Gray and windy and cool. Had to get up and add a blanket to the bed last night, but the breeze that came in my bedroom window felt great. My favorite season - hope we have a good one, and it lasts a few months. Like spring, you never know. Audrey is down to just 14 flowers out of the hundreds that she wore just a few weeks ago. I need to harvest a few seed heads to share with friends, but the rest will stay in place for the birds for this winter. The Goldfinches in particular are very attracted to the seeds.
Fish club meeting last night with a good turnout again. Certainly a viable club, though I wish that more of the members kept something other than Cichlids. A club member spoke on Killifish and did a nice presentation. Although I don't normally keep Killies, I may go to the upcoming Killie show and pick up a few species.
Argus visited Dr. Nicole the Chiropractor yesterday, as I was concerned about his back. He seemed uncomfortable in a stack and was not moving the way he could last weekend. She found an area that needed work, but was concerned that one of his stifles seemed "tight" - wondered if he might not have an area of inflammation from an old injury. May have to follow up on that too.
The pieces are falling into place to lease Tess the Watson daughter and breed her to Argus. I am so ready for a puppy! The litter will be whelped by and stay with Tess's owner/breeder until they are six weeks of age, then will come here for the rest of their socialization, BAER testing, health checks and placement. Tess's owner loves to do the baby puppy part of a litter and does not want Tess gone, so this works out fine, and Tess will only be here for a few days to be bred. Hope this all works out.
