The Mama and the Daddy took me to my new yard today. My new house is not there yet but I saw some lizards and a kangaroo rat to chase. Maybe I’ll catch one sometime.

The Big Day Tomorrow
Tomorrow is when the Daddy takes me to the vet lady to have my stitches out. I have been good and don’t need to wear the plastic bonnet to keep me from licking and biting my tummy. After I get the stitches out, I will get a bath and fur trim. I’m getting a trim again because the hoomins are going to take me to the new house place where it’s hot. My long fur is OK when we go to the snow but not so much when it’s hot.

The Bear Grass
After Bear was diagnosed with a urinary tract and skin infection we discussed what might have been the cause. We came to the conclusion that the dirt patch serving as a dog run might to be to blame. We have occasionally seen Bear laying in the sun on the bare dirt.

We thought that if we installed some sod over the bare dirt that it would be less of a health hazard for Bear. So, last week we went to Lowe’s and bought enough sod to cover the dog run. Verna does her best to keep it green and we both make sure that messes are promptly cleaned up. Bear seems to like it better too.
Bear Report
It has been over a week since I had surgery on my tummy. The vet lady called to tell us there wasn’t any cancer and that I am going to be OK. Next week, I get my stitches out and then I get a bath and trim.
The Daddy says we’re going to go on another trip in the SUV. I like to go with the hoomins to where they will build my new house. Click on my picture to make me big.
Bear’s Progress Report
It has been three days since I had an operation at the vet place. I am feeling OK and can do most of the things I did before.
Yesterday morning, I started to feel shaky and was very nervous. I started to itch and was scratching my tummy. The hoomins looked at me and saw some red blotches on my shin that looked like hives. They took me back to the vet lady again.
She said I was having an allergic reaction to the pain pills they gave me. She gave me another shot and I started to feel better right away. The hoomins say the blotches are gone and I don’t feel nervous anymore. It made me tired, though, so I guess I’ll take a nap.
The Morning After The Vet Place
I had a good sleep last night and when I woke up I felt better. I got the Daddy up and he took me out for a walk. When the hoomins fed me, I ate all my breakfast and the milk the Mama gave me.
Later, we went to see the Grandma and she fed me a hot dog. I can take stairs OK and get in and out of the Daddy’s SUV. This is me in the SUV – Click to make me big.
OK it was a busy day so I’m going to take a nap.
