“We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.” ~ Malcolm X
Old friend and colleague, Danielle Gabbard, dropped by to see us this afternoon. She’s always a bright spot in any day, and this day needed one because our boy Lord Basil had to make a trip to the doctor. Long story short, he has a bad back. Even though he’s not a dachshund, he has a back like one. I can’t read X-rays very well, but even I could see how compressed his little vertebrae at the base were. I felt so sorry for him. He’s enjoying the pain meds, though. He sort of wanders off, looking at the ceiling and walls as if they’re melting into a thousand colors, dripping toward China. Little Buddy will get lots of rest over the next week, as I will continue to relish running into friends I haven’t seen in a long time.
