The iBook is back, with a new logic board *and* a new fan. The countdown to the next meltdown starts today.

Jericho went to the vet and all is well. His teeth do need cleaning, which we knew. His thorn injury has been shaved and salved, but is not infected. His umbilical hernia is nothing to worry about. He's at a good weight, happy, and quite healthy. His goopy eyes are normal, I just need to keep them clean like I have been. His ears need plucked, but they'll do that when they clean his teeth.

The dental job won't be cheap. I suspect we'll have a couple months of credit card debt for the first time in a year, but that's okay--it's a small price to pay for a healthy dog.

He quite happily gobbled his Interceptor tablet up, which surprised Tom. He doesn't realize that dog medicine like that is made to taste wonderful to canine tastebuds. Our dobe used to beg for her heartworm preventative.

Jericho was very piratey yesterday. He insists that his name is Jericho Balls. I'm assuming this nickname is similar to the way one calls a guy missing a finger, "Eddie Fingers".
