Hi, Adam and fellow Roomies!
I am going to take a brief electronics break for a day or 2.
I love you all but sometimes I need to put a little more focus on Home and hearth.
I’ll be back in just a few days!!! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️

A smidgen of sarcasm, Yvonne?
Really is an impressive place!
I quite understand, Mooz.
I know how things get and there are sometimes times when one needs time to replenish ones enthusiasm, sort 'stuff' out.
We will miss you, but look forward to you rejoining us as soon as possible.
Lots of love to you and yours and hugs to you and the sick animals.

The results of the tests came back for Cricket, she ate rat poisoning containing diphacinone- an anticoagulant!
We don't use rat poison and though our dogs regularly kill rats and mice they have never eaten them(would much rather hide them and then roll on them once rotted).
I went and asked our neighbor and he admitted that he put poison out around his house.
We think a rat was taking the poison blocks and stashing them in a nest on our property, Cricket found the nest.. there is a pile of old bricks beside the fence that may have been the spot.
The anticoagulant was causing bleeding in her stomach and intestines. (Though I never saw blood in her vomit).
The good news is that she will still come home tomorrow. She will be getting a daily dose of vitamin K for at least a month as well as antibiotics to prevent any infections that could develop as a side effect. She ate this morning and has more energy. The technician that called admitted she was very popular with all the staff say "she is just so cuddly!"

Cuddly??? Is my memory faulty? I could swear Cricket was a great dane?
That's pretty scary about the rat poison. Thank goodness they found what it was and are able to treat it.

Whilst I am horrified that your neighbour has been so careless with rat poison, I am pleased that it has been identified and Cricket is set for recovery. Cricket is very lucky indeed.
I know a couple of very cuddly great danes, Yvonne. They’re both the softest dogs going
Thank goodness my 70lb doberman got over the lap dog mentality very early on!

I kept waiting for the whole almond orchard to be covered in blossoms, but I noticed this a.m. the wind is starting to blow the petals off, so I thought I'd better hurry up and get the picture:
In a month or so I'll go across the street and see if any almonds are forming yet and if so, I'll get another picture for you.
Mmmmm deliiiscious. Thank you I really enjoyed my scone. Went down nicely with the tea.
SNAP!!!!!
