vets and fencing + Crue

Reign had to stay at the vet overnight. He woke up with his elbow swollen and limping. He'd been fine the night before. When I got to the vet he was running a slight fever. They kept him overnight but he was much better yesterday morning so I got to bring him home. He's been fine ever since. Not sure what it was but I will keep an eye on him. Of course to look for puncture wounds for possible spider bite, they had to shave his elbow. Looks funny now. He has a callous there from laying on cement.

We finally got one side of the fencing done behind my shop. Mike helped spur us on to get it done by taking off the other night, while we were standing right there! It was so black out we couldn't see and when I called the dogs in, Crue, who had been with Mike, came right back, but no Mike. I called and called, I drove around and I called some more. Jillian finally came over and we drove around again and when we got to the road behind the shop, there he was coming down the road from behind us. Where he'd been I have no idea, but he'd been gone for over 30 minutes. I'm thinking maybe he chased a cat off and had it held somewhere in a trance. He will, if I let him, stare forever at our cat. He's never ever run off before and always comes when called. Just shows how unpredictable dogs are. Anyway I'd had that roll of fencing for a few weeks waiting to put it in but at least half is in now. And I don't let Mike out in the dark if I can't see him. I just need to finish the other side now and put in some gates.

Crue is growing by leaps and bounds. He's getting almost too big for me to carry. He sure is a good puppy though. And very smart! He listens well, is very obedient and never forgets anything. He's almost 5 mos old now.

And this one just because I thought it was a good picture of Seth.
