Tick Follow Up

The place on my back where the tick bit me is still red and swollen. What is totally weird is that it must have bit me in two other places before crawling over to the spot where i found it and pulled it off. I have these large red bumps on me that itch like crazy. But, no fever and no other symptoms. So i have been putting rubbing alcohol on them and I took a couple days of antibiotics – to be on the safe side.

So I am OK and much more vigilant about checking my dogs and myself each night for ticks.

Another Hot and Humid One

In a strange way I feel like I wasted a precious Saturday by not doing anything active. It was so awfully hot and humid that I just couldn’t bear to go outside any longer than needed to walk my dogs three times.

I walk them 3 times a day regardless of the weather. They need the outside for exercise and bladder relief. I need it for a chance to clear my head and build character.

It has been in the upper 90’s and low 100’s for a week. It was a good day to stay indoors and catch up with a little housework and some internet surfing.

Found some awesome photo blogs and links from them to others that were awesome, too. Several of them use a Nikon D300 camera for their work. I’m going to look into getting one – I’m so jealous.

It was a good day, although not very productive.

Happy New Year!

I am looking forward to a year of more healthy food choices and more outside activities. I promise to take my dogs outside for longer, faster walks and some romps across the field by the cabin as often as humanly possible.

Best wishes to you for a very Happy New Year!

Kennels

It’s past time to get a couple of kennels for the dogs. My yard is not fenced in and they are wanting out a lot already this summer. I just don’t have the time to keep taking them for constant walks. It is interrupting while I work and since I am writing a lot, it interrupts my train of thought. If I get them kennels, they can go outside and stay for a few hours in the morning and in the evening for fresh air.

These are covered and can keep them out of the direct sun and the rain as well.
