pup swim:
Pearl
Ruby

I took these little marmots out for a swim and run-around on the beach. We have to get more video of them, they're hysterically funny and cute. Today Ruby was the brave one, last time it was Pearl.

vet trip:
Linda

Today we did some CADA duty. A fisherman saved a pup with a severely broken leg that had been abandoned in a cardboard box: it had a compound fracture that went untreated. They brought it to Jackie, who sent pictures to Dr. Vic; the vets said it had to be amputated, as the bone was already starting to become infected. I took the pup to Dra. Sandra today and, since I was going, took Linda to be checked over. She has been grouchy at times recently and she hadn't been seen or had bloodwork done in years, so why not. It turns out she has the worst hips of anyone, she's just small and tough and doesn't complain too much. You wouldn't know it from the way she acts. Her bloodwork all came back clean. The pup was operated on and did well enough to come home that day (there were doubts). It's recovering well now and should be fine. I'll find out more about the fisherman who saved it, since Jackie said they've saved several dogs and want to help more. Good vet trip, although the reason was terrible.
