Bob found strange wear on one of the Chalet tires. We'll need to take care of that before heading to Washington. Also noticed the shock cords are badly frayed and need to be replaced. The white flakes of material we'd been finding on the trailer floor last year were apparently flakes of the bungees. Pictures below.
So this is another delay that provides a little more time for Tux to stabilize before we head out. I'm afraid the stress of traveling will be too much for her. The medication to increase her appetite is working but there is something that turns her away from the food. Maybe a strange taste in her mouth. Seems like when I am able to get some yogurt into her she becomes ravenous for a short time. I cram as much food into her then as she can take. Poor dog. Can't seem to make any progress on this disease.

| Wear on inside of tire in this area... |

| ...but much less wear here. Same tire. |

| Definitely time to replace the bungees! |
