Too gloomy here today for good pictures, so here’s one from Honda.
Too gloomy here today for good pictures, so here’s one from Honda.
After much investigation, deliberation and angst, we went out and bought a 2008 Honda Civic today! Although the idea was planted by that little brake incident in Hocking Hills, we ditched the Focus and kept the Taurus Death Sedan, because, when all is said and done, iffy brakes still trump no air conditioning. (And the brakes have been fine–but Dad & I would still be uneasy taking any more long trips in the white beast.) So we are now the proud owners of a Galaxy Grey Civic LX Sedan, and very happy! Excuse me now while I go out, sit in the driver’s seat of the Civic, and inhale that sweet, sweet new-car smell!
I’ve been concerned about Cali for the last couple months: she’s been increasingly lethargic, not begging at dinnertime (!), and panting incessantly in spite of the air conditioning. Sigh. It looked like her Cushing’s disease was making its move and ramping things up for our poor old girl. In an effort to make her a little more comfortable, I scheduled a haircut for her on Thursday. And brought home a new dog. After her post-grooming nap, we had our girl back. At twelve years old, she’s no longer the lunatic that bounced off the walls and made us crazy for years, but now she’s prancing around, tail held high, and even INITIATING PLAYTIME–something she hasn’t done in months. Unbelievable. Now I know that when her coat exceeds one inch, it’s time to call the groomer. I just wish my own haircut last week had had the same salubrious effect on me…
