Has been broiling here in Appalachia this last week. Brought the dogs in even when they wished to be out. Chickens seem ok. They're under the shade of trees. Some digging out holes in their run to keep cool.

Last week our old girl got snakebit. We'd just spotted a copperhead the week prior -the first venomous snake we'd ever seen anywhere near our place. Relieved she bounced back quickly. Swelling down after a day. Glad to have had some leftover antibiotic that kept the nasty wound at the bite from getting worse.

Our dog was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, so we're sad. His meds are definitely helping, and he's still excited whenever the plumbers visit.

I love that he has no idea. The veterinarian said he can have as much dog-safe table scraps as he wants.

I love that he loves the plumbers.

She has some kind of eye infection. Got her checked by a vet.
