I bought some huge langoustines from Argentina and some regular shrimps.
I started a big pot of soup.

Carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, garlic, cilantro, tomatoes, cabbage..
i will throw in the seafood and squash later.

Do you use that Mexican squash?

Kiki: it's dirty, but I don't want to wash it til later. Only housework today. My mirror is also dirty. Fun fact: I've slept in those braids for two nights!

Very cute!

Mine is up in it's usual bun...dirty too!
I don't wash it everyday.

Do you use that Mexican squash?

Camp who watches the kids when ya'll go out?
Just wondering...do you have to bring them somewhere or are they able to stay in your home?

I use to babysit when I was a kid....
I don't have family close to me...all are about an hour away....Houston is big but traffic is bigger.
i didn't trust anyone enough to watch the kids....not that the older one is old enough to babysit I never want to do anything!
 lol

Our neighbor/assistant. I've known her since 02 and she's been at this camp since 04, even the years we didn't work. We have 12 years of backgrounds checks on her, plus I know she's first aid/CPR knowledgable. And she likes my kids. We decided long ago we'd rather take them with us or stay home than leave them with someone who thinks they're a chore. They're too precious and dear to be treated like burdens.

Hi all, been home for about 45 mins. trying to catch up.
its not good news for pup and then it is.
We went to the vet and she is asking questions and she thinks blockage and wants xrays and said it will be surgery and I was talking I mentioned I got him from the amish so he didnt get shots. She stopped what she was doing . stuck a q-tip up his butt and gave me the terrible news of parvo.

She said we dont have a way to treat here so I have called another vet who can treat him. He needs to be hospitalized and giving supportive care and he may or may not make it even then. they started closing doors, and made us carry him out. He is very contagious.
The good part ? I went to pay and it seems I have a donor for the bill !

I get to the other vets and guess ? Yup ! They have already talked to donor as well.

Unbelievable. I dont know what to say. I have an angel.

Oh man. Not sure which is worse, blockage or parvo. Poor pup. If he recovers, does this mean he will be immune to the virus? There was some pet program here that was from an inheritance. Old lady wanted to help people keep their pets, so when she died, she left her money to her vet (or something) to use for people in need. That was a loooong time ago, but maybe you there is something like that out your way. Wonderful thing! All the bad news in the world... it's nice to see something good... there are some kind people out there.

 

[campingshaws]

That's such good news! Even parvo shouldn't be as bad as it is on the tiny pups. It's quickly fatal to them for sure. I wouldn't think he'd get it so old, though?
