Project 365: 102/365
I was able to get a better photos of the bullfrogs tonight by sneaking up behind them. This is a different one than the frog I snagged a photo of yesterday. They are elusive little guys this time of year, but they are starting to get braver. Though I don't know if this one even knew I was there.
We added 6 more small Koi to the pond today - hopefully they don't become dinner for these guys.
And Blue was posing pretty on the deck steps so I had to snag a photo of my boy!

Day 5 on the couch for me and Blue is still sticking by me! Love my boy!
Nine times out of ten when I look up this is what I see! Blue likes to check up on me while I'm recovering, but he knows he can't jump up on the couch with me. Such a sweet boy!
I've been chasing a pair of Red Shouldered Hawks that live down by the pond at work for a couple of months now trying to get some decent shots. Today as I was getting in my truck I noticed one of them in the tree by the pond. One had a rabbit and was perched on top of the light post in the parking lot and the other joined him. As I was changing my focus one of them swooped down and dive bombed me. I literally had to duck to my knees to keep from getting clocked. I just wish I'd have had my focus ready when s/he was swooping straight for me! It was quite exciting!
Yesterday was such a beautiful day that Jason and I spent most of the afternoon on the screened porch with the pups. I got all the boys' photos. Lois Lane wouldn't sit still (go figure).
Another two-fer. Playing with the extension tubes for macro shots again.
And Blue, cleaning up after a yummy dinner. Love that tongue!
We had a "team building" outing today at work for the eBusiness team and we got to leave work at 2:30 and spend a couple of hours at the bowling alley. It was fun for a change, especially for a Tuesday. I bowled a 96 and a 102. Not great, but not bad considering it's only the fourth time I've been bowling this year and haven't been before that in forever. One of these days I'll get the hang of it again!
I'm hoping to get back into my regular photo scavenger hunt this coming month to help provide more interesting shots for my one a day project - we'll see what happens!
Blue Boy is happy as a lark. As of his vet checkup today he is officially off 24/7 cage rest! After 6 weeks that has to be a relief to him (and to us). He'll still be in the cage when we aren't home to watch him and probably at night to keep him from jumping on the bed and hurting his back again, but he's free to roam during the day! He's off the prednisone and only on metacam and some other preventative daily meds. He doesn't need a recheck for three months, unless other problems come up, so it's a good day for all!
Oh how I love colored pens and markers, particularly Sharpies!
Not much to report on today. Hardy goes back to the vet on Friday. His vestibular disease is getting worse and he's becoming more and more disoriented. The vet said we could possibly try some Alzheimer's medication for dogs to see if that would help, but we're running out of options with the poor old man. On the other hand, Blue is showing good improvement in his back. He's not limping as much and is walking better, but is still on cage rest for another few weeks. Buddy and Lois Lane are doing great *knock wood* and continue to mooch food constantly.
Blue is still on cage rest for the next several weeks, but once I get home from work he yipes in his cage. So the last couple days we've been letting him out to lay on his bed by my desk. Since he isn't allowed to run or jump we have to keep him on leash. While I'm working I stick the end of the leash under the leg of my chair. He's content...and quiet, so it works. He's doing better. He still has a limp and is wobbly on his feet at times, but the medicine seems to be helping and he's avoiding surgery thus far. Fingers crossed he avoids it all together.
