The Vet Place

The Daddy took me to the Vet Place this morning. When I got there, they weighed me then took me into a room where they shaved off my fur just above my right forepaw. Then they gave me a shot and then I felt like taking a nap. When I woke up my legs were wobbly and my tummy hurt. They gave me a pill to make it better though. The Vet Lady said I would be OK and I should rest for a couple of weeks.

Later, the hoomins came and got me and took me home. I didn’t feel like doing anything so I laid down to take another nap.

Desert Morning

One of the most beautiful things about the Arizona Desert is the occasional spectacular sunrises and sunsets. This sunrise silhouettes a couple of palms and an ocotillo with sunbeams lighting the morning sky. Click on the image to see full sized.

Colorado River Egrets

We passed along the Colorado River on the Arizona side from Parker to Ehrenberg this afternoon. There were several marshes along the route, mostly along irrigation canals for the local agriculture. At one point, I observed some white birds in flight near the canals. We passed a brood of Cattle Egrets scurrying behind their mom. I think that’s dad in the air above.

Lake Pleasant Panorama

We had some spare time today, so we decided to take a drive out to Lake Pleasant in North Maricopa County, Arizona. It was really too hot to have a picnic like we originally intended, so we drove up to the visitors center and took some pictures. I made this panoramic image that shows only a portion of the lake from Bass Bay on the left to the New Waddell Dam on the right. Click on the thumbnail image for the full panorama – remember to use the scroll bars to pan the image left and right.
