We have good news and bad news. The good news is that Kiko doesn’t have some crazy life-threatening liver disease. The bad news is that Kiko has a liver shunt. It’s basically a blood vessel that diverts blood from the liver. The liver is a blood filtration system. If the blood is diverted, it doesn’t…
Half Empty FTW
Well, it appears that there is something wrong with Kiko’s liver. Liz is taking him in tomorrow to get some blood drawn and then Thursday Kiko gets a liver biopsy. Basically, It’s not looking good for Kiko. It could be something bad or it could be something really bad. Anyway you slice it… it’s bad.…
On Man’s Best Friend
Originally published at Kickin’ the new Kuh-nowledge. You can comment here or there. Kiko, our 6 year old pug, started acting strangely the other day. He wouldn’t eat his food and he got really squeamish when I approached him. I didn’t realize until it was too late that he had some serious diarrhea. What a…
Cleaned and Ready

However, that week was different. On Thursday, I had a flight out of O’Hare to Washington, D.C. So instead of coming home as I usually do…
It’s the Delegates, Stupid…
Weird thing about primary voting here in Illinois. You actually vote for your delegates here. I don’t recall ever doing this in Florida, and it caught me by surprise this morning. You even vote for an alternate… just in case your original choice flakes out. Very odd… Also, what’s the point of voting in a…
Looks like we made it…
Liz and i have arrived safely in Shamu’s Bandana. Exhausted from the drive, plus Liz picked up a bug of some kind. Sleepy time. In other news, I actually took the time to park in the garage just so I wouldn’t have to unload until tomorrow. Sad but true. –sam
No Smoking?
The other day someone asked me what I thought about laws that ban smoking in bars and restaurants. My response is that it’s a health issue. If we can regulate the quality of food in public houses (the long name for pubs), we can regulate the quality of air too. Others seem to think that…
