Bits and Pieces

I spent some time down in the studio this afternoon setting up for what should be a brief recording session tomorrow. Less housecleaning than I might have hoped got done, but that's the way things go some times.

I went out and grilled some lovely T-bone steaks for dinner, while Gretchen made baked potatoes and sweet corn. Ruby the Dog was, despite the Cone of Shame, happy to receive one of the bones when we were done.

We have bought an inflatable collar for Ruby, but it is not *quite* large enough to absolutely prevent her from reaching her incision, so we are only letting her wear it during the day while we are watching her, as it will definitely slow her down enough for us to distract her. Also, the inflatable collar comes off when Ruby shakes her head violently, so it may not be quite the right size. But it's an improvement.

Just ask the dog.
