February 20 - Cookies Cookies Cookies

156 cases of cookies in the Honda mini-van
It's cookie time! Teresa (our troop cookie mom) and I went to the local pickup spot a few weekends ago and picked up our troop's first order of cookies. It was my first pickup experience. Cars are directed down one of two different lanes were there are literally semi's full of cookies. We pull up, open the truck an boxes are loaded. Teresa's mini-van was stacked to absolute capacity, it was crazy (next year we will definitely take two cars). Then we headed back to her house and organized them by girl. Next up....everyone picks up their order and has to organize them by specific orders. Fun times! Julia delivered all of the cookies to JD's work last week and we delivered to our neighbors yesterday. I need to mail a few orders but we can finally see our counters again.

Can you guess who enjoyed the cookies the most? Well, that would be my number one furry baby, Amelia Peabody. Amelia ate an entire box of lemonades last weekend. We laughed about it (dog food will surly taste bland now!) and I expected her to be a little sick, but she end up being sick for several days. She was so sick she stopped drinking water and eating completely. We took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with pancreatitis. They gave her a bag of IV fluids and anit-nausea meds and she was luckily back to her normal self in 24 hours.  

Poor Amelia

Mom, I promise I will never eat lemonades again!
