Monday was like Christmas, I got three packages in the mail and came home to a bouquet of flowers. I was a bit worried the packages wouldn't get here in time for Silas' birthday and was surprised they got here so fast. I ordered some carob powder (I couldn't find any unsweetened carob chips that were reasonably priced) and a dog safe frosting mix that I will use for his special birthday treat. I am still waiting on one more present to arrive.
What a week! Yes, I do realize that today is only Tuesday. On Saturday I took Silas to the dog park where he decided it would be a good idea to wrestle with a St Bernard. (Silas has an ego problem and thinks he is a big dog) They had fun, a lot of fun! Maybe a little too much fun because after one of the times the rolled around Silas had a bit of trouble getting up as quickly as he wanted to and then started to limp slightly. He has a loose knee that used to pop out of place and would correct its self and he would be fine within 24 hours or maybe two days tops. This morning it was still bothering him so I called the vet. Silas had to go in for a check up and his knee is swollen but didn't seem to cause him a lot of pain when the vet was moving it. They aren't for sure but suspect an acl injury. He was put on puppy bed rest for 7 days and given a pain med with an anti inflammatory and if that doesn't help and he is still limping or his leg gets stiff then we have to bring him back in for x-rays and possibly surgery. The vet also suggested we up Silas' acid reliever to every 12 hours. (He throw up twice Saturday night but I did forgot to give him the acid reliever before bed and has thrown up each morning since) He also said he doesn't see a problem with switching him to adult food although I really wanted to wait until 18 months to switch we might have to do it sooner.

Our dog is a pill popper

Present number one and he can't have it until his leg has completely healed

My flowers! Kevin even had them set in the spot I like to put them in, he's so good.

This is what we picked form the garden today except the pineapple I bought that at the store and the jars are what we canned.
