Pictures: Ruthie's tail after the fire.
Dave went in for his daily shot Saturday. He did get lab on Friday but we haven't heard anything. I think he'll also gets lab on Monday and Tuesday. The clinic is keeping a close tab on everything to ensure counts will be high enough for chemo Thursday (if possible). Although he's soooooo tired ... he's driving to get his shots and small trips to the grocery store, cleaning up dishes once a day (or so), made a camp fire Saturday and smoked some pork for dinner. I think he's doing a great job, but I know it's getting harder for him.
So let's get to the fire. Tim, Joni and my mom came over for a fire and din-din. The fire was great with extra wood added often to keep us warm. All of a sudden Tim shouted Ruthie's name and started to pull her toward us. My heart dropped when I heard her name. The smell of burning hair filled the air... she had laid her tail right in the fire. Tim said he heard something "sizzling". The pictures above show there is very little hair left on one side of her tail...thankfully no major injuries. We'll have to see if we can trim it for her. Hopefully hair will grow back; hopefully we can keep her from doing the same thing again.
This weekend has also been focused on getting ready for my annual Christmas Cookie Exchange party. I thought about canceling it this year, with everything that's going on.... but we should have a normal holiday (as normal as possible). So cleaning and decorating is a another project ......
