A hot muggy and buggy weekend as I took Rhett with me to water our little garden and check on the wild blackberries that grow along the edge of our property. I didn't stay out too long. But the berries are just starting to ripen.
My worries about Eva (below) continued through the week. She was taken back to the vet on Wednesday for IV fluids that did seem to help her feel better. For more than a week we've had to put a leash on Eva to get her to go outside. But by Friday, she was volunteering to go out on her own.
Her appetite is much improved, with the help of the very-stinky-green-tripe most dogs can't resist. But it's all good signs that she's continuing to feel better.
Not wanting to venture outside much is our newest addition, Brandon. He'll just stand at the door and watch us.
He's a good natured fellow that follows me around the house. He's fit in really well and has settled into his new life and routine. His appetite has also returned (thanks again to the very-stinky-green-tripe) and he'll wait with the others in the kitchen while I get their meals ready.
With this, I'd say that we're ending the weekend in a good place. And for Todd, that good place is on the front porch this evening.
Happy to hear the good news on Eva feeling better. We are glad that Brandon is fitting in well, and we hope he feels more comfortable soon going outside.

ReplyDeletesmiling faces and stinky tripe! can't beat that combination. XOXO
ReplyDeleteNot sure what stinky tripe is but it must be the “magic!”
ReplyDeleteHappy Days at Golden Pines . . .
Stinky food is always a good incentive. For us it's sardines. Nobody can resist them.
ReplyDeleteThere's a dog food called Butcher's Tripe that our dogs used to love - must be the same as stinky tripe. It smelled terrible but the dogs couldn't get it down fast enough ! Guaranteed to cure all pernickety appetites !
ReplyDeleteSo glad Eva is improving and Brandon has found his appetite too.
We have never heard of that green tripe...we are glad your girl is feeling better......mags and gus
ReplyDeleteThat's great news about Eva and Brandon! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had to worry about Eva. Glad she went out on her own. Hope she continues to feel better. So good to hear Brandon is coming along. Poor guy. He's been through too much at his age. Glad everyone is in a good place. Hope that means you too! :)
ReplyDeleteLove seeing all those smiling faces!
ReplyDeleteThank heavens for the restorative properties of very-stinky-green-tripe.
ReplyDeleteHi hi hi! Ojo here! Hurray, we are glad everyone is doing well! Very-stinky-green-tripe is indeed an amazing thing! (Although ours is more like very-sticky-grey-tripe.) Stay well, everyone!
ReplyDeleteWhat is very-stinky-green-tripe? Brandon is such a cutie and I'm so glad Eva is on the mend. Today was beautiful, but the two days before that were brutal. I would never survive in the South.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot stand that tripe stuff! :( Your pictures are terrific and we are so glad to hear that Brandon and Eva are doing better...hopefully Brandon will go out soon.
ReplyDeleteSo many prayers for Eva,, and you!
ReplyDeletelove
