Granny's gone and done it again

Smooth coated dogs shed too much

I know they do, but it's short, fine hair. Around here we have clouds of hair! Wads. Puffs! Cotton-candy clouds wafting across the floor. And that's even when I sweep daily!

Just coming on for a minute. Seems like it's one thing after another lately. My Richard called this afternoon after I got back from the dr. Says .. well..something interesting has happened. I'm in the ER. I burned my foot pretty badly. He kept his foot under hot water as he got ready for a bath. The tub had felt real cold to him so he sat on the side and turned the hot water on thinking he would for just a min. Didn't realize that foot was right in the stream..or just didn't think it mattered. He can't feel a thing in his feet. Long story short. Noticed white bubbles happening. Did wrap it himself. Not sure how many days later he went to change it. It was bad, real bad. He isn't far from the hospital. Strolled on over. They were quite concerned about infection. Started an IV right away for antibiotics. Took photos for Salt Lake City burn unit. They said..we're worried about infection right now. Of course they're keeping him and are being right out honest with him that he may lose the foot. They will pretty much decide tomorrow if the infection looks to be the same or if it's spreading. I didn't go to the hospital with Austin. Worried about all what's spreading around right now. I told him to tell the nurse on that he's susceptible to blood clots. Had one once from his knee to his upper thigh. Real long. They ask..oh..should we put those things on his feet to pump? Austin says, I don't think that would be a good idea. The nurse looks at his readon for being there. Oh! I guess not. Austin says we just want you to know that it's something to watch for. Poor Richard says, I know I would be fine about my foot, but I'm scared. Austin gave him a Priesthood blessing while there. All of the family are praying. Blue..you know what to do. I don't want to write this out again. Or even part of it. Thank you!

When she sheds, I just comb it out. Works well. Doesn't shed often.

I know they do, but it's short, fine hair. Around here we have clouds of hair! Wads. Puffs! Cotton-candy clouds wafting across the floor. And that's even when I sweep daily!

Oh, Cynthia! Honey, I am so sorry! This is the son with the spina bifida, this is why he couldn't feel that it was so hot? Of course I will share this at Prayer Warriors immediately. Fear not.

Can't you just visualize a lady with a giant teased up ball of hair on her head? In a chicken format.

We saw a hawk strike outside the window. Found read feathers everywhere but no blood or dead bird. No birds missing... I read a cute story a long time ago about a little Aseel mama hen with little ones being attacked by a hawk. Supposedly just before the hawk could make off with a little one the mama hen flipped over on her back and used her feet on the hawk sending the hawk back to where it had come from in a state of shock. Leg's mama was an Aseel.

Like a lizard losing its tail, shedding feathers is a survival strategy for prey birds. Fear triggers a loosening of feather follicles, and the predator often gets a mouthful (or talonful) of feathers without injuring the prey bird.
I would have loved to see mama Aseel fight off that hawk. She obviously didn't consider herself a prey animal.

The odd thing I noticed after the attack, all the hens stopped laying and several went into molt. Very unexpected since most went through heavy molts just 3-4 months prior, with the accompanied egg slow down. We sure missed all those eggs.

Stress molt, Wishing? Good to know! Was not aware that was a thing.
