We got up this morning and the dog was playing with a caterpillar that was all curled up. She was licking it, and tossing it around. I have no idea how it got in the house, but I made Kevin get it from her and get rid of it.
We went out to breakfast, being as its free day, and with all the eating going on during the week we have no food left in the house from last Sunday's grocery excursion. We went to this little place in town called Bayou Joe's. Its one of my favorite places around here, its such a cool little restaurant. Its actually built out on an old dock, the kitchen and everything. Some people drive up on their boats to eat breakfast. And its a gorgeous day for eating outside today, 75 with a slight breeze and just a few clouds in the sky. They have fantastic food, some of which you aren't allowed to specify what you want in it, because its completely up to the chef's discretion. One such dish is the Garbage Potatoes which is what K got. I had an omelet loaded with ham and veggies. They've got all these assorted coffee cups that don't match. You know, the kind you get for free from banks and such. They use the Christmas cups year round. Its all quite charming.
We go home, K calls out to me in the other room "Hey, baby, whats wrong with the dog? Her face looks like Will Smith's in Hitch when he eats that fish or whatever." Her face is all swollen up, her muzzle and her right eye, and I'm thinking it must be from the caterpillar she played with this morning. At least she's acting normal and playing with toys. She didn't seem to be in any pain, but I was worried her face would continue to balloon up and she wouldn't be able to breath. We called the doctor and he said to give her some Benadryl and I stayed home from church to watch her. She's all dopey and knocked out now. She's laying on the floor looking at me with one eye and not moving her head around.

That was pretty scary. I am glad that day is over with. She did look pretty funny though!
