Just back from taking P out to indulge his post-veterinary need to pee copiously. It's brought on by the steroid shot he's given to prevent a massive inflammatory response to lyme vaccine. He's fretting about being disqualified from the Laff-A-Lympics for doping, trying to explain that that's all in his head & he can not be disqualified if he so chooses & anyway, they've never been too good about rule enforcement. Now he's talking about his childhood admiration for Mumbly or Muttley, he can't remember which.

Nobody much appreciates my telling them their deeply held convictions are all in their head, go figure.
