Happy Friday the 13th everyone!

Mixed bag.

Bean the dog is getting arthritis, and it's gotten really bad in the last two weeks. This morning he could just barely stand and when he got knocked over, he peed right on the bed. He couldn't even stand up to say he had to go. I had to spend the morning doing several loads of wash. The good side, now my bedding is entirely clean.

Thanks to Jacquelita's membership in the local non-commercial AAA radio station WXPN, and her efforts to get tickets, we went to see Ben Folds do a mini-concert live, for free, at noon. The man did not disappoint. He is brilliant.

Then we went to the White Dog Cafe and had a lunch that couldn't be beat. She had a pasta dish that was magnificent. I had a salmon burger that was done perfectly.

Took the dog to the vet and she put him on an anti-inflammatory drug and perhaps he will not need surgery. The arthritis is affecting his back, rear hips and knees. Keep your fingers crossed.
