Today is “run errands day” and one of the errands was go to the vet. Yes, once again, Squirt has a bladder stone. We saw it on the x-ray. Size-wise, it appears it is between a pea and a marble. Tuesday he goes in for surgery and a dental cleaning (might as well do both ends at one time). Unfortunately, he has had stones removed twice before and while we generally know what to expect when he comes home, they will put a 4-5 inch incision in him which is really big for such a little boy. Look for a very pampered pooch over the next couple of weeks.
Yesterday morning, we could see daylight while heading to work at 6:10am and it did not get dark until well after 10:30pm last night. The swing in the sun’s setting position is incredible between winter and summer. After dinner, we moved our patio furniture to the western deck and sat outside watching the scenery. Still had jackets on but it was wonderful.
Soon it is off to the gun shop. Robert is interested in getting a bear gun…whatever that may be…for when we walk and if we get an ATV and go to the back country. I’m OK with that as long as the kick doesn’t knock me on my butt. I have heard that if you actually do kill a bear due to defense of life and property (DLP for short), you have to haul the hide and skull back and give it to the state. Guess that requires a knife….oh and there is LOT of paperwork to fill out. I just hope we are never in that position.
The State of Alaska is allowing residents to vote for the design on the state quarter to be released in 2008. I, of course, voted for the dogs. :)
