Excursions

Randi, Earl, my dad and I went on an excursion today to the vet.  My dad had to come here to Mantua to help me get Randi and Earl in the truck so that they could get their rabies shots, so that their licenses can be renewed, so that if they are arrested and subsequently incarcerated it will not cost me very much to get them out.  Also, my dad needed to pick up the oven-proof soup bowls I borrowed last night which must be made of gold since my mom didn't want me to take them.  I had told my dad that it was going to be a struggle to get them leashed up and in the truck for various reasons, but mostly because they are Bad.  At the vet, Randi and Earl and my dad and I had to sit off to the side to avoid Earl showing off his dying dinosaur impression every time a dog walked by.  They went in and got their shots without any ado and I am happy to report that Randi weighs 78lbs which is just perfect for her height.  (Earl weighs 80.)  Unfortunately they also have a bit of tartar and so the vet tech suggested I start to brush their teeth at home.  I'll get right on that.

Last night Randi and Earl were in fine form.  While Randi was (all four feet) on the table trying to eat up after dinner, Earl was in the kitchen knocking soup cooling in Tupperware on the floor.  Luckily it wasn't in the golden soup bowls or I'd probably have to put in a permanent address change here in Mantua.  I'm at a loss for what to do because it's not like I say, "Hey, Randi, how about you hop up on the table?"
