Sunday

Miracle Max’s breathing is labored again, and at 5:30 this morning, Heather woke me up to tell me that he is open-mouth breathing, which is not a good thing. I called the on-call veterinarian and he met me at 6:00 a.m. He gave Max oxygen but did not have the facilities to properly take care of him. Heather and I took Max to Saint Cloud, and he spent the rest of the day in an oxygen cage. That helped Max breathe a lot easier.

Dave and Josh were here all day, with Josh asking to go to a skateboard shop ad infinitum. He was not too pleased, as most of the ‘mom and pop’ businesses in town are not open on Sundays. For a city of 20,000 people, I guess that is odd, but even the malls close here on weekends at 5:00 p.m. I admit, that is odd, with all the tourists here. I mean, the population of Crow Wing County more than triples on summer weekends. Still… it isn’t summer, yet. Soon, it will be like driving through a metro area, just to go to the grocery store. Oh, joy!
