The Weekend

April 23, 2007 - 3:59am

It was a chill weekend for me. Friday night I went home after work and couldn't even stay awake through a whole movie. I was asleep before 9pm.

Saturday I got up early to take Bentley to the vet. Turns out he has an ear infection and calcium crystals in his urine. The x-rays don't show kidney stones so I'm hoping it's just an infection that will be cleared up with the antibiotics. After the trauma at the vet, I sent him straight to the groomer. Poor baby had a big day.

I spent the rest of Saturday running errands, cooking food for the rest of the week (mmm, stir fry!), and cleaning house. I also worked on the car a tiny bit but got stuck when I didn't have enough strength to loosen a couple screws. While it's hard for me to rely on someone else, I'm glad Chris is coming on Thursday. He can deal with the screws.

Saturday night I had drinks with Ryan and Jim at Papago Brewery and The British Open. At Papago, I tried their brew, the "Hop Father," because I liked the revolver on the tap. (Darn, should have taken a picture.) Then I tried Tetley's because it's made in Leeds, England, where Jim is from. Tetley's is GOOD. It's officially my second favorite beer...Guinness is still my favorite.

Sunday I woke up and wrote my to-do list. It focused around laundry, cleaning my room, and emptying out a closet for Chris. (I just know his move is going to creep up on me so I'm trying to get as much done as early as possible.) I worked at a leisurely pace, but eventually got everything done. Looking for a reason to get out of the house, I went to Papago Park for Urban Arts at the Park. It was an Earth Day celebration put together by Women Living With a Purpose. It was a happy and excellent way to spend the evening - listened to good music, watching people dance, and enjoying the weather. And Bentley was an excellent companion.

Is he a Schnauzer? I have a Schnoodle (Schnauzer + Poodle) and his face looks like your Bentley's :-)

Bentley looks good all trimmed up!

Poor bently. If he's sick with a bladder infection and an ear infection, why didn't you just let him be shaggy a few days more? Doesn't he have feelings?

Cat, I'm sure he has feelings; however, getting a haircut isn't particularly traumatic for him so it was best to just get it done. The really good news is that Bentley is feeling much better now that he's been on meds for a few days. I'm so glad he's acting normal again.

Sylvie, I'm not entirely sure what kind of dog Bentley is. When my sister adopted him, she was told he was a Yorkie. Though I certainly agree that he looks like he has some Schnauzer in him.

Hey, I know that dude in your picture sitting on the step, talking to the girl. Small world. His name is Rex, and he's about as smart as a box of rocks. He's probably recounting the time he almost graduated high school in an attempt to woo said strumpet.
