Bear and me

Two is not three.

We should be three.

Bob is 5 minutes away but it seems like more sometimes.

Sometimes, I would like to just go and GET HIM HOME.

But.

All is going well, under the circumstances, for Bob.

And this challenging time for all of us will hopefully be just a memory soon.

Meanwhile.

Bear and me.

We have to live and work and walk and have treats.

We do.

This photo is from 8/17…last Saturday evening, from Bear’s and my evening walk.

Last weekend, there were people around the teepee and I didn’t realize that it was part of the campground until yesterday.

Last evening, after a very difficult day of worry over Bob (SILLY/STUPID…but there it is) and a full day of work and it was hot, etc., etc. – Bear and I went for our walk and I took the camera and hoped to see the rising moon and also to explore what this campground calls “the Nature Trail”.

Bear and I discovered that the “Nature Trail”, included the teepee and also that since there was no one else around…off leash it was, quiet and peaceful and watching the moon, enjoying the big sky and open views.

Bear and Me.

Bob progresses

Just a quick update…this morning’s report at 36 hours post-op: Bob was wanting to eat some of the gruel they made him – they are happy about that! Yesterday, they tube fed him as he was too sore to do much with his mouth**. They let him be a bit more awake today and say he does not seem too uncomfortable and is being Mr. Sociable with the head butting, purring, etc. The surgical sites are good and all is progressing normally.

There is a slight chance they will release him to me on Friday – one day at a time. I should be able to visit him tomorrow.

**The surgery Bob had is T.E.C.A.: total ear canal ablation.
