Dang, the Colorado Avalanche tore the hearts out of Edmonton fans and swept them after it looked like the Oilers had a spark of hope late in the game. The Avs have lost only two games in this Stanley Cup playoffs, to St. Louis Blues, who are a really solid franchise. I've got high hopes some Coors (and probably Fat Tire), will be sipped out of Lord Stanley's cup, while Rocky Mtn. Oysters are being munched on. Warning, don't google Rocky Mtn. Oysters.

My heart soars knowing that Can't-a-duh's streak of almost 30 years remains unbroken. You should change your national sport Canada, you're not very good at the current one. And why is Justin True-don't in Colorado today? Wants to learn how to win or something?

Thanks guys! It's been a few days, so we are feeling a tiny bit less overwhelmed, and all the tests have come back with good results. His charms are only improving.

We decided to emergency foster 3 seven week old Australian cattle dog puppies. They're literal ankle biters to the point I have scratches on my feet, but they're great dogs and decent guests even if the bathroom trips every 2 hours is rough.

Multiple sandals and the occasional shoe. They seem way more interested in rambling all around than stealing anything specific because they have an attention span of maybe 5 seconds. The only exception is if they're chewing something big - like my ankles.

If it wasn't for the "must take them outside for bathroom every 1.5-2 hours" thing, I would consider them great, if extremely silly guests. They're cheerful, ready to explore, and definitely a benevolent if occasionally yappy presence.

Another update - my dog Emma has become much more comfortable with the puppies. The other dog, Yeti, is still not wanting to be around them much.

They're going to their next place on Sunday, so life will be a little less complicated and a bit less joyful.

Started a new job - for 19k more than I was making before and doing some very cool stuff.

I'm feeling a huge relief and excitement.
