Maggie is feeling better

Maggie's system is back on track after two days of pills.  Yay!  She's learning "leave it" but that only works when we actually see her starting to suck up something she's found. The vet gave us a second week supply of meds in case she has another episode while we are traveling. The diagnosis was giardia.  Common, apparently, with dogs who will eat anything.  We don't remember having this problem with our other dogs. 

We are going to Long Beach tomorrow to see Steph and Pierce.  Steph is making homemade pizza from her dad's recipe.  I'm taking brownies for a really wholesome, good for ya lunch😊

We are watching the weather for next week. A system with cold rain is due the day before and day of our scheduled departure.  We just may leave a day or two early to keep from packing up in the rain and mud. We will decide Monday or Tuesday.  We have had two days of rain since the 19th of Dec - very unusual but nice for us.  Now it's decided to rain again and on our departure day. Go Figure. 

We've had to change our walking route. We got stopped yesterday by a park ranger when we left the campground and were walking down the back road along the day-use lake to the office to check for mail. We've done this walk every day since the first of December. It seems dogs aren't allowed past the campground.  Yes, there are signs in the park and playground but we (and others) always stay on the road and sidewalk and no one has said anything.  We were told there's too much abuse of the rule and so they are going to now enforce  it So, now we have to make a second dogless  trip down there for mail. We aren't supposed to get any more mail here, so for now it's not an issue, but we will have to come up with a plan for next year. 

Will take some pictures tomorrow of our get together and share on Monday.
