So this week has been full of crazy busy things. Clint and I leave in less than 30 minutes to go camping for the weekend! That will be nice to get away and just have fun. I'm going to try to learn how to ski this weekend. Pictures will be taken and a scrapbook will be made.
Poor Slinky has had a bad week. Earlier this week we found a tick on him. He wasn't very happy when we had to pull it off, because it was right under his front leg, like right in his little arm pit. It was red for a few days. Yesterday I noticed that he had several bumps on his head. Since we had already pulled a tick off once this week, Clint and I both thought it was ticks again. So we held him got the tweezers, and began to pull at the "ticks." Well needless to say it ended up with Slinky bleeding a bit on his head. That of course scared us, and we called the vet, because we thought the "tick" was still in him. The vet told us what to watch for and to bring him in first thing this morning. So we took him to the vet, only to find out that the bumps that we thought were ticks were actually scabs on little wounds on his head. That's when Clint remembered that our neighbor's cat had been hiding in the bushes in our back yard and when Slinky went over to it, it hit him in the head with his paw. Thus the bumps on his head. Clint thought he got Slinky away before the cat made contact, but he didn't. What we pulled off yesterday were the scabs from the cat's claws. Slinky has to take medicine for a week or so just to make sure that it's not infected. He also got his claws clipped, which he didn't like, and moved and the vet cut it too far, and he started bleeding.
Slinky is Clint's baby, so Clint was upset because Slinky was upset, so Clint didn't work today. He stayed home with Slinky so he wouldn't be in his kennel. Clint did finish the article for the B&B in Eureka Springs today while here with Slinky.
I'll post something Sunday (maybe) with pictures from this weekend.
Super Fun Campout. . . Here I come!
