THE TWO LITTLE BOOKENDS

That's what our vet calls our two labs. Care to take a guess which one is Winter (Win) and which one is Summer Sunshine (Sunny)? Today was their annual checkup. After coaxing them into the backseat of the car, and again out of the car into the vet's office, things went well. Dr. Polland and his staff took fine care of "the little bookends", updated their immunizations and gave them a good physical. Sunny came in as the heavyweight by 2 pounds (time to lay off the extra dog biscuits) but otherwise they were happy, healthy dogs. Home again just in time to finally mow hay for the horses. Dennis ate lunch, headed to Garry's to pick up the tractor and then to the field. We've been waiting for the weather to co-operate all summer. Once the hay is cut this afternoon, Dennis will head back to MMS to shut down his computer, "tie up some loose ends", then head back to the hayfield for "fluffing" (standing the hay up so the air can move through it more easily for drying). Our hope is tomorrow the hay will be dry and ready to bail. If not, we will take Sunday off to attend Levi, Ethan & Anna's baptism in Waterford, then head back to the hayfield on Monday.
