Sick as a Dog

What does that even mean?  Of all the times we have had sicknesses go around our house, the dog is the only one that never gets affected.

This latest round started with Ris and Chris and then worked it’s way through Cait and the twins and has now landed on my head.  All of those listed above had runny noses, some coughing and maybe slight fevers, but were able to continue on with whatever needed to be done.  Me?  Not so much.

I have been knocked flat on my ass in bed, coughing, snuffling, wheezing and other bodily functions that I will spare you from mentioning.

The oddest part of this “cold” (I am certain it is nothing more than a cold) is that I am STARVING.  I can’t seem to eat enough, and when I eat I cough less and feel better.  It is the damnedest thing, I have never had a cold or any kind of illness of this nature, usually your appetite is the first thing to go.  But I can not seem to find enough food to put in my mouth.

It has been almost a week, I hoping I am looking at the tail end of this.  In the meantime, enjoy this cute cartoon I lifted from undomesticdiva.
