no "UNS" allowed at the taco shop


San Antonio on a Sunday morning...

If it's yummy breakfast tacos you crave, be sure to visit the Original Donut Shop & Taco Drive-Thru on Fredericksburg. But be sure to leave your gun in the car. They don't want none o'that in the dining room....or maybe it's Puns: No PUNS allowed.... or is it NUNS??

Shakes Update

It's Friday, and Shakes has not eaten since Tuesday. He's getting so skinny.

Tomorrow he'll get started on a new pain patch that time-releases his meds...all with the hope that he'll eat on his own.

This weekend:
Shakes: Back to vet for sedation/tube feeding, fitted for a pain med patch.
Cindy: San Antonio for Gramma's Light the Night Walk.
Arturo: Watching Shakes and administering pain patches, hoping he finally eats on his own.
Cletus: Eating, sleeping, cleaning his brother Shakes.
Pookie: Going to the club on ladie's night. Getting fitted for gold in her mouf.

We went to see David Sedaris last night. He was great. Provided some much-needed diversion for us. Next book comes out June, '08.

Shakes


This is Shakes, back when he was pain-free, taking in the sun at his favorite spot.

So this is what we've been dreading. Shakes is sick and appears to be in an awful lot of pain. So much pain, in fact, that he can't eat. I even grilled him a nice salmon steak. wouldn't touch it. So now we must face the inevitable talk with the vet. I really feel like crap today.
