Vet Day For Shelby
This afternoon Shelby had to go to the vet to get a tumor on the back of her leg
examined. We have been keeping an eye on the tumor for awhile now and it was
not giving her problems...until recently. So, off to the vet we went!
 |
| Shelby knows she is going somewhere today and is waiting patiently. |
 |
| Shelby is no longer waiting patiently! She will not be happy when she finds out we are going to the vet! |
 |
| At the vet waiting for test results! |
Shelby will be having surgery to remove the tumor next week. The vet said, Shelby
is in very good health given Shelby is nearly 14 years old! After the tumor is
removed, Shelby will have to wear a cone of shame but should be able to walk better!

Shelby and The Woolly Worm
Shelby sees something moving on the back deck at Grandma's house!
I went outside to see what it was and she "pointed" it out to me from inside the house.
It was a woolly worm crawling around!
Shelby really wanted outside to check it out. But I would not let her.
I was afraid she would eat it.

Snuggle Time With New Blankets!
Earlier this week I purchased two new blankets for Shelby.
I spread one of them out on her chair for her to lay on and covered
her up with the other one. She snuggled in and took a nap!
