It was a relatively quiet weekend as we mostly stayed inside because hell was raging outside. At some point, DC was the hottest spot in the entire nation and I feel like we deserved it. We celebrated Joab’s 11th birthday with a tres leches cake which Ginny told me he liked, but turns out he didn’t like – he likes chocolate. Oh well. I did bring the leftovers to church where it got eaten very quickly. We celebrated the 4th of July with burritos and tres leches cake.

Elka was scooting around on her butt, so I went to youtube and learned how to express anal glands. With Jeremy as my vet tech, and Elka ever so patient, I milked that anal gland and expressed weird brown liquid from it and I was very satisfied and Elka was too. I do enjoy popping pimples, and this was a very different and larger version of that.
Bubs, our resident downstairs dog, was scared on July 4th when thunderstorms rolled through. Bubs’s parents were not around, so she whined to come upstairs and we comforted as best we could. Bubs has the largest head I’ve ever seen on a dog.

Edda had a pair of seizures on Sunday to close out the weekend, so we put her on a bridge of benzos and I have to contact the Rett Clinic today to catch them up. She’s home today recovering.
