Well, I hope you had a great weekend — Ken and I didn’t do much of anything.

Friday of course we had THE LIST of stuff to do. We began by taking Sabrina to the vet to have her staples out, then grabbed a bite to eat and headed for Georgia to pick up Butterfly. Came home, dropped Sabrina and Butterfly off at the house, then headed to Greenwood to run a couple of errands. When we got back home, we discovered that while we were gone someone had gotten into a fight and Aurora had a bite on her head. I gave her an antibiotic and some pain meds, cleaned out the wound and proceeded to feed everyone. She ate, but I kept her crated for the night. By morning her poor head was terribly swollen, so a trip to the vet was in order. He gave me some higher potency antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory. By morning, the swelling was almost gone and she was acting pretty normal.

Sunday we went to see UP — a movie by Pixar animation. It was OK, but I was a little disappointed in it.

Monday was back to work and it was a nice quiet day for a change. My current boss did come by and tell us that we are getting a new boss starting 7/20. I just happen to have met this man and he’s nice, so I have no problems with getting a new boss. Perhaps now I’ll get timely reviews and pay raises — it’s only been 3 years since my last one.

Ken’s worked overtime the last couple of days and emailed me that he’ll be working this Friday as well as next Friday — guess that means the moratorium on overtime is suspended for now. I know he’s happy, but I was getting used to him being home at regular hours and having quality time with him on the weekends. Oh well….that’s life.

The little rescue girl seems to have a vision problem. I’m waiting on permission from the WRAP board to have her taken to a specialist if my regular vet says she should go. I am thinking though that she has PRA which is an inheirited disorder for which there is no cure. If she does have it, she’ll eventually go blind. I know that sounds terrible, but my previous experience with blind dogs is that being blind isn’t so terrible for a dog. They have such great senses of smell and hearing that they manage pretty well without sight as long as you don’t move the furniture too often on them. For now she sees well enough.

Well, I guess I should close this out and get back to work.

Take care!

Love to all,

Margaret
