We were dogsitting for my son's miniature bulldog (Brooklyn) for a couple of nights while he and his wife visited relatives in Baltimore. Not a big deal, right? At least it didn't appear to be a big deal until about 9:00 PM last night. We were planning on picking the kids up from the airport (of course the flight was delayed) around 11:15. Brooklyn was sleeping, Judy was sewing and I was slowly turning into a vegetable. And then it happened! Judy drops her sewing needle, Brooklyn instantly wakes up thinking that there is food on the floor, and she proceeds to SWALLOW THE SEWING NEEDLE! In case you didn't know, this is not a good thing. So, Judy takes Brooklyn to the emergency vet in Chesterfield and I end up going to the airport.
Long story short: the needle was removed from Brooklyn's stomach with a scope, she's fine, ready to do more damage, and Grandma, Grandpa, Mommy and Daddy are out several hundred dollars.
I get home around 12:15 and need a drink. I initially think "cheap vodka", but regain my senses and have a glass of 2009 Eric Kent Sarapo Chardonnay - $22 at The Market. This Chardonnay has a taste profile very similar to Rombauer with one difference - it's $10 cheaper! Chardonnay has always been a comfort wine for me. Trust me. I needed some comfort last night!

Next time bring some of that wine to our house!

I am so glad Brooklyn is ok and equally glad to know that 2009 Eric Kent Sarapo Chardonnay is as tasty as Rombauer! Thanks for the info!
