Musings

  • I swear I spent hours yesterday sweeping and mopping the floors.  You couldn’t tell today, but I swear I did.
  • Took the new-to-us dog to the vet to day to get checked out.
    • No chip, so unless someone steps forward, she’s going to be our dog.  Her name is Derby.
    • No worms, and except for her weight, she’s in good health.
    • She’s not a lab puppy.  Rather, she’s a lab-beagle mix, and she’s between 2 and 3 years old.
    • One of the reasons she’s so scrawny is that she probably just finished weening a litter of pups.  She’s also coming back into heat.
    • In related news, she goes back to the vet next Thursday morning to get spayed.
  • We formally introduced Derby to Blue and Moonshine after we were she was healthy.
  • There’s some “I’m the Alpha!” posturing, but I don’t think integrating her into the family will be a problem.
  • She eats like a stray.  Eat, look, eat, look.  We also need to work on her not begging and trying to snatch food from us. It just takes time.
  • A quote to have a professional come out and trap the stinky critter came to $325, because skunk.

      Unfortunately, no. People are keeping a look out for them. If she was still nursing, it couldn’t have been their primary nutrition. The vet expressed a bit, but there wasn’t much there.
