Wordless Wednesday

Friday Fragments - August 10

Friday Fragments - Episode 210

• Work gets in the way of blogging.  I really need to be more consistant with blogging!
• Work has been getting to me lately - how do you deal with work stress?
• 2 weeks until the start of a 2 week vacation!
• Zed is finally getting better from his setback from the beach.  He was licking his paws so much, we got him on a strong anti-itch med for a few days and it seemed to help.
• I realized last week that right now, we can describe Zed as a black with white dog.  Soon it will be white with black dog.  He is getting so white.  The white just shows up throughout his body (not just his face) and keeps expanding.  Luckily, it's just his fur, he doesn't act like he's getting old (we believe he's 7-8 years old).

• Since Esa's last bath, she has this little curl in her fur.  It's so cute - it's the only curl on her body - the rest of her fur is straight.  I'll try to get a picture of it & add it on here.
