Bear is fine, but we did have an unplanned trip to the vet.

Bear was running toward me and suddenly did a kind of half somersault, half roll and came up shaking his head violently.

Foxtails are everywhere and I check both Bear and Auggie’s ears as it is easy to get them out of the outer part…

By noon, Bear was still obviously uncomfortable and I couldn’t see anything so off we went.

It WAS a foxtail and it was so far in, they had to sedate Bear to get it out.

Between the heat (90F), anxiety and the sedative, Bear was done by the time we got home.

Auggie went out but he’s not a heat guy either and he was soon back in. He flops down just inside the door like he is so tired and hot that he just cannot go further.

Despite the hard day, Bear got up to check on Auggie.

That porcelain…it is nice and cool – that’s the next place Auggie goes to cool off.

I succumbed to a glass of wine or 2 and an early night!
