RN my 13 week old puppy has mange. I am ticked because the vet "suspected" it at her appt 2 weeks ago but told us to wait and see what happens. Now we have to pay for another appt.

RN I went outside about 2:00 to get the mail and there was a fire helicopter with a big red bucket about 40 feet above my house! We had terrible fires last year and the sky was brown for about 6 weeks. I looked online and the closest city's newspaper said there was a fire at highway 44 and airport road in Redding. Turns out, it was airport way where I live about 35 miles east of Redding. The helicopter took water out of our neighbor's pond. Thank God he didn't try to take it out of my little pool in the backyard! Anyway, they were able to contain it in an hour, which is terrific. We live in the forest with trees that are well over 100 feet tall. The first thing I did was to grab my dd's passport and clothes for her job in Germany! Then I got the file with our birth certificates, insurance info, marriage license, etc., and put them into the motorhome. I was trying to figure out how to get the 2 dogs and 5 indoor cats to the motorhome when I heard the fire was contained. Lucky, because as the crow flies, the fire was maybe 1/4 mile from me.

RN P.S. it is 111 degrees in Redding and 98 here in the mountains. We only get maybe a dozen days each year where it's above 90, so we don't have A/C. As soon as the shade comes over the pool, I am going to get on my floatie and take a glass of wine and just drift. Only one glass of wine, though, in case the fire flares and I have to get out of Dodge. Which would really irritate me to have to miss the last of Bachelorette, even though the guys I liked best are long gone. Sigh.....

Rn Dfennessey, thanks. I tried laying down for a while when Darren got home. Oh what a disaster that was...we decided to lay on the couch cuz we didn't want to get too comfy (he had school tonight.) The phone rang and rang and rang. We unplugged it. Cell phones rang and rang and rang. Unfortunately those were work calls for Darren so couldn't turn his cell off. Migraine symptoms, minus the pain, are still hanging in there and I think this is just gonna be one of those I gotta live with. RN Tabby, glad they got the fire contained!

RN Tabby--always best to be safe. I have all my "grab in case of emergency papers" in a decorative box in the living room. I have also put disks with my pictures in the box.

RN nope, Dfennessey. Kota and I went to run a couple errands after dropping Caleb off at school and after our third stop I told her we had to go home...no stopping by my aunts to drop off some groceries. I took some excedrin migraine though, hoping that helps, if not I'll wait til Darren gets home and break out the heavier stuff. Been a while since I've had one I just can't shake.

RN I had to come back and report that my 13 week old puppy does NOT have the mange like everybody thought the other day. They did skin scrapings and hair samples and found nothing. So they think she is allergic to something and ended up giving her an antihistamine shot and a prescription of prednisone to heal up her itchy scabby spots.

RN, yay, Naja! I hope they can identify the allergy and that it's something easy to deal with!

RN, Merrysea, I was almost hoping it was mange because then it could be cured. I lived over 14 years with a beagle that was allergic to everything, including every lawn grass native to my state! And she lived her whole life on allergy pills and shots. It was very expensive for us, and uncomfortable for her

RN yay Naja! I think. My little "adopted" bro's dog is allergic to grass, it's awful. They finally had to dig up a portion of their yard, nothing but dirt now, for him to have for his own. Poor little guy used to come in and lay flat on the floor and scoot himself around to scratch his belly/chest/legs. He was just miserable til they figured out what was causing the allergy and got rid of the grass.

RN, NC is trying to figure out who to take. He already had one ticket and won two more. He's taking his eighteen year old son. Anyone want to watch three kids from 8 am to 10 pm Saturday so I can go?

RN woo hoo! Caleb just finished (about an hour ago) his math bridge class. He was very upset with us when we signed him up for it, being 5 days a week, 2 and a half hours each day, but we thought it'd be beneficial to him. He struggled with math last year and this class was designed to start covering the next years math (next year, btw, starts in 11 days,) and give the kids a leg up. Halfway through the month, he admitted he did think the class would help him next year, but still hated it. Today when I picked him up he said he still hated giving up part of his summer, but was glad we'd made him go. He learned quite a bit and they sent him home with all the workbooks they used that can be used as study guides during the regular school year. He scored the 3rd highest "grade" in the class overall, came home with a couple acheivement awards and for next year he is supposed to get a small percent added to his math grade each trimester which will boost his gpa a little bit (it's .33% of a point each trimester.)
