Over the weekend Jen and I got our spankin’ new iPhones, which made us very, very happy. This morning, after our usual walk, Pascal had a diabetic seizure and is now beginning a 24 hour stay at the emergency vet. Interestingly, I’m reminded of one of the most truthful and scary quotes by the narrator of A Christmas Story:
Oh, life is like that. Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at its zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters descend upon us.

that’s why i never like getting on a plane when things are going really, really well—
i guess i forgot unthinkable things happen on the ground too
but all is well for now-he will be better soon and we now know even more about his diabetes so we can take even better care of him
