From my phone camera…
…Thursday afternoon…
…Bob in the motorhome so Bear could be in the yard.
8:17 p.m. on September 23, 2011 – the first day of Fall and it is 73F. It was 81 at the warmest late afternoon. Tomorrow it is forecast to maybe hit 90!
That’s just wrong!
I got to a stopping point shortly after 5 and found Bob near the front porch keeping an eye on a critter hole…lying in the grass like it was Summer!
He had been out all afternoon.
I brought him in so I could go out with Bear.
I sipped on a Friday night glass of wine while Bear chased squirrels and a warm wind sang in the tops of the pine trees.
The light looked like Fall but the air felt like Summer.
It’s wrong :)!
He doesn’t look so tough in that photo. It was a tough day, though.
Bear broke a molar and it was removed today. The roots of the molar were healthy. It was a job getting it out. Amazing to me, Bear was not acting uncomfortable WITH the broken tooth and it had been broken long enough that my clue that something was wrong was his breath smelled like a dead animal…yea.
It is now 7:30 p.m. Although he is still not quite 100%, we took a walk and he wanted to walk the loop so we did. He trotted around like normal, although I did have him on leash so he was bound my speed. He did want to come right inside and is sound asleep.
He had a gruel of chicken broth, quinoa and mashed potatoes for his supper and ate it all. I did give him his pain medication a bit ago, but I can’t say that he appeared to need it. One tough guy!
Bob…he was home alone until we got back mid-afternoon. It was cold and foggy this morning so he only went out briefly before we left, but it was sunny, clear and 62F when we returned so he enjoyed the late afternoon and early evening out and about. I will keep Bob in the boys room and Bear with me tonight. I feel bad doing that to Bob, but always want them close after a surgery so I know if there is any discomfort.
Hard…I have to be a little tough, too :)!
As noted, sunny, blue skies, gorgeous early almost Fall day.
