We took both of the dogs with us on a day trip to Olympia, Washington this weekend and Suki did wonderfully. She was quiet in the car, even while Frodo whined and cried for most of the drive, and when we stopped at the sculpture park and walked around she was her curious little self. She stopped and sniffed everything, while we were busy keeping Frodo from peeing on the art.
Her favorite section (and Frodo's least favorite) of the large sculpture park was the "Sound Garden" which featured about 10 different pieces of sculpture that emitted sounds when you hit them with a mallet. The photo shown is of Suki trying to figure out what the heck Troy is doing to make the sound she is hearing. Other photos show Frodo straining at his leash to get away from the noisemakers.
Although Suki is still bleeding, we are moving into week three and I'm guessing that by the end of the week she'll finish up her season. Her vet visit that was scheduled for today (to do a skin scrape to check on the mange) is postponed until next Monday. I want to wait for the scrape until she's done with her season and ready for the spay. Although the mange is still present, it seems to be a bit better and when the heat is over I'm guessing there will be a big improvement as her hormones settle down.
So here's the schedule that I'm pretty sure will work out:
- Skin scrape on the 28th
- Spay surgery sometime the week of the 28th
- 5-7 days of recovery
- Fly home to her new family
Since we likely will have a new foster dog flying here this coming Sunday from the Rat Terrier Jamboree, things are going to be busy here. I just don't know how those wonderful, crazy, Ratbone foster parents with 5 plus fosters do it. They have much more patience than I do, that's for sure.
