Danger

With so many dogs coming and going in the same spots, disease and illness can be transmitted into the soil and bushes at frequented bathroom spots.

A young husky died yesterday and another young dog became seriously ill.

They suspect Parvo to be the culprit.

Luckily, our hound is older now and both dogs are updated on their shots.

But it is difficult to feel safe in this cramped situation.

We frequently have bouts of mystery barfing and someone being briefly off eating their food.

We stopped giving everyone the faucet water, switched to bottled, and give canned, cooked Libby’s (TM) pumpkin to help regule intestines – which works for runs or constipation.

It is hard to not allow that hind-brain high keening of alarmed concern to penetrate the day’s thinking when forced by circumstances to continue frequenting possible infection areas.

And, we must monitor eary second of walking the dogs outside our room because a lightening-quick snorfle-suck can result in the dogs eating something they shouldn’t.

Constant need for overmanagement ramps hypervigilance tension.
