On Rusticanus & waffles.......

Rusticanus, the Poodleus Minor, has seemed sort'a depressed since Trudy died.  Kind'a needy, loss of appetite, etc......I wuz thinkin' he might need some Prozac but it turned out that he had an ear infection....both ears, akshully, tho' the right ear is worse than the left......I dragged him off to the vet where he behave admirably...it was almost embarrassing, he didn't pull on his leash, didn't bark or whine uncontrollably, jumped on the scales on command as tho' he'd been doing it all his life, (22 lbs, he's a lot smaller since we got his hair cut).....he even jumped onto a bench and thence to the exam table and sat there like a cartoon dog.....the vet tho't he was well-trained and most obedient, (go figger)......ah well, he's a pretty good dog for a Poodleus Minor & he suits me....
Anyway, it's another one o' those 'Thank God it's Friday' days, the sun is shining, temp headed for the low 80's.....I guess Spring has finally sprung....OK by me.....
Cary called me while I was with the vet & pulled in behind me as I was leaving.....she uses the same vet.....she claimed that she was starving as she'd been working since the wee hours....I suggested we stop at Country Waffle which is just down the street......well, she said she wanted breakfast.....I had a 'normous big waffle....I don't have waffles very often on account'a the sugar stuffk but what the heck?  They have a purty good waffle......
She said Dave had got his visa for India but that they had messed up the dates so his 6 month visa was really only going to be good for 4 1/2 months......that'll either be way more time than he needs or way less...I s'pect he'll find out.....
I think Cary is s'pozed to return from Spain on the 20th of May & Dave is to leave on the 21st.. Millyrose & I will 'sellabrate' our 49th on the 23rd.....the merry month of May is gonna be a busy one, I guess.....Justin Other Smith
