It's shaping up to be another busy weekend. We went up to the property today and got some more clearing for the driveway done. It is starting to look like we could get the driveway in soon. We need to get a bulldozer up there to level the driveway some and move some of the dirt to where it is needed for making it possible to get into and out of the property with the truck and trailer so the dogs can all go with us next winter!!
We had rain most of the night last night so we probably won't get to mow lawn today, but hopefully, tomorrow will dawn with the bright sunlight we have had the last couple of weeks so we can get the lawn mowed.
Let's see, what else has happened recently to report on... Panzer is healing nicely and will need to get her staples out sometime this week. That means she can go back out to a regular pen soon. She has been living in the heated barn pen...with Gateway. Seems Gateway sliced open a pad when he was fence fighting with Butternut Thursday night. We got it cleaned up and put some homeopathic wound care stuff on it. Need to do that again today.
Emenem got a bath yesterday with the medicated soap for his itchiness. He seems more itchy than usual right now. I found a couple of hotspots on him, but not what I expected with how itchy he is. We got those areas cleaned up and we are using an antibiotic spray on them daily. He has been started on phenobarbetol in an attempt to control the small seizures he was starting to have frequently. He seems so have gotten itchier after going on the phenobarb. I am going to contact another vet that we occasionally take the dogs to just to see if she has any other suggestions on his itchiness. I also wonder if it is something in the house that is keeping him as itchy as he is. So, we are planning to take the carpet out of the living room soon.
That will start another project... that of laying the oak laminant flooring we bought a month or so ago! I am also going to pull the paneling off the walls when we get this project going. We are still trying to figure out what to do on the floor in the hallway. We have decided against putting the laminage flooring in the hallway because that is where we keep the many litter of pups with Momma Dogs while thye are young. I really don't want to ruin the laminate flooring that quickly so we are thinking of putting tile or just vinyl in the hallway and into the laundry room area... which, in this process will likely be moved to!! Boy, we have lots of work ahead of us and summer is half over!! We need to get to work!
Well, I had better get going and get something else done today!
Happy Trails!
