So much as happened this last week, that I could write forever, but I won't.
Last Saturday was filled with fun and worry. We had been planning to attend Picnic Day at UC Davis for the last month. We were super excited and anticipating all the cool things we could see and the exhibits we could attend with Ty now that he is older and would be more interested in the animals, but things did not turn out exactly the way we planned.
On Friday night, our beagle, Daisy, started showing signs that she was not feeling well. By the end of the night, she was having trouble walking and using the bathroom. She would just lay down and wine. We thought that she might have a bowel obstruction because this dog will eat anything; paper clips, toothpicks, nickles, etc. (I should not mention this, but since Eric is in Vet school, he did do a rectal exam to see if he could feel a blockage. Eeeewwww!.)By Saturday morning, she was worse and of course this was the day that we were planning on attending Picnic Day. Since her Vet office is in Davis, Eric took Daisy to the Dr, while Ty and I went on our adventure. Poor Eric had to miss part of the day to be with Daisy, but then left her at the Vet to have fun with us. Little did we anticipate was the difficulty of seeing all the cools exhibits with an almost 2 year old in hot weather and one who did not have a nap that day. Overall, we did not see many exhibits because of the crowds and Ty's lack any attention span. He did have a lot of fun at the bubble table set up for kids and he did love running away from us at any moment that we were not holding him. After we had all the fun and tantrums we could have, we picked up Daisy from the Vet. She did not have a bowel obstruction. She had an abscess in her anal gland. Yuck!. Never wish this on any dog.
It was very exhausting day and we all crashed when we either got in the car or set foot in the house. Like we said last year and said again this year,"Next year will be better because Ty will be older and enjoy be able to enjoy the exhibits more."
Ty loved the bubble so much. He spent an hour at the table and even pushed other kids out of the way to get to the bubbles.
Here is Daisy on heavy narcotics, antibiotics, and a warm compress on her tush after the abscess ruptured.
This is what happened when Daisy could not leave her tush alone. She is pretty pitiful.

Poor Daisy, she did look pretty pitiful, but so cute. That picnic looks like a lot of fun.
