My dog’s birthday barkuterie board.

Today was going to be another Hallmark day with a review of Annie’s Point, a 2005 Hallmark original offering featuring Betty White. (Why not make the most of that UP free trial?) My dog had other plans. She gets an impromptu trip to the vet instead, and Betty’s probably pushed back until Wednesday.

Muriel (not her real name) got a little overzealous in her bone-chewing and has injured her mouth. She continues to eat and yell at us apace, but the sudden, eye-watering halitosis suggests that, at the very least, an antibiotic is in order.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, she broke a tooth. She’s scheduled for an extraction next week, which was the earliest slot available, and was sent home with pills. Hopefully she doesn’t become Neely O’Hara (again). The Annie’s Point review has been posted and is linked to above.
