And we win the West Division on go on to the Western Conference Final!
It was a tense game. The energy was way up in the 1st, but we weren't getting anywhere. We were shooting and came up empty. Derek McKenzie had 3 shots on goal in about 5 seconds, all accurate, 1 going off the post and still nothing. The Ducks scored in the 2nd and it looked like we weren't going to get out of this. We finally tied it up 7 minutes into the third and the crowd went nuts. We get the game winner 3:47 left in the 3rd! THEN the crowd went nuttier. The Ducks pull their goalie to try to come back and the Wolves made sure they won with an empty-netter with 23 seconds left.
Then came something that felt embarrassing - the Ducks pulled their goalie again and we scored again with only 4 seconds left.
We didn't really need to do that. It almost felt like the Wolves just took the Duck's heads and shoved their noses in it with that last goal. It's almost like the Wolves woke up and just had to retaliate for not sweeping them earlier in the week. Really, really odd feeling.
Then again - why pull your goalie? Did you really think you can get back into the game?

So, today is Carol's Birthday. We spent the night with restless sleep, each of us taking time to check-up on our little Chip. He's not eating, he's not moving around. About 2:30 this morning I just picked him up out of his cage and held him for a while, trying to make him feel better. Even Indy didn't know what to do - she just looked at me as if to say "I don't know what's wrong here - you have to do something."
When morning came around, Chip wasn't any different. We both went to work. Carol called the vet - no openings this morning, but she could just show-up and they'll treat it like an emergency, wedging her in between appointments.

Carol left work and went home.
Chip is up and alert. Carol opened the cage and the two of them just came out and ran around the family room, jumping up in the air and just having a wonderful time.
Damn rabbit - he's not sick at all!
Now what was it? We don't know. the vet thinks it was a "gas bubble" that can be pretty painful.
All we know is Carol lost time at work and the little Chipster is fine.
