We live with the Forrest all around us but we have yet to find a tick in the 10 years we have lived here...

Rinda - I've joined you in vet bills.  I took my dog in for her annual checkup and to bring her vaccinations current.  Easy, right?  Yeah, until she tested positive for lyme disease.   So now she's on a $100 antibiotic for a month.

Ugh. Apparently life is trying to one up me to you. I'm at the vet again having a cat euthanized. My kids are going to be heartbroken in the morning.

I am so sorry!

We lost a cat just before Christmas this year.

Rinda wish I could send more than

but, none of the rabbits hopping around the neighborhood want to donate a foot.

Lol awe! Well thanks for the thought anyway! I'm home and still feel like a heel. Too many if only's running through my head. He had a blocked ureter so long and so bad he was immobilized. Ciukdnt even lift his head. The only way it could have been worse was if his bladder burst. Facing $7-800 in vet costs as the minimum we had to choose euthanasia. I'm so mad at myself that I had to do what my head said and not my heart. The really sad thing was I had no idea anything was wrong until about 10 this morning.

Popping in to say that it seems always the same with chickens. They seem to hide illness so well. Don't beat yourself up, Rinda. At least he's not in pain any longer. Cats are so prone to urinary stuff, seems to me.

Rinda, I am so sorry about your cat. What a tough thing to go through. I hope the kids are doing ok. You need a real hug but this is the best I can do too. . Life better stop taking pot shots at you soon. RIP Kitty.

Sorry Rinda, even when you know what needs to be done it never quite seems like the right thing to do.

Kelly, only about 10% of dog that test positive for Lyme disease ever actually develop the disease. There is a wide range of opinions on treating dogs that test positive, as few of them ever actually get sick.

Today my three old girls, Judge Judy, Skye, and Stella are going on vacation to Kelley's house. They will stay until I get their coop delivered. I hope that happens next week. I added an addtional window on more louvred vents to the coop. I am paranoid about the getting the ventilation right this time! Now I need to find someone to build a nice fenced run for them. Michael has given up fence building. He got much better at it over the years but still hated it. This time he gets to watch the fence going in from the livingroom.

We are back on track to close escrow on this house and the new house on Monday. I will still be holding my breath until it closes. The buyers realtor is doing a walk through today to verify that all the repairs we agreed to do have been done.

We move into the motor home again tonight and will stay at the local RV park until we move the rig to the new house, provided it can make the turns and stay clear of low branches. Yikes. Wee will keep the motor home at the house and use it as temporary housing while we renovate. I am still waiting for the bid on the job. I hope I am on oxygen when it comes in and my nitroglycerin is close by. It is going to be a doozy!

Thanks Kelly! You're the best even if we aren't close neighbors. But, you do spend a lot of time in town so...let's meet for coffee. I still haven't told my parents about the house because I have been so concerned about it not happening. I have been telling little white lies and will be glad when I can be honest.

Happy Friday to all.

Tucker is asleep in my bed. I just looked over and saw a funny and strange sight. He is hugging his favorite toy but it looks like a very happy part of Tucker's anatomy.
