Someone Put Me Out to Pasture, Please?

I am dogged tired and that's no pun. Maggie would argue with me about that. My sleep was invaded by frantic moments of much activity then I would rest again. Much activity going on about Maggie's Vet visit -- phones ringing and consultations. My father would prod me along from work and tell me how good I am handling all of this.

I woke up at noon to the very shrill ring of my phone in the computer room, yet there was no rushing to the phone as Maggie normally does as Maggie was in the "hospital". I really missed her this morning.

"Maggie's ready to come home," said the sweet sounding receptionist with a giggle.

"Give me an hour and I will be out there to pick her up," I replied. "I need to make myself look more presentable."

The young lady laughed as I hung up the phone, found some clean smelling clothes, and took a shower. I found myself satting on the edge of my bed trying to gather myself for all I had to do today. I had a hands in my face moment for a moment there.

I couldn't sleep last night without Maggie in the bed with me. I finally just got up and played some retro video games until daybreak. I was really being old school last night playing Super Metroid. I can't believe I had passed over this fantastic game. I will play Metroid Fusion next for the Gameboy Advance to keep with the canon of the series.

I finally fell asleep early this morning until my eyes couldn't stay open any longer. I collapsed on the bed with my clothes still on and went fast asleep.

The Unveiling...

I had Maggie groomed and she looked so beautiful with her new haircut when I picked her up. She's no longer the shaggy beast she was and had the proper attire of a duchess upon her. She was so glad to see me and broke out in jubilant joy! The  bad news? She has tons of pills to take and many creams and salves to administer. I am going to need help from my father with this.

Give A Grand Standing Ovation to Papa!

Now, we are waiting for my father to arrive which will be any moment now. I want to see how Maggie reacts.

Ah, Bless!

It will melt your heart the great greeting Maggie just gave my father. She even tried to jump in his lap when he sat down on the couch.
