Hilda and Hocking Hills

This all because of Shiyh my Chinese friend. She read my blog and I'm sure many do and just forget to comment but when you comment I know you are out there.

My mama dog Hilda has been afflicted with hypersensitivity to fleas which results in her pulling her hair out. She also had a hotspot on her tail. The vet shaved even more and so now she looks strange. She is on antibiotics and stearoids to stop the itch. She is much calmer and chewing less. She may become our inside dog since the fleas are plentiful this year, despite the flea killer stuff.

The rain in Indiana falls mainly on the mud. We aren't inundated like Arkansas but it rains about every 2 days lately. The house smells of mildew and I have been attacking with bleach. There is a fan going in the crawl space.

Next week I go on a mini-vacation with an old friend. Kim and I are going to Ohio. We are staying in a cabin in Hocking Hills, south of Columbus. There is a hottub on the porch. I think I'll be able to manage somehow. Our respective spouses will remain at home with their respective animals. We did a trip to Michigan 2 years ago and I didn't want to come home. It was so peaceful and relaxing.

Enjoy your trip Ms Rose! :)
I don't know much about US's history, but I hope the distance to Ohio from Indiana won't be too long. I know your legs are getting better the last time I heard about them but its better to be safe.

Have lots of fun!
Your mama dog looks very lonely.. I hope the killer stuffs will cure her itch so she can go out and play with the others. I hope your black ones are doing good. hehe. I forgot their names! :(


Bon Voyage for your trip! xxxx
