You know, I can't help but think that after all of this planning for a tenant in that room that you're still going to end up with someone up there who is a total surprise and none of these rules and arrangements are going to stick.

"Just sayin'," to quote my pal Bobert.

One bandaged dog hanging out on the back porch - she was lying inside with her chin on the door step, poor dear. With it hot she's going to lie around outside or in, but outside she has Poppy for company and more stuff to watch. I'll try to keep her quiet and they'll spend the nights in. That should be interesting.

The vet was going to simply use liquid nitrogen to freeze the tissue behind the split toenail, but ended up digging out the nail bed and cauterizing with silver nitrate. The fleshy bit was too large for just freezing. She's a good girl, he used a local, and out of standard practice they put a muzzle on, but she's so patient they didn't need to. They called me back to see the work he had done, and there were several people standing around the table to help as he worked, but she just lay there quietly and enjoyed getting petted. So much for the fierce reputation pit bulls have. :)
