br />Southpaw: It's so weird. I really expected 2011 to be better. Hope springs eternal though.<br /><br />Raelyn: The verdict from the vet was more speculation than fact. He thinks Murray is coughing up hookworms. He's on his second round of wormer. If the vet is right, Murray should be better in four days. If he's not--more tests.<br /><br />Barbara: The boys have met. So far Tank is not impressed and Iko doesn't know what to make of him. He's too little to play with just yet.<br /><br />Kaye: Amen to that. :)<br /><br />Susan: Given a choice, I'd go with optimism every time. Things never stay the same, be they good or bad.<br /><br />Miki: I consider 'not being dead' a definite good thing. :)<br /><br />Sarah: Let's make a deal. No more horrible bad things in 2012. I think we made our quota in 2011.<br /><br />Tracy Jo: I'm the same way without sleep. I don't know how my hubby does it with his crazy hours.<br /><br />Carol: I'm hoping being a good puppy mommy will give me some brownie points in heaven. :)Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-2979857314256956482012-01-02T17:19:49.788-06:002012-01-02T17:19:49.788-06:00I do hope Murray will be OK in no time at all.

He's already a joy to read about, so I can't imagine how much he's enriched your lives.<br /><br />My mother-in-law's little Dachshund Oscar got carried off by a hawk. He's a wily little thing and always squirms. The hawk dropped him and he limped home. He was badly cut up and it was touch and go, but he's our little miracle. Very timid now and a skittish, but adorable. <br /><br />Keep Murray out of the run until he can chomp the hawks head :DK.T.
