at the vet's, at the coop, and at home
jack had the oddest growth on his behind by his tail last night. i was very squeamish and couldn't even look at it closely . . which was really silly because if i had, i would have slept more peacefully. since i didn't, i slept fitfully thinking he had worms! (greg was away in boston, or he would have set me straight. i had korrina and james examine it for me . . but they couldn't tell what it was). morgana and i were up early today to take him to the vet at 7:30 am. he had his paws and the folds on his face thoroughly cleaned, and his growth electrocauterized. he also went nuts because he got too close to another dog and i could hear him squeaking and barking in the back room while i sat in the waiting room. i came home with an oral antibiotic medicine, an ear ointment, and little scrub pads for his facial folds and between his paws because he has a lot of "bacteria" that must be cleaned out. (sigh.) when we got home, he was exhausted and collapsed in the hallway by the front door and kitchen. I got ready for a coop shop!
this is the pretty house that the car was parked in front of when we went out. it has a lovely round stained glass window above the door. i'll have to include it better in a picture . . next time! i was going for the pumpkins and gourds in this shot. it's part of an apartment building . . a new construction that i actually like.
we tried to keep the grocery items to a minimum, but we were buying cider and other goodies for halloween (and some necessities that hadn't been bought in awhile) . . so it was a bit of a sizable shop.
afterwards, we delivered some groceries that janet needed to her home. the girls climbed up to the second floor window.
"oh," janet sighed as camille helped them up, "yes, let's show how easy it is to climb into our house!" such things we have to worry about in the city . .
back at home, korrina left for her unitarian universalist youth conference retreat in shelter rock, and m and c started working on their pumpkins.
i worked in the kitchen baking cookies.
the kitty is finished!
but the bulldog still needs a lot more work!
it was later than i liked when all was finally completed . . but they were very happy with the results.
