That's My Bix!

I am still way sick. So sick. My chest feels like I’m carrying a few pounds of gravel in my lungs and the worst part is that I’m exhausted but not tired, if that makes any sense. The good news is that while the official strep culture results won’t be in for another 24 hours, the preliminary results show that my little petri dish isn’t growing anything, so I’m cleared to fly. The bad news, of course, is that just because I’m not contagious, doesn’t mean that I’m actually healthy.

I’m SO looking forward to humping it across the MSP concourse tomorrow.

For lack of a better Holidailies entry (because how many times can I tell you about sitting on the couch and feeling faint? This many) here is probably my favorite video of Avi and Jincy of all time. You see, Avi weighs a trim 21 pounds (trim, that is, for a pug) while Jincy is all of 10 and a half pounds. That’s right, she’s conveniently half the size of the pug. However, she has one very distinct advantage over the pug’s girth — Strategy.

I call this video “The Flinch”. And lo, it is awesome. Premise: Avi has just been given the best toy in all of pugdom: a Sobe Life Water bottle filled with pug treats. It has escaped her into the kitchen, so she has to go get it and bring it back to the den, where the cat is lurking. Hilarity, it ensues.
