Home, Sick....

So I've been home sick for the past 2 days....one day was nice, 2 days is a little much. But I felt worse this morning when I tried to get ready. So anyways, here we are. Tink has been a fabulous snuggler lately and I'm sure she is a major contributing factor to my better spirits and hopefully improved health very soon.

I've noticed that Tink has been rolling on her back some mornings which is a big deal for this little girl! It used to be a part of her morning routine and she stopped for a long while during the winter. She travels up the stairs and walks around the block when the weather is nice with little issue.

When we went to visit Lindsay and Jason last weekend we tried out a new travel crate with Tink while we went to church and then again while we went to the Voice of Hope concert. And after the second time in the crate, I noticed redness on the outside of her eye and on the top of her head. She had rubbed her skin raw from nesting and pacing and moving so much again the fabric of the crate...She looked like she had been beat up or something and I felt terrible. So of course we cleaned her bumps and such. I used a tea tree oil antiseptic cream on her (very carefully of course!) and wouldn't you know, within days everything has healed up nicely and she doesn't look like a train wreck!

For a while we've been very busy with home visits and such which was great as we were able to move a lot of dogs in one month's time. We seem to have slowed quite a bit, so send in your applications to adopt some of the fabulous dogs that we have available through NEBTR! I need more home visits to set up so these dogs can get moving!

Ok, it might be time for another nap now...
