Happy birthday to Hudson the wonder dog, as the loyal guardian of the BlueTower, and one of my favorite "people" in the world, turns 11 years old today. I was planning on giving her salmon as a treat, as she really loves fish, but following Gunnar-man's prodigious bout with diarrhea last week she had a very loose movement yesterday, and then last night woke me up every 90 minutes or so to go out, so I'm worried she may now be suffering with whatever was bothering him, and feeding her something unusual may is not advisable. It was not so fun having to get up four or five times overnight, but it was preferable to having to clean up multiple messes this morning.
