Dreams, Rocky, Smoker

I've always had very vivid and weird dreams. I can usually remember more that one a night. I can see color, feel pain, remember little details and so on. But since I've been pregnant I've had terrible dreams... worse than normal. The other morning, I was dreaming and had to tell myself that it was ok to wake up and thankfully I did. I won't explain the whole dream but it was kind of like a school shooting dream but everyone had a gun and was shooting anyone in sight. Me and several other girls were hiding behind a tree and then went to hide in the river. We made it out ok but there were thousands of casualties. The part that had me crying and hugging Casey, when I woke up, was Casey was in the dream, too and we had been separated and I never knew what had happened to him. I just kept sitting there waiting for him to show up. I woke up before I ever found out. It took me about 5 to 10 minutes to calm down and Casey had to hold me the whole time. That is how real my dreams are. Rarely, are the dreams good. They are always bad or just plain weird. I hope that doesn't say something about me.

Is anyone else like that?

Yesterday, Rocky was running up and down our back fence, barking at the City workers who finally came to clean up the ditch behind our house, when he hurt himself. He wouldn't put his back, right leg down, so Casey and I decided to take him to the vet this morning. Diagnosis: torn ACL. Cure: surgery! Who knew? I thought only athletes did that. So now we have until August 21 to save up the money to get him fixed. If we didn't do the surgery, he basically be a gimp and would be in pain from time to time. We couldn't do that to him b/c he is one of our babies and also, our walking and hiking buddy. He loves it and we couldn't do that to him. At the vet's, they had to give him something to relax b/c his legs are pretty muscular and the doctor couldn't find what was wrong. After is was over, we couldn't pass up the chance to take a few pictures. Bless his heart... he was out of it.

The smoker seems to be fixed, finally! I probably just jinxed it but so far so good. If all goes well, we should open next Tuesday or Thursday. This weekend we have our first catering gig. Yay!
