As of today, “summer break” started in early March and is scheduled to go through September. Probably longer, if we’re being honest with ourselves.
We’ve been lucky to escape to the lake a couple of times and just returned from our one vacation for the summer. But after realizing how far behind I am on posting photos, that trip will have to wait for the next post.
Catch up time.
The big news from early spring: We brought Georgia (aka, Nugget, Princess, Sis, Lil’ Miss, Stink Butt, Lil’ Bit, G’Dawg…we could keep going) home.
In retrospect, we were so over the moon that she was finally home with us—and maybe because it had been so long since we had a puppy—we missed recognizing how sick she was. She was underweight, her coat was thin, and her belly wasn’t happy. At the time, our vet was inundated with new patients, fielding 50-75 calls a week for new COVID pets, and so it was a full week before she had her first check up.
Long story short, baby girl had some problems. After several weeks of high-powered antibiotics and other medicines, an enriched diet and tons of snuggles, she got healthy. Most importantly, she outgrew a troublesome heart murmur.
Guess we’re truly stuck with her now.
Brisket is mostly happy about the new arrangements with his new full-time playmate and snugglemate.
Sometime in June, I took some pictures that didn’t include Georgia. :D
Henry loves diving for treasure (quarters).
Oh, back to the puppy.
Then Father’s Day came. After much debate and discussion, we all agreed to break quarantine and gather at the farm for Father’s Day afternoon. I must have been so glad and distracted to be around family again that the only photo I took was of my measly appetizer contribution.
Kind of a disappointment. I mean, it was yummy, but far from the best part of the day.
For the 4th, we headed out to the lake with Nana and Rocket.
SPARKLERS! FIREWORKS! (All safe and socially distanced. And only two minor fires were started in the grass.)
Vacation photos post coming soon!
