OMG

The USGS said in its aftershock forecast that there will be between 63 and 260 aftershocks with a magnitude of 3.0 or greater over the next seven days. There is a 4% chance of one with a magnitude of 6.5 or more.

Poor puppy. Does she seem worried or in pain? Or just pooping a lot?

You said she was still drinking so dehydration shouldn’t be an issue. Not fun.

Doesn't appear to be in pain... just really soft, slightly runny stool. Appetite is okay... not as good as normal, but she eventually eats both her meals. No... not fun at all. She liked the pumpkin so I should soon know if it helps.

I got sad news from a good friend of mine today.  Her foxhound passed away suddenly of a heart attack a few days ago   

On a brighter note... I got my stimulus check today, along with my unemployment debit card.    So I finally have some funds coming in, even if it wasn't everything I'm owed.  I signed up for direct deposit on the website, but at least I have something. I can withdraw the cash and deposit it into my checking account. 

Sorry for your friend but very pleased for you. Now you can buy treats for the herd.

So it's Friday, and I have uploaded my 7th photograph in my challenge to take and upload a new black and white photograph every week for 52 weeks.

I have named this one: "Cottage Garden (3) - Old tree stump"

Wow, what incredible depth and texture.

The poop patrol continues. Talked to my vet again and she says if she's not better by Monday, to call and she will give her an antibiotic. Says it's likely large bowel issue. Prescribed pumpkin for her, and my daughter has just delivered it for me... gotta go...  

Wait ... if the vet prescribed pumpkin for Cookie why did your daughter deliver it for you? I do hope she's improved soon, Cookie not your daughter though I wish her well too.

I'm well enough thank you. After an early morning walk with the pup I spent a couple of hours laying paving stones as a walkway between Mum's and her neighbors. Despite having a bit of headache I was able to lay about a quarter of the stones before the heat became too much. They are pleased with the results so far as am I. I'm taking a break from the job tomorrow to rest as working today aggravated the migraine plus the shoulder I injured in the car accident in January is not taking kindly to the physical stress I'm putting it under.

Thistle went swimming in the pond today. I was not best pleased as he'd just had a bath yesterday afternoon. Despite being eight years-old this was his first time in the water. Mum brought him out to me as I was finishing my morning labors. He was on his leash which is standard for him until the neighbor openned their door and left their lab pup out off leash. He is terrible about leashing the pup when he brings her out. She tends to swarm all over Thistle as she's not well controlled. I unclipped Thistle so the two dogs wouldn't become tangled in his leash and to allow him more freedom to escape from her. Next thing we know about six of the local ducks come wandering down the backlawns and Thistle and Pippin take off after them. The ducks took flight headed for the pond with the dogs sprinting in pursuit along the bank. About 100 feet down the pond the ducks landed and Thistle took a flying leap after them. He covered a good 6-8 feet before he landed with a splash. When he realized he wasn't going to catch the ducks he turned around and swam back to the bank and climbed out as nice as you please. He got well rinsed with the garden hose and then sprawled in the sunshine to dry. That was his adventure for the day.

Not that eight is particularly old for a dog, I couldn't help but think about the old adage about old dogs and new tricks when I read that...
