Guarding the sick

So the Boobers was home sick today.   Coming down with a dandy of a cough and cold.  With her past medical history we try to nip these in the bud as soon as possible.  The longer they go, the worse they get, the higher the dose of Prednisone to treat her.  So when we hear those deep, throaty, chunky coughs it's home in bed from school she stays.  Bob does the morning and I do the afternoon.  That way I can get some hours in, use less PTO and he can still be productive in the afternoon.  We've gotten it down to a science these days.  There is nothing better than coming home to your little one still in their jammies, laying on the couch, greeting you with a smile and saying, "thank you mommy for coming home to take care of me.  I love you".  Ahhhhhh.  The glory of being a mom!  

The ever-present dog-sitter Copper was also home today standing guard.  Alert for every cough and sneeze.   You get the picture by the pics above.  The faithful friend behaves himself only when able/allowed to cuddle with his humans.  He snatches literally every opportunity as you can see.
