I sent yesterday’s blog in the evening because my internet service was down from early on and through most of the day. Thanks to friends who checked in, asking if I were okay and not, as one suggested, flat out beneath a haybale. Occasional internet difficulties make it impossible to publish early, and usually, I text delays to friends. Yesterday’s down was extra frustrating and made me forget to text.
Besides the internet trist, my mind was caught up with my elderly dog, Ranger. Yesterday afternoon, we returned to the vet for a blood panel recheck. Ranger still had a fever and a too-low white cell count; however, to outside appearances, he’s regained some quality of life, is more alert, knows what’s going on, wags his tail, and is willing to eat. We brought home additional antibiotics, hoping for more healing signs of his so far unidentifiable infection.
Today is the last of three days off from my part-time job at HD. My first three days back will be early-ins, and afterward, for a couple of weeks, will be later-ins.
Dear Friends: Ahead, eats for the critters and broken fence post repairs for me. Diana
