Some warm, sunny fall days!
A little bit of color...but not much yet.
It's nice hiking weather.
But our regular hikes are over for a while...with Pepita, anyway. She was spayed on Thursday morning. She was one sad pup...spay instructions are NO hiking, running, roughhousing, jumping, or climbing...for two weeks. No walks, no fetch, no jumping up on the couch...nothing.
She had to wear a post-surgery suit to keep her away from her stitches. The website we ordered the suit from said to prioritize body length over other dimensions, but because she's part dachshund, she has a really long body. Because she's part pug, she has a stocky chest. The suit wasn't a great fit.
I had a lot of trouble getting the velcro straps off and on, although Todd got really good at it. We ended up ordering a blow-up donut.
It's been a rough few days! She doesn't seem to be very tender, but her pain meds (a prescription NSAID) caused diarrhea. Particularly at night. Because I'm such a light sleeper (and a terrible one...if I get woken up, I can't get back to sleep), Todd volunteered to sleep on the couch and take Pepita outside every hour all...night...long. He's on day #3 and is really feeling it! Once I realized that there was a meds connection, I stopped giving her the pills. We're cautiously optimistic that tonight will be a little bit easier!
Somehow, amid the chaos, I finished the Halloween decorating. Same stuff every year! I can't help it...I like what I like.
A little bit of activity on the trail cams!
On the last video...I read that fawns bang on their moms' udders to stimulate milk flow. Interesting! We also saw skunks, possums, and coyotes on the cams.
Looking forward to more of the same...have a great week!
