Today my dog Jem needed to get his shots: rabies, bordidtella, lyme. The last time we went to the vet he did fine, but they did everything where I couldn't see....and I am a very curious person. This time, I told them I wanted to see all the shots and stuff, and they said that was fine! Apparently most people don't like to see things like shots happen to their fur babies....but not me! So first they took his blood and I got to help. I held his head against my knees and did this maneuver that made his vein pop up. My good boy didn't flinch through any part of it. Plus he loves all the ladies at the vet's, and they love him too. So far, Jem has only had good experiences at the vet's and I want to keep it that way. Now he's sleeping next to me on the couch, occasionally letting out a HUGE snore. Cute.
Yesterday my boyfriend brought a whole chicken home from the grocery store. Well, I love to cook, but I have never cooked a whole bird by myself before and I was worried I couldn't do it. But this afternoon I decided the best thing to do was to just get to it......and it turned out DELICIOUS! I was really proud of myself! I rubbed it with butter, garlic, lemon juice, herbs de provence and a little greek seasoning mix, and stuffed it with onions and rice. I also made mashed potatoes and green beans. It was like a mini Thanksgiving meal. Even Jem had some little bites of chicken. I fished for compliments throughout dinner and my boyfriend obliged me....but now there are dishes to wash, and luckily the rule of the apartment is "You cook... you DON'T have to clean."
Lucky me.
