We had been again on the vet with our latest arrival, Iva. It was only for extra blood work, and just a little longer watch for all check outcomes to be returned. After we lastly heard from the vet, it was to inform us that each one the stories got here again with excellent news, apart from her thyroid, which we anticipated. Iva’s again on thyroid medicine and the entire regular dietary supplements. I believe in a number of months, she’ll be an entire new canine. Proper now, we’re engaged on eradicating mats and tangles, and utilizing a pin-brush to buff away the unfastened hair from her coat. When that process is completed, it’s going to be time for a superb bathtub and blow-dry, that we’ll after all do ourselves.

Taking the highlight off of Iva was Jack. One morning simply as I used to be leaving for work (operating my regular late after all) he discovered a lifeless mouse that he needed to carry inside. I rapidly grabbed treats and saved dropping them till he determined to present it up. It took 5 treats. I assumed that was an actual discount as a result of I’d have given him the entire handful simply so I would not must get it out of his mouth.

Ree additionally had a birthday. She turned 6 years previous. At six, Ree is after all the youngest in our family, and palms down essentially the most mischievous canine we’ve had in a really very long time. She was most likely dissatisfied that she didn’t get a handbag, however a cookie was at all times a enjoyable deal with too!

In between all that, there was work, and even an ice storm. 

And and this previous Friday, excessive winds ushered in plummeting single-digit temperatures and an influence outage that lasted about 13 hours for us. What a reduction it was to have lights and warmth once more!

With the ability restored, we cruised proper into and thru Christmas. In the mean time, it is a quiet time at our home and I took the final of my yearly trip from work. It was just one further day without work, but it surely was good to be house.
