pupdate!

the pup is doing pretty well. I've been focusing on getting her eating/meds schedule down, and honestly, I've been afraid to post anything for fear her good health would change. Blogs can be intimidating that way, fo r me, anyway - I want to have good news, always. And so I do, mostly, luckily.

I had thought that I wouldn't take her back to the U Vet, because it's so scary for her. She's been so strong lately, though, that I think it'll be ok, if I can keep her visit simple. They do like to do the tests. Hours and hours of waiting, testing, conferring - I just want to get her in, check her over, take the blood, and out. We'll see if that happens.

Spring is taking its sweet time, as usual. I have a new feeder for the finches, and they've finally discovered it! Juncos and black-capped chickadees are loving it too. I've been feeding all my critters this year, and I think it's paid off. I feed the squirrels corn, and the rabbits get alphalfa pellets, resulting in my shrubs not being nibbled to bits! And I have suet for the woodpeckers, adn sunflower seeds for the jays and cardinals, and mix for everyone else. It's a regular Old Country Buffet. Without the fried okra.
