Hell-a-copter and Herbs

Man, I'm dragging my fuzzy butt --not literally, I don't have worms, but I'm TIRED!

Mom and I were snuggled together sleeping nicely (dad was at work) and about 5 a.m. we started hearing this LOUD noise...it woke us both up, heck, it even woke up Simon. Do you know how loud something must be to wake up a kitty from a dead sleep??

Anyway, I was like what the crap is that? Mom said it sounded like a hell-a-copter. She thought that maybe someone had had a wreck or something and they called in the Life Flight team. But then the hell-a-copter didn't leave. For two whole freakin' hours.

Mom and I tried to sleep through it, but everytime we almost dozed off, the damn thing would hover like right over the house! Mom then started thinking "I wonder if they're looking for a criminal or something?" I told mom not to worry, if someone tried to get in the house Duncan and I would eat them.

Finally it went away, but then it was time to get up for work. Ugh. Daddy called and mom "went off" on the hell-a-copter and dad said some woman had gone missing (I think she actually just went to the store without telling her family) this morning and that must be what they were looking for.

Mom said they hoped they found the woman cause if mom found her she was going to give her "a piece of her mind" about interrupting her sleep. Did I ever mention that mom isn't a morning person?

In other news, mom has added some more pills to the top of the microwave (that's where she puts all our supplements and stuff, I have no idea why). She brought home two new things for us to try: Vitamin E and Ester C.

Mom says the Vitamin E will help with my winter itches that I have. All this dry weather is making me itchy! We're already on salmon oil, but the E will help the fish oil absorb better, making me less itchy. Here's hopin!

The Ester C is for Duncan. Apparently, new research is showing that Ester C helps dogs with arthritis and/or dysplasia. You have to start off slow, cause it can cause some bad poops, but hopefully by the next week or two Dunc will be up to the 2000mg dose and we'll see how that goes. Here's a link to some info about Ester C and dogs: http://www.workingdogs.com/doc0039.htm

That's about it here...we're going to try out dangdest to make it till midnight, but that stupid hella-copter didn't help! Mom said she's going to give me a treat tonight of pumpkin mixed with yogurt! Yummy!

Have a safe, happy and wonderful New Year's! Hugs and kisses to you all!
