The miscellaneous ramblings and thoughts of Dan G. Switzer, II

Bummer Time--I'm Sick and Nikki's Got Bad Knees & Hips...

The last 48 hours have been a real bummer. Sunday night started feeling the onset of a cold comming on. My 14 year cousin Quintin spent the night Sunday—he's here from Denver with his Mom and Dad. That was great and I'm glad I got to spend some time with him, since I don't get to see him nearly as much as I'd like. We stayed up until about 2am playing XBox, but I was feeling pretty crappy by the time I went to bed.

On Monday, I woke up and went to Giant Eagle and picked up the fruit for the Fruit Salad we were to bring to a family pickup. I also went ahead and picked up a bunch of juice and other stuff to try to fight off my cold.

Anyway, since I was trying to keep Quinitin occupied, we took the dogs to a park so they could run for a bit. I had taken the dogs to the same park a couple of weeks ago and they really had fun. However, Nikki (our youngest Lab) began limping a few hours after we had left the park. She limped for a few days and then it basically went away. I thought she probably just tweaked a muscle or something since she never really seemed to be in pain (i.e. she wasn't whining and she never stopped her normal activities.)
