Git er Done

If you've been wondering, Boo is doing sooooooo much better.  Of course the meds made him sleep more and the Vet said he'd be thirsty from them and he has been drinking a lot.  But his skin is clearing up and he doesn't spend all his time scratching.  I've not found any more fleas and I'm hoping there are no more in the house.  We will spray until we're sure all the eggs are dead!

The other day Anne, Pat and I went to check out the new Costco store in Pharr.  I've belong so we didn't all have to join.  We all found things to buy and split!  I also saw a store demonstration on the Vita-Mix.  I've been wanting one for a long time and the sale price was right up my ally.....my only problem now is where to store it!  Never fear, I'll find a spot for it.

Yesterday Anne and Pat hosted a 'last here' party.  Everyone was invited for this last bash of the season and there were quite a few people who showed up.  Everyone brought food, chairs and drinks and just hung out.  'where ya headed?' 'are you coming back next season?'  were the questions most asked.  It's so nice to know we can keep in touch with everyone online with Facebook.

So many of our friends are already traveling and hopefully we'll see them 'down the road'.

Jim is getting chores done so we can pack up and leave.  This morning he had the passenger windows on the truck tinted.  I guess $45 is cheap enough for the comfort.  It would have been even better if we could have kept the darker tint and avoided the expense!

When he came home from that he started dismantling the patio.  First he removed all the furniture and then pressure washed the screens so we can put them away clean.  Then he pressure washed the patio mat...on Thursday the rig will be washed

almost time to leave, we gotta get er done!

Update on Boo

We all slept better last night!  

The vet checked Boo over and suggested a few things.  We got one dose of Comfortis, an oral flea and tick medication, hopefully that will kick their little behinds!  Some Temaril to stop the itch cycle and clear up any 'hot spots'.  Both of these Boo ate with his dinner last night.  The vet said the statins in the Temaril would probably make him thirsty and cause him to drink more.  I think we can handle that for a week or so.

Also brought home some medicated shampoo, Pyoben,  that I'm hoping the groomer will use today.  ecoCARE Mobile Grooming uses earth friendly products and may not like this.  She may have something more animal friendly.  

On this first day of Spring we have a cold front coming through....  No matter the cool breeze is lovely to me.  As I type this the sun is still hiding...
