Family Stuff

prosodicReece ate a blanket last night. ATE A BLANKET. I had an extra blanket folded on the bed to help keep me warm at night (we turn down the heat, so it's around 67 degrees or so in the bedroom when we sleep). I was in the shower and she was on the bed. So I guess she started pulling strings out of the blanket...Lance walked in and found a pile of string on the bed and floor and she had worked up a fairly large hole. And I'm almost positive that she ingested some of it.
Of course, being a Lab, she can pretty much ingest anything and seem nonplussed by it. Such is the case. She knew that Lance was angry with her for what she did. She spent a good part of last night with her ears down and her tail between her legs and she avoided him for awhile and clung to me.
I wasn't thrilled with her either. But this isn't exactly a random act of destruction. She does this kind of stuff all the time. You should see my curtains.
And in other family news, my niece has a concussion. Oddly enough, it happened at the hospital when my SIL was having her ultrasound. Another girl about Eva's age came over to hug her, and Eva was caught off guard and fell straight backwards (like a falling tree, as my SIL described it) and her head hit the tile floor really hard. She cried, but otherwise seemed fine.
The next day, she was walking funny and there was a considerable amount of projectile vomiting. So off to the doctor, and tests showed that it was a concussion.
She's fine and pretty much back to her normal self again. But just hearing that story earlier made my flesh crawl. I can't imagine how scary that must've been for my brother and SIL. It freaked me out just hearing about it!
