I'll take any excuse for sharing pictures. Here's more that I took before the weather became too cool for outside time. *I won't delete these, I won't delete these, I won't delete these...*

Good to hear about Mandarin. Anything you learned from this that you can share. I don't remember what issues he had, but am just curious.

Great Pictures!

I gained a lot of knowledge from this experience, but a handful that stick out to me are:

1. They go downhill rapidly and provide very little indication that they are not doing well
2. Bullying may be so subtle, it's difficult for us to observe (I think this was part of the issue we had).
3. They are WAAYYYY tougher than I originally thought.
4. A good vet is a life-saver.
