cheese round 2?

maybe the theme is 4 years old

so i love the dutch saenkanter gouda (aged 4 years) that i finished off tonight. the flavor is sharp hard and bitey in a way that gouda isn't usually and yet totally stays true to that nutty depth that i love from gouda. i don't often buy gouda since the flavor is so rich and not very bitey. feels like a decadent lazy flavor like laying on a fur rug near a fancy pool in a swimsuit too expensive to swim in.

finished the grafton cheddar - also aged four years. can't even say how awesome the bitey of this is... WOW. but i went on about this before.

the basque tomme goat and sheep milk cheese - i liked enough to finish - but won't buy again. the flavor is a bit too milky for me. dark earthy milk - but too milky nonetheless.

alrighty. that's that batch.

working from home

and heading to the vet soon
lucky dog tore off her dew claw
and while that might only sound moderately gross
there is a bloody stub where her little dog thumb used to be
ICK!!!!!
and
OMIGOD

so i am home - the calvary is arriving soon since i can't lift the dog and it doesn't seem like she should walk on it

it's one of those things where
a torn nail - you can overreact
a ripped off nail with stub - i fear under reacting and then having to deal with the repurcussions. Would rather have Dr. Rau roll her eyes at me then to have lots of other complications...

MY POOR DOG

and in cat news
they hate their new food - which means i haven't gotten a decent nights sleep since Saturday.
oy

YAY for justin42

Who was totally the calvary today
Who came to my rescue to help with the Lucky dog
Who got dirty and full of paw marks and messy because he is so so nice

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
