In no particular order:
1) Woke up this morning to a drooly/pukey dog in her kennel, who then had a morning poop of great distress. After googling the symptoms (you don't want details) I finally connected the dots with yesterday's awesome toy - a stick from the flower shop next door. Stella spent all day chewing the bark off it, and the bark was having its revenge today. Fortunately things got better during the day.
2) Found blood on SqueakyGator, which prompted first panic-thoughts of Parvo, then the dim light bulb of recognition that the little doggie is now teething. I checked out her teeth and gums and there's clearly some renovation going on.
3) Evening walk, inspecting the local sewer drain, when a straight-out-of-a-Disney-cartoon raccoon face pops up to say hello. Stella, who finds everything interesting, stopped and tried to negotiate a closer sniff. Padre was too busy yelling Parvo!Rabies!Ebola! to be receptive. A hasty retreat was made.
Now she's asleep under the desk. Survived the day.
