Dogs and Cats

Today has been relatively quiet in Boulder. I took Rosie and Remy out for their walk; Remy has starting showing a weakness in his right hind leg, and since he was favoring it when we started, I cut our walk short and decided to play grab the bone with Rosie. When we arrived at the Snow yard, Suki and Boo greeted us; Woodsley was kept inside until Jim could come out to personally supervise him. Rosie and I had a great time with her bone, and I threw Boo's plastic ball for her. Then Jim and Woodsley came out. Remy, who had been gimpy, spent 25 minutes running at top speed , chasing Woodsley. He seemed none the worse for it, so maybe it was good that he was able to stretch out and limber up. I just don't know. Nancy and Joel delivered my beautiful evergreen wreath with pine cones and a red ribbon this afternoon. It's hanging up on the door, and I've already received three compliments on it.

Lovey and Nedi have been able to go out and play three different times today. I'm beginning to think that the dog is only next door during the weekend, when the guy's lady friend is visiting... All I know is that my kits were extremely happy to be out and about this morning, afternoon, and evening without a large dog chasing them. (I go see the general surgeon tomorrow afternoon to see what he thinks about my recurrent abscess - it's still draining. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, 13 days since the last incision....)
