Good afternoon World! Welcome to our home! Yesterday's Beautiful Day

DAKOTA
AMPS 466

BIG bouncy boy today but after that beautiful run yesterday, I expected it. He's 'high sugar' icky feeling so sleeping a lot but otherwise, he's feeling well.

IT'S NOT STREP! From yesterday's condo:

...The day went downhill from our afternoon post - vet didn't tell me that this throat stuff is CONTAGIOUS! It's not really tonsillitis as they led me to believe, it's a severe sore throat, likely strep! Now we've got 2 more little dogs down with it and I know there'll be more as they've play with each other, shared water bowls, shared chew toys, etc. Altho' I wash my hands often, I don't imagine it wasn't enough. Even the cats can catch it...PEADOODLE! I'm cleaning like a mad woman and unsure how I'm going to isolate some of them for days until they're over it. I started these 2 on ab's and benadryl, watching for the slightest sign of the next one(s) starting the 'goose honking' sounds. I'm susceptible to strep and yes, we can catch it too if it's indeed strep!

No one is running fever, they would be if it was strep so it's just a bad sore throat/upper respiratory stuff. We've isolated the sick ones and disinfecting everything they use and touch including us when we hold and play with them. This isn't contagious to the cats so we're OK there too - MUCH better news than we thought yesterday. We've still got to keep from transferring germs to the well ones.

Second son and wife have finally decided on names for our expected twin grandbabies. The boy will be Mason, the girl will be Madison. Mom is still doing well, no problems altho' she's getting quite pregnant! Both babies are now well over 2 lbs each altho' Mason is almost 3 pounds. They're right on target for 28 weeks. They're not due until May - strange to have great-grandkids older than grandkids but she's 14 years younger than my son so still wanting a family. They have a baby shower this weekend - can't go as it's a 6 hour drive away.

Thoughts and prayers for Laura and Skinky continue, Mary and Smudge as she likely will let Smudge go today AND Melanie's (Ninja) family dealing with her loss.

HUGS to all that visit today! DANCE with us!
