Chuki is so tired today because it's finally hot out again. I'm hoping that this is a glimpse of things to come in IL. Lots of sleeping in the sun (for both dogs and humans). We went back to the vet today, for like the 100th time in the last couple of weeks. He has some inflamation in his paws from walking in all of the rain. Or something like that, I really couldn't understand. Just when we could stop cleaning his ears twice a day and then applying cream, we have to start cleaning his paws twice a day. It's one thing after another with this dog!
But he's cute, so we'll keep him.

Our Vet
We loved our vet in the beginning but now it's safe for me to say that I dread going there. A lot of the vets are afraid of Chuki which makes him afraid of being there. It's just not a pleasant place to be. But yesterday we had this doctor, who we actually thought didn't work there anymore. And he was an absolute dear. He wasn't afraid of Chuki at all. He spent time petting him and calming him down. And he was thorough. Usually the doctors just do what we ask and send us on our way. But this guy gave him an exam and answered all of our questions about flying with him. He was actually knowledgeable and helpful! We thought we had to sacrifice one for the other. So thank you doctor whatever your name is. It really meant a lot to me that you didn't just assume Chuki is a mean or bad dog.
With that said, I can't wait to be in IL and find a vet for Chuki that is both helpful, knowledgeable, good with big dogs. And most importantly, that I can fully communicate with.
If you're in the Rockford/Rockton/Roscoe area and have a vet that you just LOVE, we're looking for recommendations. Send them our way via facebook, email or just leave a comment!

Project Number 2 - Day 14 (Tuesday)
Yesterday we FINALLY got Chuki's shot! He can now legally come into the USA. Thanks the Lord! Also AMAZING news was shared (or more like facebook stalked) this morning by our dear friend Grant! He's going to grad school... IN LONDON... IN THE FALL! Listen to his program (and if you're like me, swoon) Masters of Public Administration and International Development! YES PLEASE! What I'm most jealous of is that he'll be by Sarah and Corine! NOT FAIR!
Anyways, this is supposed to be about what I ate yesterday.
For breakfast - I had a cup of coffee and milk at my class. Coffee is used lightly here. Then I came home and had a pot of coffee and a bowl of yogurt with a banana.
For lunch - I remembered to pack my lunch, only to not really need it. My class was canceled and so I could come home for lunch instead of eat it at inlingua. I had rice, choclos, a chicken thigh and half of a tomato. It was left overs but delicious.
I didn't have any snacks, because I had eaten a big lunch. But I was feeling a headache coming on and so I got a little Coke to drink on the bus, hoping the caffein would help. It didn't really. I think I'm going to get a massive migraine one of these days. I can just feel it.
For dinner - We had left overs. I had a chicken leg with pasta sauce, smashed potatoes, and green beans. PLUS the most delicious juice! Ryan made orange, passion fruit, pineapple juice! Oh. my. word. It was delicious. I usually tend to over season everything and try to get fancy but Ryan often remembers that simple flavors on such fresh ingredients are WAY better. Dinner was fantastic but I was still hungry an hour later. So in a bowl I put some rice, pasta sauce, choclos and a tomato in a bowl and ate that. Then I was full.
