Babies Update
Okay, after a three day stay at the vet and a mortgage payment later, the kids are doing fine.Doris- She apparently ate something on one of her walks that almost killed her. It could have been a poisonous plant, pesticide or bug/rodent bait, who knows. She was on IV's and medication all weekend and will still need some time to get her system back in order, but she is doing much better. This is one of the reasons I don't use things like poison peanuts in my yard and the elephant ear tree is getting pulled out of the backyard this weekend as a precaution.
George- Surgery was done to remove the nubbin. It was a ball of infection that grew (literally overnight) over a bad reaction to a bug bite. He is wearing a lamp shade and will get his gazillion stitches out in two weeks. Not to poke fun, but he crashes in to everything with his lamp shade on and at bedtime it's a riot with him trying to get under the covers, whacking in to all of us. He is a good boy when we take it off for meal time and walks and especially when we have to put it back on. He just sits so still and is such a good boy. It also helps that he knows he gets peanut butter after.
Larry- as usual, causes me no heartache.
