Diary 4/4/11

Busy day, no gardening. Cleaning up around here for a birthday get together this weekend. Ended up taking Garden Dog to the vet and running a few other errands.  Garden Dog had been coughing over the weekend.  He had a rash on his sides and his elbow pad is not getting better.  He also needed a rabies shot if possible.  The coughing was a residual effect of crunching a T-bone steak bone into little bits and swallowing.  The rash was as I had read online, "something boxer's get".  The elbow will be operated on on April 25th, so until then keep clean and doctor as you can.  He did get the shot and a nice shiny tag for his red collar which he wears when he goes out.  It all turned out well, but busy day for the Mama Dog.
