We live in a subdivision with trees behind us, but it’s still in the city. Which is why I’m always amazed when we have visitors like this in our backyard:
(Can you see the head peeking up behind the fence?) She didn’t seem to be too bothered by me looking out the window and taking her picture. Guess she has acclimated to having humans for neighbors. I first saw just a bit of her ears out of the corner of my eye, and wondered who was sneaking around behind our fence. Never expected it to be a deer!
Cordy is still sick, and after her fever returned with a vengeance on Thursday night, we took her to the doctor on Friday morning. As expected, she freaked out at the doctor’s office, refusing to do anything other than scream and fight. When checking out, the receptionist asked the doctor what the diagnosis was, and he quickly replied, “An extreme case of anger.”
The real diagnosis? She somehow picked up a respiratory infection AND a stubborn stomach bug at the same time. It’s no wonder she’s not getting any better – her little body is overwhelmed trying to fight off two things at once. She’s on antibiotics now, meaning we’re trying to sneak her amoxicillin into anything we can twice a day. So far, milk is the best – it’s orange flavored, so I’d imagine it makes her milk taste like a dreamsicle.
Damn, now I’m craving a dreamsicle…or at least an orange freeze from Steak ‘n Shake.
Oh wow, the poor girl. That sucks! I’m glad she’s on the road to wellville now. Mmm, dreamsicle. I hope Cordy feels tons better tomorrow and that you and Aaron are able to get all of those antibiotics into her.
Hope she feels better soon! Cute visitor.
Ohhh dreamcicle… or one of them orange push ups that we would get from the ice cream man when I was a kid. Nummy.
I hope Cordy gets to feeling better soon, it always sucks so hard when we can’t do anything really other then be there.
Poor baby! Hope it clears up soon.
bleck. Nothing like a good old two-fer. Hope this goes away soon!
dreamsicles sound good…. the schwan man always brought us a huge box of orange push ups….
I have black bears in my back yard…and foxes, deer, raccoons…it’s practically Wild Kingdom!
OK, so, at first glance, I totally thought that was a giraffe. A giraffe, on the other side of your fence. Clearly logical. Or, you know, completely nonsensical. I blame it on the Safari Fever going around.
