Welcome to Friday Faves! Although it’s Saturday, the long weekend vibe is still strong. This week has been a whirlwind of emotions, with the Pilot wrapping up three weeks of night flying, leaving me to solo parent our girls. Amidst this chaos, we noticed something off with our dog Maisey – her mouth wouldn’t close properly, making it difficult for her to eat or drink.
We rushed her to urgent care, but tests came back normal. Determined to find answers, we sought a second opinion from another vet. The diagnosis: trigeminal neuritis, or drop jaw, a temporary condition with a hopeful full recovery expected in two weeks. While the cause remains unknown, we’re doing everything we can to support Maisey’s recovery.
Between worrying about Maisey, dealing with a broken car, and the general chaos of daily life, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the weekend for some much-needed downtime and friend time. How about you? What’s on your weekend agenda?
