Snowing, then warmup


It has been snowing, intermittently, for a few days. Yesterday the windchills were below zero and the winds were bitter. The dogs have been enjoying sausage soup at bedtime. But, Saturday we are due for temps near 40 degrees.

Sulatna is due for a vet check this afternoon. She is an excellent, although sad, patient. She is only allowed upstairs and she misses her basement den. She will be restricted in activity for 21 days. For a free running, happy spirited dog , this is a major adjustment. We do not yet have the histology report on her mass removal.

The other current house dogs are also responding well to the tight quarters and furniture barriers separating them from each other. The Christmas tree will have to wait as, at the moment, that corner is a hospital ward for Sulatna.

Tough and smart Liller (in photo) is one of the restricted house dogs. She will be very happy to rejoin her family soon. They are posturing for dominance in her absence and I've moved them around a bit. She'll sort it out when she's back to health. The good news is that her most recent surgery results showed no more malignancy.
