Cold weather is back, and pets and their people must be staying snuggled safely in their dens.  Our clinic was strangely empty today, especially after our busy past few weeks.  It was a nice break since Bea, mother and I got to sleep in.  Actually the new clinic was the patient today.  Mr. Kirk came in to "dress it up" as mother would say.  I sniffed around but didn't see a single new dress in the place, but things sure do look different.  Mother says change is good.  Bea says nothing good comes when things change, and likes to have the exact same routine day in and day out.  I still haven't made up my mind yet.  I have smelled some of the good snacks closer to the ground, so I think change might be good after all.

We did get updates from some of our recent visitors.  Turns out that Teagan the golden retriever didn't have cancer after all.  Lots of tests were done, and so far the humans seem really sure what Teagan doesn't have, but no one really knows what she does have.  Teagan doesn't mind too much.  The look of relief on her parents face when they found out it wasn't cancer has kept her in good spirits despite it all. 




Donatello came back for another black and white picture of his leg.  Mother says "it looks good" and for the first time in a month, Donatello did not have to have a wrap on his leg.  He was ecstatic.  "You don't know how hard it's been to do my ninja moves with that thing on my leg.  Wait 'til they see what I can do now!" he beamed as he trotted home.  There are some things I just don't share with mother, no point in worrying her.

One final update, Shadow's test on her yellow marking liquid came back free of the bugs.  So Sweet Sally bought Shadow a big bag of new food to keep the crystals away.  Wonder what I have to do to make some crystals in my marking liquid?
