Friday, the 23rd
started out a bit nippy with the wind, but by afternoon we
didn't care. Got up to 60!!
Pictured above,

Martins will be driving over from Seiling, Oklahoma
tomorrow. Pictured to the left is Ben's finished feed
"rickshaw" - turns on a dime and is balanced up! Yep,

Our good buddy,
Ed Hamersley of Walker, Missouri stopped in with - what
else??? but dogs! He and Ben spent a nice crisp
sunny afternoon, Thursday, January 22nd working young dogs.
Leslie thought
Ben was the king of duct tape, but she found out that Ed,
who "winterized" his dog box with duct tape, is pretty durn
clever too! |

Leslie's dog
Slingshot was sick Wednesday night. Side of face swelled up down
into brisket area and temperature shot up to above 104.0. The
vet had her treat him to reduce the fever Wednesday night and
after examining him Thursday morning, kept Sling for surgery to
open and drain a localized abscess that went from the base of
the ear down across cheek to 1 1/2 inches behind jaw and down
into the throat area. It's hard to see from the photos, but
Sling's incision is about 6 inches long with drain holes at top
and bottom. He still has considerable swelling, but nothing like
before the surgery.
What happened??? Your guess is as good
as ours. Leslie thought he might have been kicked in that area
on Monday. It also could have been a puncture of some sort. It
happened pretty quick and, of course, after regular office
hours! But he's on the mend now. Ed had the same
type of thing happen to a dog of his last week and surgery was
the treatment. He doesn't know what or why either.
Leslie forgot to ask him if he's doing hot epsom salt packs on
his dog too :>)) |
