Trek to Bass Lake

Though it was grey, sleety with treacherous footing, Jeff, the Fearsome Threesome and I ventured to Bass Lake. We were rewarded. Four swans graced its placid surface.

Dogs and Dentists

It's been the year everyone gets their teeth cleaned. Abby got hers done in August, Zac got his cleaned and several extracted (ouch) in October, and I'm planning to have Zoey's cleaned in December. That will be a really nice Christmas gift that she, Jeff and I can all appreciate.

Though boring and expensive, having your dogs' teeth cleaned is important to their health. Dogs can hide pain so well, and so many things such as minute fractures, are not obvious during a manual exam. A dental cleaning can bring all sorts of issues to light, and they can be fixed.

I felt bad when I realized how I kept expecting Zac to catch discs when he had fractured molars. He's all fixed up now, and next year, he'll be a disc-catching machine.
