Checking in. My stomach was still a bit queasy this morning but I started feeling better after a bit. Work wasn’t terrible so that was nice.
The fox is having a skin issue. He will get a hot spot and then will just chew that area raw. He takes allergy medicine to try and keep his itchiness to a minimum but he recently started biting and today when I was working he went in a different room and pulled out a good chunk of hair and the skin is so raw. Our vet back in Texas would give him a steroid shot. I called the new vet here and we couldn’t get in today but I’ll get him to their emergency clinic hours tomorrow.

@Mbwoman that puzzle looks like madness! I would go insane trying to figure those pieces out :crazy_face:

Awww I’m sorry fox isn’t feeling so well. It’s hard when dogs start to suffer like that. One of my dads dogs did something similar with his front leg years ago. He chewed most of the fur off. I forget what the cause was but it took a while to figure it out.

Hoping he gets a solution soon!

Our old vet didn’t figure it out so they would just do the steroid shot when it got real bad. I’ve tried different foods and limited human food. It seems like heat bothers him the most but it hasn’t been terribly hot here so not sure what got him started this time.

Checking in. Worked but left early to take the fox to the vet. He got his steroid shot. They think it might be a reaction to weeds or the grass that got him started biting but they couldn’t say for sure. He is already doing better and has calmed down. The hubs and I went to dinner (we had a gift card) and watched a movie. It was nice. Now I’m gonna head off to bed since I work bright and early tomorrow.

Checking in early. I worked today but got off a bit early. The hubs is in a mood so my day took a turn. He is just angry and depressed. I’m just letting him be and I’m in the other room reading. It seems when he has multiple days off he dips into depression (which makes me feel like it’s me, but I feel like y’all will say it isn’t) and I feel like it’s because he doesn’t have any interests.

Checking in. Good productive day off. Went to the rec center, went grocery shopping and did some food prep. Got a little nap, cracked some pecans (which I’m still terrible at) and then did a virtual workout now just scrolling through tiktok being lazy and hanging with the dogs.
I did all of that but what’s crazy is I’m having issues with motivation. I forced myself to do all of those things. I really didn’t want to.

With the work schedule you had over the holidays, I wouldn’t have accomplished a tenth of what you did. Hope you got some good rest. Well deserved.
