The Dickinson County Courthouse by Lukinosity, on Flickr

Sunday. It rained on us off and on the whole time. It started shortly after these pictures. I'm guessing they are thinking how can we keep him out here for several hours in the rain. They quickly came upon a solution which involved staying as far ahead of me as possible and frequently chasing unseen things off in the woods then returning when called very lackadaisically. I'm sure that was due to hearing loss from having water in their ears......

Wet dog on log. Monday PM.

Little B has been racing to the back fence each time he's let out into our garden. There are a couple of large dogs living behind us and he can get a tantalizing sniff of them where the fences bisect. I think there must be a small enough gap for him to be able to get his nose under and thus his nose has become very sore. He's having to go out on a long training lead now to stop this habit. Here's hoping it doesn't turn septic

get well, B.

Poor Little B, a dab of Neosporin (or Poly, even better) will help.

Peggy, already sick with a tumor for which she is taking prednizone and tramidol since November, had enough spirit left in her to get in trouble and to eat a whole package of pita bread the day before Christmas. By 9PM she was bloated up like a balloon; her sides looked more like a cow than a dog, so off we go to VCA emergency. Fortunately, though bloated, her stomach was in the right place -- no torsion, but they still kept her overnight. Since the traditional is to let her tear into the gift wrap Christmas morning, we waited until 2PM, when we were able to bring her home, to open things. She surprised us by still being interested in killing some colorful papers, even though she was unable to have anything but a bit of water until late Christmas day. After a brief romp with giftwrap, however, she was tired, and lay down on top of her prey. A family snapshot, not a fine photograph, but important to me.

Note her colorful, green Christmas bandage!

Hope Little B's nose get better.

A great blog, and a real tribute to your canine friend and companion. She was beautiful!
