Evening Time
Between the worlds of light and dark, our sphere rolls us from a hot late spring day into the coolness of the evening. My favorite times are those between lightness and the dark, be it sun up or sun down.
Day 3 of the walk was certainly not without challenge. Not being on the ice in my skates for several months, and out taking a simple 1 mile walk on a country road, my left knee decided to scream for attention without having an injurious event occur.
I was also up the entire night with the puppy who, as it turns out, has a bacterial infection and THAT carries with it diarrhea of the worst and most profuse kind. Every hour throughout the night I had to let him out, and that one brief interval where slumber overtook me, he went by the door to go out and couldn't wait for me to realize it and let him out.
At 4 a.m. I am cleaning the worst mess which, luckily is on my bamboo floor and not my wool carpet. Poor little baby. We went to a friend's last Friday and he found some running water to play in, and before I could scoop him out, he took a big long drink of it and I yelled, "NOOOOOOO, giardia!!!!!!" As I had a bout of that with my standard when she was a wee pup and it almost killed her before it was properly diagnosed, I could just sense this was going to happen. My amazing dogtor at Sierra Animal Wellness Clinic and Chayla, her tech, did the tests and diagnosis. Cheyana is clear thankfully. Puppy Easton is now on antibiotics, had a shot and a syringe full of a medication by mouth to restore gut health. The little guy is a fighter, unlike my standard, and to 'pill him' is going to be no simple feat.
So in an almost hallucinatory state from sleep deprivation and the constant activity of cleaning him up, the walk tonight was a true challenge. BUT, we are up for the challenge and the walk IS beautiful. The screaming knee was wrapped for support, and I will begin doing my former physical therapy exercises for both knees that I did awhile back.
I'm playing Solfeggio frequencies for digestive tract healing for both poodles as we settle in for a peaceful evening.
