Haven't posted in over a week - not because I had nothing to report, but because there was a whole lot of stuff happening.
Good news and not so good news about Ripley:
- First, he graduated Puppy School with flying colors. No cap and gown, but he did get a diploma.
- Second, he suffered a severe case of constipation last weekend - mostly due to the fact that he loves to eat sticks and twigs. He's OK now but with the large number of trees in our yard, I don't know how we will ever break him of eating wood.
Cheryl's pet goat got POLIO!
Not the sort of polio that kept us out of public pools as children, this was Polioencephalomalacia, which is a severe Thiamine deficiency, potentially just as deadly as Poliomyelitis. When they got her to the Vet, he didn't think she would survive, but she's back home and doing well. Polio, by the way is a prefix that refers to gray matter, and both diseases attack the brain.
You might remember that we had filed a protest with FEMA about the payout on our home repairs from Imelda. Two years after we filed the protest, we finally got an answer. FEMA had upheld our objection. That was a couple months ago, and we still haven't received a check. That should change as I just signed (electronically) the final estimate that will generate the check from the insurance company.
We will not be receiving nearly as much as I thought we had coming, but since we went over two years not expecting anything.....
