stoutfellowSo, this morning I took Ben over for his dental work. It's an all-day deal, so I dropped him off around 8AM, with the promise that they'd call me when he was ready for pickup.
On the way back I stopped off at Target. I was out of blank DVDs; they're the nearest source, and pretty near on the direct line between my place and the vet. They didn't have the 10-packs I've been buying, so I had to get a set of 50. (They're on a spindle, and I don't know what the deal with labeling will be.) I also picked up a couple of CDs. One is The Cream of Clapton; it's got a selection of his work from all phases of his career - Cream, Blind Faith, Derek & the Dominos, and solo - and it looks pretty good. The fast version of "Layla", "I Shot the Sheriff", "Sunshine of Your Love", "Wonderful Tonight" - about the only major pieces that are missing are the slow version of "Layla" and "Tears in Heaven". I also took a flyer on Experience Hendrix. The only piece by Hendrix that I've ever knowingly heard is his Woodstock rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner", but he has such a reputation that I figure I ought to give him a try.
I got the call from the vet an hour or so ago. In addition to the dental work, they drained the fatty tumor on his chest (and it was, indeed, nothing but fat), but that means he'll be wearing a shunt for the next few days. In particular, he can't go outside, which means I can't walk him back home. I've made arrangements with a friend to pick him up tomorrow morning. (The overnight stay is free.) Of course, this means I'll have to block the doggie door; I'll have two dogs making messes in the house instead of just one. Sigh. It'll just be for a few days...
