Sunshine and Light

Good Grief

Poor Fredly-medley, winter is not coming easily to him so far. For one thing, when we had to take him to the vet for the cyst on his side, they shave him down. We call it the $300 haircut. The temps have been...brisk. The last few days were around 20 degrees, but today we were at 14 degrees. I've started putting one of Chris's cycling vests on him to try to give that big shaved spot some coverage. Poor guy, neither of us ever thought it would come to him having to wear cute little outfits. Hopefully this is a short term issue.

The other danger of winter for the big lug is salt. He has horrible problems with rock salt in his paws. Once that happens, he stands still with one paw lifted as high as he can get it. This morning I brushed the rock salt out of his right front paw. Then he lifted his right rear paw. Then his left front. I just called it a day. Ginger had relieved herself, and none of us were having any fun. We opted to go home and eat instead.

Anybody south of the Mason-Dixon want to hire a bike mechanic and an IT project management type? I'm not sure I can stand 4 more months of this.
