    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.

    She was sad that visiting family left, then happy to lick our dinner plates, then stressed out by thunder and lightning. She climbed on the couch and curled up tight next to me and actually calmed down! Usually she’s a scared panting mess for hours.

    My cat pooped right outside her exclusive litterbox I just cleaned yesterday, and is acting like everything is fine. 😾

    Mine has shit 5 times today before 3pm. It’s about as firm as chocolate frosty that’s been sitting out for awhile but at least there is no blood.

        No, she gets hemorraghic gastric enteritis. We know she has a malabsorption issue and she’s on B12 supplements to see if they help. She doesn’t have atypical Addison’s so we’re working on diet to manage inflammation. She’s a new rescue that spent her 6 years as breeding stock in a puppy mill. So didn’t exactly have good diet or care.

    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.

    My wife and our pupper and I just moved back in with my mom yesterday. Sister’s cats are here too. Skye REALLY wants to be friends with them but they’re scared of the big fluffy golden cloud 😭 But she’s at least happy to have special gramma scritches back on tap, and her favorite cheese dealer.
