Marriage. The idea scares the bejeezus out of me, I can tell you that much. But for two out of three couples in this photo, it is very much a reality.
Our friends on the left-hand side are getting married on Saturday. Scott is the best man and I am a bridesmaid, potentially a topless one. My thwarted efforts to...
- have the bridal shop order the correct size of dress,
- have said dress altered,
- have the zipper of said dress repaired (after the seamstress broke it), and
- have said dress repaired AGAIN (after the seamstress claimed to have fixed it)
...have made it clear that I still merit my nickname. The bodice of the two-piece dress is in the hands of yet another seamstress (hopefully a competent one this time) and I will not get it back until tomorrow afternoon. Did I mention that the wedding is on Saturday? Yes, this Saturday. And I still haven't had a chance to try on the bodice, since the zipper is an integral part of the outfit. But shhhhhh! don't tell the bride about all this. She doesn't need the added stress. Not that I do, either, mind you.

I'd really like to know how Ferris is keeping! I keep checking your blog but nothing about the lad for a while so have been forced to ask!!!!!!
Remember the adage, "No news is good news." Our first appointment with the new vet is on Wednesday, after which we may have something to share. In the meantime, Ferris is doing well. I don't know if it is the prescription food, the Revolution or a combination of the two, but he doesn't seem very itchy anymore. He appears to be gaining weight and is looking healthier. We won't know anything about his liver until we have seen the new vet.
Revolution is good but expensive. It costs a fortune for our four dogs each year but although it's a chemical ( or a mix of chemicals!) it's worth it! I wouldn't mind betting that it's helped a lot with his itching. I'm happy you are seeing a new vet even if it isn't the one I recommended.
I hope you know.... that last comment was written toungue in cheek!!!
Yes, I know -- but Dr. Kenn is still on our short-list if our new vet doesn't work out. As it happens, our old vet happens to be very good friends (according to him) with our new vet. I don't know if that's a good thing!
