Have to take my truck to the shop today due to a drivetrain vibration. Hopefully they just need to replace the universal joints on the propellor shaft which would be covered under a "customer service program" since it's a known issue. Otherwise it will be an expensive fix. Hoping for the best!

MAEN!
Your truck has a propellor? ^

LOL
He's still very sleepy and loopy. He was whimpering this morning, and Mr. Kipper thought he wanted out. I asked, and he just wanted on the bed. He tried to put his paws up on the bed, but missed. I tried boosting him up at the same time, like I normally would, and he tumbled back to the floor. We tried again, and now he's sleeping on the bed.

Oh good, you're spoiling him. Are you working from home today in order to look after him and keep him company?

I took today off from work. Mr. Kipper and I drove out to Philadelphia for a concert last night. It wasn't over until 2 AM, so we both took today off so we could nap.

So will you be home babysitting the old guy (the dog, not Mr Kipper!) this weekend?
ADDED: I just realized that you picked him up from the vet yesterday, so was he left home alone with just the other doggies to recover or did you get a dog sitter to watch over him when you were out enjoying yourselves in Philly?

I'm tired of this thread. I'm hanging up now.
