After a whirlwind of driving I am finally back home. This weekend I drove up to Missouri to attend Chall's funeral. I got to visit with a part of the family I hadn't seen for 10 years, and I got to be with my Dad. It was so good to see him but even harder to leave. I will be so happy to have my well needed vacation at the end of August. I also realized I missed the smell of green. Yes, a color does have a smell and apparently all of Texas is devoid of it since it is so dry here.
It rained last week but only enough to tamper down the dust for a few days. We are still in severe drought conditions with restrictions of showers and of course my car is a dust magnet. It is now a candy-colored pink which will not be washed off until I see snow in December. It's still hot as ever here, but I realized I'm getting used to it. My Dad was saying how hot it was outside in Missouri and I commented on how nice it was. I think it was in the upper 80s. Sad that I think that seems cool.
I've finally uploaded some pictures from some surgeries we've had in the past week or so. We neutered an Axis deer. They are native to Asia and so are an invasive species here. We aren't allowed to release them off property unless we neuter all the males. We also had a barn owl come in with 2 fractured legs. They're clean fractures though, so we're hopeful he'll recover. I also put a picture of our smallest patient to date. He weighs 6 grams! Also, an animal of the weird. We've never seen a pigeon species quite like her. Hope you are all doing well and I will make sure to update more often. I've been "hinted" at that you all would like to hear more from me. I can't promise they will be long, but I'll try. Miss you all.
