So, Auggie…what does the other guy look like???

I took this photo of Auggie and intended to write about how he watched and looked and was aware…

Auggie has alerted me to the skunk several times…ahead of Bear.

Uh-OH.

Auggie roared into the house and immediately hid, then slunk around checking out windows and hid again. I knew something had scared him.

When he’d calmed a bit, I picked him up and thought…”gee, you have ‘stickies’ all over your face.

Not stickies…wounds.

I phoned the ER to find out what to use to clean the wounds which I described as punctures.

They said bring him in.

We went.

I was told the wounds were abrasions, not punctures.

We got antibiotics.

No damage to Auggie’s eyes and all vitals good.

“Mama, you are a worry-wart!”

Yea-yea-yea. We’ll see how the next few days go. The Auggie boy will be confined to quarters until we know that he is tolerating the antibiotic.

Sleeping Cuties

We came through the 4th very well. Noise was not near as bad as some years. Bear doesn’t like it but does not get as upset as Karl did…a Benadryl, some of my T’s under his head (from the laundry basket…scent of Mama!) and he settled. Auggie was unphased…

I went right back to sleep after Bear settled and woke rested versus years past when I did not get near normal sleep and was tired and grumpy on the 5th. Ultimately, we did well and can enjoy the rest of the weekend!.
