Three Things Thursday

1. I feel like a crap puppy mom today. I took Napoleon for his annual shots this morning and found out he has a slight heart murmur and really needs his teeth cleaned again. He will likely lose some more teeth this time, too, because his gums aren't looking great. Then, he had a reaction to the shots and I had to take him back to the vet. They gave him another injection, this time with Benadryl and a mild pain killer. He's been sleeping on and off since, but appears to be better. This strip of photos perfectly illustrates how our day went.

2. The winner of my Plated giveaway is Alyssa! Rafflecopter selected her from more than 110 entries. She'll score four plates and a month-long membership. But don't fret, I have another tasty giveaway right around the corner.

3. I have what polite people call a "gentle stomach," which makes endurance sports a little risky. I've found a lot of relief in probiotics and kombucha, so much so that it's part of my race-week prep. However, kombucha is really expensive! Instead of paying $4, Lauren and I are going to attempt to make our own. Laima generously acquired a pair of mothers for our brewing experience and dropped them off today. They look like jellyfish in the jar and already making a kombucha baby. This could be interesting ...

Awh poor puppy =( My dog also has reactions to his vaccines so the vet has to drug him up first too. On the plus side, he's very calm and sedate for the evening!

Poor Napoleon! There is not much sadder than a pup on meds that make them sleepy.

And that kombucha starter looks like a prop from a horror film...
