At least you would think so after that $$$ surgery le pup had last Friday. But, he does not.We had our first post-op check up today...so far, so good. The cornea in that eye is inflamed just a bit, so Frisco is on yet another med {this one is an anti-inflammatory}. His inflamed cornea is what makes his eye look so cloudy. But, whatever infection that was there is under control & the graft is healing well. We go back in two weeks for another check up.But, enough talking about his eye...let's just "ooh" & "aah" at the greatness that is Frisco, shall we? {Le pup & his e-collar...it's a pain in the, uh, neck, but it IS helping his earsstand up...I'll try to get a pic of him tonight without it on so you can see.}{No, the hubs wasn't holding his head in an awkward position...he … [Read more...]
Just call me Betty Crocker…
I've been doing a lot of baking lately.I baked a carrot cake a couple week's ago.Then, over the weekend, I baked this: {I won the cake plate that you see fromFancy Schmancy Designs a while back}And, I also baked this {twice...a double batch on Saturday & a single batch just. last. night.}:Chocolate Chip Banana Bread & Peanut Butter Cup Brownies...it's been baked goods heaven here in the Chissler household.I found the recipe for the bread at All Recipes. I needed to use up some very ripe bananas {since I kinda-sorta fell off the green monster bandwagon}. The recipe calls for a cup of shortening, but I subbed with a cup of butter. Oh, and, yes, the recipe calls for some mayo, too. Sounds gross, but you can't taste it. Click here for the recipe - it makes two loaves.As for the … [Read more...]

pUpdate.
Frisco's surgery was on Friday morning. Everything went well. I left work just after 3pm to head to Yorktown to pick him up. The pup & I made it home just before 7pm on Friday {no thanks to the ridiculous traffic we have here in Hampton Roads} - for what it's worth, the drive is usually 45 minutes - each way - on a 'perfect' traffic day {whatever that is!}.The corneal & conjunctival grafts were a success...well, as far as we can tell thus far. His eye is still cloudy & blue, but that will start going away as his eye heals. We go back to the veterinary ophthalmologist on Friday for the first recheck. It is my understanding that his lens was fine, so we're very happy that he'll start regaining better vision in his eye as it heals. Right now, Frisco is taking an oral … [Read more...]
So I can be a Daddy, too…
The boys shaved their heads tonight.As the hubs was using the clippers on Aidan's head, their conversation became quite amusing --Aidan: "That's a lot of hair. I can take some of it and put it in my arm pits. I can glue it with my glue stick."The hubs: "Now why would you want to go and do something like that?"Aidan: "So I can be a Daddy, too." … [Read more...]
