stoutfellowA-a-a-nd we're done. Murphy had his teeth cleaned this morning. He seems in good spirits, though perhaps a bit subdued. It was a fairly quick operation; I dropped him off at about 7:30, and they called me around 9:00 to say things had gone well, but they wanted to hold him until noon. (Getting the phone call that quickly frightened me for a moment, I'll admit.) During the several hours that Ben and I were home alone, Ben kept demanding affection. A chance to be petted two-handed, without Murphy nosing in for a share, is not to be passed up, I suppose. I think I satisfied him, though.
This morning I happened to turn on the TV just in time to watch 84 Charing Cross Road. It was the first time I'd seen the movie, but the book is an old favorite. The movie had quite a few good touches; Helene's squeal of joy when she saw the first package of books was, well, familiar. A lot of it, though, was more-or-less irrelevant "business", which I guess was inevitable, given the movie's origins. Still, it was a pleasant way to spend an hour and a half.
Still reading Wodehouse: I've moved on to The Code of the Woosters.
