A Short Day and Long Night
A brilliant sunrise started the weekend when I was off first thing to the vet with Beau and Buddy for rechecks.
Buddy is much, much less itchy these days and no longer has to wear the 'cone of shame.' His skin still needs to heal a bit more, but his new coat that is growing in is soft and healthy.
Beau had a recheck of his ears and there is some improvement, but both are still infected. He'll continue on a steroid at least until he sees the dermatologist on the 30th.
With a lot of last minute things to tend to for the holidays Saturday was a busy day. But we weren't too busy that we couldn't meet some friends who are in town for the holidays to visit family. It was an unplanned get together, and we met at a nearby winery. I'm glad we made the time, it was an enjoyable visit with them while we listened to a jazz band.
It's the winter solstice, and the sun has now set on the shortest day of the year and the longest night has begun. Sheba is ready for the shorter days that take us closer to Christmas.
And Todd is ready for the longer nights to recharge his batteries.

Well, I've been pretty good just one incident under the Christmas tree but I got my paws crossed that Santa Paws will come anyway.....he just needs to watch where he steps. Merry Christmas to you and gang.

Don't think we've ever seen Todd asleep before...BOL! Seems you've got everything under control.
ReplyDeleteSunset Hills. That's where HER niece had her wedding reception a few years ago.
How wonderful to have the unexpected get together with friends. Where you went looks cozy!
ReplyDeleteIts good to get those re-check vet appointments taken care of- isn't it Kim
So good that Buddy's skin is getting better! And hoping Beau's ears get better with the medications and vet check on the 30th.
Beautiful photo of Sheba with her stocking! And so cute of Todd napping!
Were waiting for the longer days now too!! Hybrination needs to end!

Oh it's good that Buddy is feeling better and Beau's ears are slightly improved. I do hope they are much better by his next visit to the Vet. It was good you were able to catch up with your friends at the winery. It sure looks like a nice place. It looks as if you are all prepared for the coming week. Mum's been running around like crazy but I think she has it all under control for Christmas now. I can't wait. I love Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you all!!
What a lovely sunrise and wish Buddy a speedy recovery. Have a Blessed Christmas!

Amidst all the things that "have to get done", it is wonderful to take time out just to spend time with friends.

ReplyDeleteYes. I think i'm ready. Maybe! I'm glad there is improvement in Beau and Buddy! And i agree with Todd. Time to recharge!
ReplyDeleteSometimes those unplanned get-togethers are just the ticket. Especially if you have them at a winery. Loved this post.
ReplyDeleteI can't help but wish we still had several more days! I'm glad you got to visit some friends, and that both pups are doing better.
