Sick puppy

Friday December 23^rd.

We've had a busy couple days, some fun and some not so much. Our Maggie ingested some bad bacteria from some unknown source, the poor thing had serious diarrhea for two days. On the third day we took her to a local Animal Hospital. Royal Oaks Veterinary Hospital in Clermont did a very thorough workup on her and determined it was not one of the serious dog maladies. They sent us home with meds and gentle on the stomach food. She's getting better every day and I no longer have to clean carpets. Thumbs up to Royal Oaks Vet Hospital!

On Thursday evening Millie and I attended a tribute show here at the Thousand Trails Resort. Two professional impersonators performed as Fats Domino and Elvis. Ted Torres as Elvis and Kenny Wayne doing Fats Domino have both performed with the Legends theaters and really put on a good show. We didn't win any of the door prices, but our VIP seating put us front and center for the show and we had a great time.

Today Millie flew out of Orlando International to spend Christmas with her grandchildren in New Mexico. This area has an excellent toll road system that serves the airport. After a short drive from the campground I took three consecutive expressways that took me right to the passenger drop off without getting on any local roads. They really did this airport the right way, there is the expressway that feeds it from the south and the Florida Turnpike does likewise from the north. It is very easy to get in or out of.

Maggie and I will stay here in Orlando until Millie returns next week. She hates us not being together, but I want her to go see her family. I'd go with her but I don't think Maggie would take to flying in a commercial airline and I wouldn't think of boarding her somewhere. Besides, Millie will be in the mountains of northern New Mexico where it will probably dip down into the twenties at night. Mags and I will be here in Florida where the temps for the next several days will be in the low 80's!
