When I took Rusty, (the stray dog that showed up here, I gave to Dad, he came back) to the vet on Friday, to get him started on heart worm medicine, he tested heart worm positive. He went back to the vet and into the hospital on Monday night to started treatments on Tuesday. The kids and I went to pick him up on Thursday. He has to stay in his kennel for the next 4 weeks, that is the danger period for his heart to explode due to the damage from the worms if he exercises it too much. However, he is having as hard a time being separated from Hannah, as she is from him. Last night, Shawn decided it was harder on him to be shut up, and more of a risk, than for him to carry Rusty to Hannah's bed. So, they both were happy and had sweet dreams last night:) . He is very much a people person, and when he is in his kennel, he sits and pants. Anyway, we are hopefully on the road to recovery for him.
Yesterday Zach and I went mushroom hunting, we found 3! Very dry in the woods. We all went last week, and Shawn and Zach had much better luck and found a bowl full. So, I think mushroom hunting is over for another year already.
Today we have had a few showers, not enough to keep the kids from playing outside though. Frost hit a few times this past week, but yesterday was actually hot, and today is pretty warm.
Here is a picture of Rusty without any energy.
