A toothache

Our Bill has a toothache.

Here is why -




See what is missing?


Yes, Bill has broken off one of his canine teeth.  Not sure how.  The only contributing factor is that he is a bug catcher and a noise often heard outside is his teeth clicking as he catches bugs.  Possibly he had cracked the tooth after repeated snaps and it finally broke off.  We don't know. What we do know is that he is having the remainder removed tomorrow.

Azule and Brook

It was time for deaf Azule's yearly check and her heartworm test so I decided to take blind and partly deaf Brook along for her heartworm test too. As we often do when going to the vet, we combine the trip with other things since the vet is located in the big city, about a 45 minute drive each way.

In between our errands, we had time to visit a trail which is along a river.  Years ago, I lived very close to this trial and walked it many, many times with Cairo.  It was nice to visit it again.


Due to the rain we've been having lately, all waterways are high and fast moving so being off leash was not an option.

We did find a calmer spot and Brook wandered in but got a bit scared when she stepped in a deep spot.  


No harm done and we continued to explore.


Azule wore her West Virginia bandana and Brook wore her bright pink one.


In the background, the trial continues along and there is a low wooden walkway over the river and under the six lane highway.  On this visit we didn't have enough time to walk that far but will the next time.


Azule's check up went very well and her heartworm test, as well as Brook's, was negative.
