Just checking in to ruin your lunch

I have five minutes to update before I have to leave for my dentist appointment.  So, hi!  How are you guys?  How was the weekend?

We're back from Chicago.  It was COLD in Chicago.  I knew it was going to be cold, but I didn't know it was going to be THAT cold.  Negative 15 with windchill.  Brrr.  But we still had a great time (inside).  And of course, I took pictures.

And I would tell you more, except the only thing on my mind is how many more hours til our vet appt?  Because guess what!  Henry has some sort of worm.  I think it's either a tapeworm or a roundworm.  Want to know how I know this?

Don't continue reading if you are eating.  Or if you ever plan on eating again.

I totally saw it coming out of his butt last night. 

THAT'S RIGHT.

I have a weak stomach to begin with, and I often have to turn away when Jack Bauer is getting down to business on primetime TV.  I also CANNOT STAND what I call "sneaky" animals... like snakes and lizards scorpions and basically any little thing that creeps around and hides.  A creepy, sneaky animal that HIDES INSIDE YOUR BODY?  Please just kill me now.  I literally cannot think it without cringing.  And throwing up a little bit in my mouth.  Which is exactly what I did when I saw it.  It went something like this:

Henry: [gets off my lap and walkd away, giving me a nice view of his non-neutered rear end]

Me: [seeing white thing poking out of his butt, MOVING AROUND LIKE A DAMNED ANTENNAE] OMG OMG OMG WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS THAT WHAT IS THAT

Joel: [enters room, sees me curled in fetal position] What's wrong?

Me: HENRY HAS A TAPEWORM!!  I SAW IT COMING OUT OF HIS BUTT!! OMG!  DO SOMETHING!

Joel: [Lifting Henry up to inspect his butt]: I don't see anything.

Me: IT WAS THERE!  I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!  LOOK AGAIN!  NO, DON'T MAKE ME LOOK!  I CAN'T SEE IT AGAIN!

Joel: There is nothing there.

Me: OMG OMG OMG OMG THERE IT IS!!!  IT'S ON THE FREAKING CHAIR!!

Joel: That is nothing.  Calm down.

Me: OMG OMG OMG OMG IT JUST MOVED!!!

Joel: Hmm.  I guess he does have worms.

In conclusion: SICK.  I will never sit in that chair again.  And we will be making another visit to the vet tonight (#3 so far, Henry is quickly closing on Max's record) to kill whatever that thing was.
