It's Tough To Be Me

Beautiful Day for an Outing....

Finally, the rain has stopped, the humidity gone, the air is much cooler & a pawsome fall breeze is blowing. All signs pointing to a morning outing...Oskar's leg is about 80% back to normal.....our walks are slower & a bit shorter.

But today....we parked behind the community centre (a short drive from home)...



We were so excited...acting like silly puppies...sniffin & peein' on everything!





We even decided to stroll on the sidewalk a bit...we had a blast! Cars going by were honking hello to us!



On the way home, Mama wanted to check out the local pumpkin farm...wowsers...that`s a lotta pumpkins!!!





And lots of gourds..






We will come back this weekend, when Dad join us & pick up our pumpkins. Mama wants a couple of white ones too & thinks it`s time for us to grow pumpkins again in our garden!

Happy September!!!

A Tale of A Tail....

Can you see where the fur has gone off my tail? I don't know where it went...it was there the last time I checked!




Dr. Condon said it wasn't anything too serious & prescribed a cortisteriod cream.

Hmmm...the tale of the missing tail fur...sounds like a good name for a book! Anybody heard of a nekkid tail condition?

The Importance of a Pet First Aid Kit

 

 

Having the proper items to care for Oskar's surgery incision made me thankful I took a pet first aid course &  prompted me to purchase a pet first aid kit.

I purchased our kit at Wal Mart, but you could do your own in a basket or any container.  We also added a tube of antibiotic cream (Polysporin).  An important reminder........ replenish the kit, as required.

Now, all that being said....ask me if we have a "human| first aid kit?  Guess we know who are higher on the food chain in our house!   :)

New Bandage - And a Loose Turd!!

We were at Dr. Condon's office bright & early this morning, for a check of Osk's incision & fresh bandage.  Standing at the desk, with Oskar under my arm...a turd suddenly appeared on the floor! 
Yep...I think he was shaking so hard...he shook a turd out!!  And it gets better...as I step to move...yep...I stepped in it!  Poor Osk....he really gets scared at the vet's.   I swear I heard him snicker....

His bandage was removed & Dr. Condon wanted to keep it off, as the air is good for it...but we are going to remove it tomorrow instead.  We will have to keep a watchful eye, to make certain Osk doesn't lick or chew on his paw.  At night, I think we will bandage it & keep it open during the day. 

He is doing really well...sleeping most of today...which is good...he needs to recuperate.
