The dark was just turning gray when I woke up this morning. Was it time to get up yet? then I heard Cindy start her "I want to go outside song". Yup it was time to get up. Holy cow it was cold in the front room - I misguaged the wood last night and the woodstove was cold stoned dead. It would have to wait - too much to do this morning. I hollered at Dave that it was time to get up and he was up right then!! I made the coffee and leashed Merry and Moses to keep them fasted. The puppies were clamoring for breakfast! And a drink - please. Everybody fasts on speuter eve. Dave went out to start the TG bus and came in with an armload of kindling. Thank you Dave!! Then he walked Merry to the bus - she walks very well on leash! I dragged dear Moses - he knew something was up and he was having no part of it!
Stubborn boy. Dave drove off and I prepared th efire - no lift in the air, even the paper wouldn’t burn! After much blue language and some tea lights the fire was roaring and I sat to enjoy my first cup of coffee.

Merry and Jade - Gopher in the back!
But he has most of his coat back now! I will take his picture when he comes home to show the difference this round of treatments has made. Moses is one of my demodex gang - a skin condition that is inherited from their mother. It will  be gone forever when their immune system matures. Meanwhile they are under constant treatment and need premium dog food and care. It is worth all the work and expenses to see them happy and playing - their personalities are finally  blossoming — they feel good at long last!
