puppy teeth
march 16, 2005

lots of computer woes in the past few days. i think i may need to finally pull the plug and reinstall a new OS. i can't even open 2 internet explorer windows at the same time without it crashing on me. i think there's something evil lurking inside my hard drive. this brings back memories of the time my computer was in the shop for a good 3 months! it was insane. i wasn't able to update and i missed out on a lot of stuff. hope it's not going to be like that this time.
i've been seriously losing sleep over this in the past few nights. just the thought of having to back up so much stuff and to have to reinstall so many programs is making me so stressed out.

^ snowbie's baby teeth, should i put them under her doggy bed to see if
the tooth fairy would come?
last friday, i took my little snowbie to the vet to get her teeth pulled. she still had two baby teeth that needed extraction and it was getting infected with all the adult teeth crowding around. the gums were red and inflamed. poor thing.
when i was there waiting to pick her up, this mom and daughter brought in this 2 week old shih tzu puppy that was the runt of the litter. they named her "baby" and said she wasn't eating well. i asked if i could take a photo because i don't think i will have too many opportunities to see a shih tzu puppy at 2 weeks of age again. she was so extremely tiny, delicate and swaddled only a face washcloth. her entire body fit in the 10 year old girl's hand.
i took that photo mainly to remind myself of how fragile life is. perhaps by the time i'm writing this, the puppy is no longer on this earth. or maybe she is growing perfectly fine. just like our own lives i suppose, everything hangs in a frangible balance that can go either way at any moment in time.
