October 13, 2008

White Dog and I got a slight reprieve when my new "boss" called to ask if I could start Wednesday instead of today. It was a good change because Steve came home at noon looking green and freezing while feverish. White Dog and I wrapped the sick one in a down comforter and she sat at his side while I put together a light broth with saltines lunch. White Dog laid across Steve's chest afterward to provide extra warmth and both slept all afternoon. Tonight Steve has a better appetite and says he feels less achy. White Dog still has him under close scrutiny...but I think she is secretly glad that Steve is insisting that their nightly walk will go on.

Happy Thanksgiving to our Canadian friends...Casper and Pals and Jesse's family especially!
