We are still here. We haven't washed away in the rain. Hubby did have the birthday I mentioned in the last post.
I finally caught a picture of the illusive hummingbird. I sat outside for quite awhile with camera in hand...no hummingbird...tried again...still no hummingbird. But every time I came in and peeked out the window, there he/she was. Finally I had to settle for a picture through the window.
Two weeks ago, our Chihuahua Rylie was injured badly by the neighbors greyhounds. They were walking them because they had just had a patio poured and couldn't let them out back. Our other neighbor (house on corner) on the other side has a black metal fence, and when I let Rylie out to potty, she saw them in the road and went through both sides of their fence to get to them. By the time I made it around the house they had already hurt her. She was yelping and flopping on the side of the road with a big gash on her back. Thankfully she had no broken bones, they put 16 stitches in her back, 2 on her shoulder and 1 on the puncture wound on her throat. She ended up back at the vet, about a week later, because of infection. The cleaned it up and put in drains (don't know why they didn't do this the first time). She also had a little dead tissue behind her front leg. She stayed at the vets until Tuesday morning. I hope she is able to heal now without any more problems. She goes back for a check-up Monday.
I hope every one has a great 4th of July! We are planning to grill some burgers and hot dogs.
Take care,
Sheila
