Good afternoon. I'm back!! Feels good to be back to work. Thanks to Judy for holding down the fort for me.
Hubby's hip surgery went well. Healing is going well too.
And to add just a little more stress. On Monday when I got up and looed at Kally, her face was swollen on the left side just below her eye. I knew we must have another tooth issue. Swelling or actual sores beneath an eye in a pet is often times a sign of an abscessed tooth. Because those roots can go up into the sinus area.
Thank goodness I was able to get her to the vet Monday. And she had her left upper molar removed yesterday!!
So I have 2 patients to take care of. Thankfully both are doing well.
I'm glad this week is almost done. But you know that's what life does right? It keeps throw stuff at you. You learn to cope and pivot and breathe in between. Hyperventilating doesn't count however.
Have a good day!!

Good morning. All went well with my husband's surgery yesterday. He's feeling good considering he just had a major joint replaced in his body. Thank goodness he only has 2 hips.
The shop is open normal hours today. I will not be there however, today or tomorrow. Judy is taking care of things for me while I help my husband heal. I will be back at it Friday though.
Have a great day!

Good morning. It's a perfect day today. And tomorrow too. Get out and enjoy it.
Tuesday my husband is having his 2nd hip replacement. They say the 2nd one is different. But they don't really say why. I'm hoping it all goes as well as the first one did. I will be gone a few days next week taking care of him. But Judy will be here taking care of things for me. So business as usual.
Have a great day!

Good afternoon. Today is Ruby's gotcha day. She had to stay home today. I'll bring the Golden Gang tomorrow.
Kally is so funny when are getting ready and putting their collars and harnesses on. She is jumping up and down, whining, me first, me first. Then when I open the door when we get here she is shaking. Really?? You wanted to come, you know this place. Silly girl. There is something in the backseat that is scaring her too. I don't know what it is. She takes up most of the backseat. While Oliver finds a corner to sit on. Nothing is different but apparently she thinks there is something different back there.
It's funny what they notice.
I had the lid up on my LP tank one day, because there were wasps in there. When I let everyone outside Lucy immediately noticed the lid up and started barking.
Have a great day everyone.

This is the one hiding in a jar most of us already own.

Xylitol causes a dog's blood sugar to crash and can cause liver failure, and the amount that does it is small. It turns up in sugar-free peanut butter, gum, mints, some baked goods and some toothpastes.

Read the ingredients, not the front of the jar. If it says xylitol or birch sugar, it doesn't go in a toy. If your dog has already eaten some, that's an emergency vet call now, not in the morning.

Good morning. It's Ruby's birthday!!
She is 5 today. I can't believe we have had her 4 years already!!
Fours year TOMORROW in fact. So a big week for her. And Oliver's gotcha day is Saturday!! I told you August was a big month.
And next Tuesday, my husband has his second hip replaced!!!
Say a prayer that it goes as well as the first one did. Minus the appendectomy.
Have a great day. Stop in and wish Ruby a happy birthday!!

Good afternoon. It has stopped raining for a minute. I finally got my yard mowed yesterday. It was so tall and wet that frogs had taken up residency. And what is with the humming birds?? I suddenly had several of them last night fighting over my feeders. I have 3 feeders. One hummer has been sitting guard on the light wires. I saw it wave it's "big" wings this morning at another one coming to try to feed. Little stinker. They are territorial I know. But really? Be nice right?! They have been eating alot of food too the past couple days. I change my feeders every day. Especially when it was super hot and humid. The sugar water gets moldy very quickly.
Maybe they are fueling up for their trip south for the winter?
They are fun to watch.
Have a great day!
