Well, we have taken down the For Sale sign and taken up the hammer. The balcony deck is going to be converted to a roof over the back porch, a door on that wall was removed, a window added, metal siding is going on the outside wall and Plum Pudding paint on the inside.

The pool is a thing of the past! Bob finally emptied the water and that turned out to be a very good thing. He discovered a big crack that had been leaking for who knows how long. This will bring a big savings in water and electric bills, pool chemicals and maintenance, homeowners insurance and property taxes. An all-around win for us. Plus, we can convert this area to an RV site.

Something frightening happened to Tux yesterday. We think her bad leg popped out of the hip socket, which is malformed. Poor dog was wheeling around trying to stay upright with the leg sticking out at an odd angle but not having much luck because her other rear leg isn't stable enough to support her weight on it's own. She got to lay on the sofa with a heating pad for a few hours until an additional small dose of carprofen went to work, and today she went in for another laser treatment. I'm upping the dose of carprofen a little bit, watching for nose bleeds of course, and she's clearly feeling better now. The vet thought she is looking much better even though she isn't putting on any weight. Blood tests for liver function are scheduled for next month, and Creatinine/Bunn testing for Hooper (who is rebelling against her kidney diet). Tag got some laser on his hips and legs after pulling up lame one day and he's getting around much better now, too. His back legs aren't collapsing anyway. No more wild Frisbee games for him anymore.
