Do you ever have that feeling of having such a huge TO DO list that all you want to do is crawl under the covers and read a good book all day?

Pets feel the same way too, sometimes.

I had an amazing day yesterday – working with 23 Greyhounds just off the track. I will be posting photos and the “rest of the story” this weekend…

Barnie pretty much says everything I have to say about blogpaws.

Oh, and this.

The NYC trip was busy as usual. And somehow, busier. It was a long day traveling back home and, despite my best efforts, I came down with a whopper cold upon arrival. I spent 2 days drinking lots of tea, sleeping and reading. Yay – feeling much better today, although also feeling way behind.

I will be adding the photos, stories and interviews to my About.com Veterinary Medicine site over the course of the coming week. I was happy/amused to catch several dogs yawning this year. Just a little pet photography quirk I have. lol Sophie does this all of the time. I am convinced she thinks it is extra cute (which I probably encourage). Here are two beautiful Salukis before going into the ring.

I had a great time in NYC. I foolishly assumed that I would have more time to blog/Facebook/Twitter, but alas… there were many dogs, people and sights to see. Next week! Lots of stories to write about.

It was a long day of travel yesterday. We sat on the tarmac for a total of about 2 hours in 2 airports, in addition to the many hours in the air. A late plane and a  snowstorm in Denver meant that I finally got to get some ZZZs at about 4am EST. I was tired, but seeing the pets – especially Argos – being so excited upon my return perked me up. Sophie, Barnie and Greta are sort of familiar with the routine of someone leaving then coming back after a while. (Greta is totally attached to my son, my comings and goings are not as big of a deal to her.) I’ve never been “away” from Argos overnight since adopting him in December. He was so cute, bewildered, and thrilled at my return that I just had to laugh.

Today the trio of buddies – Barnie, Sophie and Argos – all happily settled back into the routine as I had my morning tea.

Early morning chill out.

The dogs always “know” the minute they see the suitcases. Cats… they are harder to read, but this was the face of  Barnie the night before I left for New York City.  awww. I hate to leave the pets! But they are in good hands with hubby and son. I hope.

Today it was the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. I did an inside tour of the statue and posted the photos on the AboutVetMed Facebook page.
