Skywatch Friday - February 21, 2025
Pacific Coast Range (from a parking lot near Starbucks). Soon there will be building in that lot, if they are tall I guess the view will be gone. There are other places to see it though!
Thankfully the snow is gone! It's been raining, so I still have puddles and mud in the far back. Mickey splashes through at full speed headed to the back fence in case there's a cat lurking in the pyracantha. The calico next door, Penny, spends a lot of time in my yard. He likes Penny, other cats cause him to be quite loud! He got very muddy Monday morning, right before I dropped him off at the vet for vaccines, nail trimming, and to have nasty mats cut out. I felt terrible leaving him for them so wet muddy. He will NOT let me near him with scissors or nail clippers. They get near him, he raises his lips in a silent snarl. I back off. So, he got sedated. He also developed a fear of getting in the car. Suddenly, no reason, just refused. So, we had to distract him, tossed a quilt over his head before he knew what was happening, and my son lifted him in. Repeated on the return trip. He sleep the next two days, and obviously felt a bit off, refusing treats. Like some of us do after a 'flu shot! Mickey will remember and next time it will be a big thing. Pets... sigh... still, I wouldn't be without a dog!

ReplyDeleteAmazing skies , Dogy pic lovely
ReplyDeleteNice view.
ReplyDeletePoor dog, such an ordeal.
Poor Mickey, I hope he adjusts quickly :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome boy! Our last dog had to be muzzled for nail trimming or any procedure. Our current dog is mellow and tolerates it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the sudden hate of the car. I guess he's associating bad things with car trips now.
