not much to report...

well, sven on kare 11 just reported that the full moon tonight is called the 'strawberry moon' or 'solstice moon' as the summer solstice is friday evening.

the last time we had a solstice, in december, i got a tattoo...

this time i'm running another huge race.

good to know i can align the solstices with big events for me.


anyway, for those of you who heard about our rough homecoming, and specifically quinn's hospitalization at the U of MN, we have no conclusive news yet.

other than that we might have to refinance our refinance.

well it feels like that. (dh says there's not point in worrying about the $ but i can't help it; we *did* just get back from our big trip for which i feel guilty now in ways...)

and it feels even worse to have a fur-kid in the hospital, alone, and not one damn thing i can do but sit and feel sad and worry that he's not here and he's not well. to most he's just a dog. but to us, he's a loved family member....

all tests the vets did today were 'normal'. labs, xrays, nothing showed anything....the dr. did tell dh tonight that had Quinn stayed home today alone, he likely would have perished due to 'severe' dehydration. :( we had no idea....he really wasn't acting that 'off' other than the 2 major symptoms he was taken in for....(bloody D and vomiting...sorry, not pretty but true).

so he's in the ICU and they gave him IV fluids most of the day....they were going to 'test the GI tract' (ie feed him) tomorrow and see how he does after rounds.

i'm hoping for answers tomorrow....~jd
