Purple girl: November 4th
Well, I'm off to work again. I managed to get a few of the pages updated. Green Brown and Red. The rest tonight or over the course of the next couple days. Have a great weekend!
Yay! My new camera is here.... still not sure what all it can do but so far things seem to be working. Got a busy day planned and hopefully I'll a successful photo shoot! :-)
Wow... I feel like apologies are in order. I'm working on the pup pages but on top of dealing with a camera that gave up on me mid stream and a new one that takes about one clear shot every twenty I'm having a bit of trouble. I picked up a camera last week at Target that I had hoped would get me by until the one selected online could be delivered. I took the photos last week but after having to run into town unexpectedly I didn't have time to get them uploaded. I'm working on that task now. The photos aren't up to par with what I'm used to but they're what I've got. Fortunately the new and much improved model is scheduled to arrive tomorrow! Might take me a little time to master it but it's a point and shoot so shouldn't be too difficult. It came with great reviews and I'm anxious to get my hands on it. Maybe we'll have some nice week five photos! Hang in there.
Ha! It's always fun to see what YouTube has in store for us once we're finished with the video we intended to watch. Generally it's in some way related to the one we just watched. But not now! Oh No! Now we're subjected to criminal investigations, controversial reporters and a guy who wants to make America Great Again! ... Just can't seem to get away from it. :-) !!!
My Current one definitely has some issues.... :-( It seems my camera is on the fritz. And the timing sux. Had hoped to open up the individual pup pages this week but it's somewhat difficult to do with no photos. I looked online in hopes of quickly settling on one that I could get here early next week but there are just too many to choose from. If any one of you has a recommendation for a point and shoot camera that takes decent shots of moving subjects please provide some info on it. I'd like to stay somewhere in the $500.00 range -or less. Maybe a little more if it comes with a great recommendation. I went to Target today and picked up a simple camera in hopes I'd get enough shots to open the pages. I got the shots... their not the best. But they're what I have. I'm going to work on them now. Just wanted to get this out there.
Hi puppy people... I've been thinking about you and feeling like I've been slacking on the updates. I know by past comments at least a few of you are checking in regularly. I'll try and get back on track. Especially since the pups are going through some definite and noticeable changes now. Don't know how you all are doing with it, but it seems I allowed myself to get a bit drawn in to the political arena which is highly unusual for me. I've gotta say... all the hoopla around our upcoming election is really something! Everything is well here for the most part. The pups as you can see in the slide show below are growing like weeds. The past few days I've noticed and have enjoyed watching their first attempts to play. They bat one another and spend quite a bit of time gnawing on one another as well. They're barking and growling at each other and it's not uncommon for them to bark at me too. They routinely bark when I enter the bedroom upon my return home from work. Turning into watchdogs already! Blue boy is showing some drive as far as play is concerned. I threw a ball and a bone in their habitat and as well as seeming eager to play with the other pups he quickly displayed some interest in the ball too. The ridge of white hair I mentioned last week that separated his rust chest markings has disappeared. Not sure how I feel about that actually. I kinda liked it! In other news they had their first taste of mash last night. Just a get acquainted meal to see how they'd do with it. Smart little buggers dove right in! Their reward -two full meals today! I had an unexpected trip to the Vet with Red yesterday. Well... not unexpected by the time yesterday rolled around actually. Friday evening I noticed he had an area above his right eye that was slightly swollen. Didn't think too much about it at the time but by Saturday morning it was noticeably swollen. At the time I wondered if he'd been bit by something or maybe scratched by another pup. His eye itself looked ok. No redness or drainage, just a swollen upper lid. Unfortunately Saturday morning marked the 1st day of my work week which now runs Saturday through Monday. As a result I wasn't able to get to the Vet until yesterday. A judgement call I guess. Long story short, Red's eye was nearly swollen shut yesterday morning. He's now receiving oral antibiotics and steroids and is currently removed from the selection process until further assessment can be made. I feel reassured by the fact that his Vet didn't seem overly concerned -we have a follow up appointment in 2 weeks. Fortunately I was able to see a slight improvement within 24 hours so I think we're on the right track. I say judgement call because if he had shown any signs of distress I would have taken him to the small animal emergency clinic at the U. But he didn't. He continued to eat and play, have normal rest and wakeful periods etc etc. Fingers are crossed that he'll be healed up and ready to go with the rest of the pack... I'm actually hopeful he'll have a clean bill of health before the selection process begins. For now we just wait and see. I've included a somewhat close up photo of him so we can all monitor his progress in the upcoming days and weeks. |
