Vacation time :-)

DSC_0488

Vacation time and I won’t have to go to work for four weeks 🙂 I must admit that it feels rather good 🙂 The day did move slower than frozen molasses though 🙂 I had things to paint all day and time should have flown but I guess that I longed for vacation too much 🙂

Three days ago Albin started to throw up all that he ate at breakfast, he still was quite happy but he has never done that before so I was a bit worried but he wasn’t too keen on eating a treat and that was the thing that worried me. Alma is known for stealing the diapers from my neighbors new born daughter so I was worried that he might have a bit of diaper stuck in his stomach, so I even went home a couple of hours early just to check on him. He was just as always so I started to boil fish and rice for him to eat. Then yesterday he could barely walk on his left front foot.

He gladely shows that he has a problem but always refuse to show where the problem is 🙂 but I think I saw a grumpy face when I for the tenth time pressed one of his toes. So I thought he might have broken it when playing with Alma because those two play tough with each other. Today he had no problem at all so we could take a walk after work like always. I really don’t understand that dog sometimes 🙂 🙂

It isn’t such a bad fly year as I thought it would be, I guess the drought managed to kill off lots of fly larvae. There are the biting ones but still fairly few as well. We had a couple of really big ones and they pestered the dogs for a while but then just flew away. The smaller ones flew around me instead but after I managed to kill one of them before it managed to bite me the rest sort of just gave up. I do hope this is how it will be fore the rest of the summer 🙂 🙂

My neighbor had ordered three hoodies to her boyfriend and ordered the same size as always but they aren’t sure what size they actually got 🙂 So they asked me if I wanted them instead. I’m both taller and much fatter than my neighbor so I didn’t think they would fit me but they are actually perfect 🙂 They didn’t want anything for them, they were on some kind of mega sale so I said I would by them a big melon instead (well I’ll buy three different but they don’t know that 🙂 )Their daughter loves fruit and vegetables so melons should be perfect 🙂 It is the same daughter that I can hear on weekend mornings shouting: Yohoo Amma which means she wants Alma to come over 🙂 The girl is very happy today because she now knows I’ll be at home for four weeks and that Alma then can come over all day if she wants to 🙂

    Yohoo Amma. That’s so cute.
    The dirty diaper theft is not so cute though. Ew. Especially in summer.
    Rocky has been intermittently lame. I can’t find anything wrong and he carries on like normal except for those off steps he takes every so often. It’s worrisome.
    The mosquitos are horrid here. We’ve had a lot of rain and my swamp is really wet. On the plus side, I had another batch of fireflies back there a couple of nights ago. Usually I have none.
    Yay for vacation!

      Hi Caryn!

      🙂 She really loves Alma 🙂
      No the diaper is anything but cute 🙂 🙂 🙂 Thankfully the baby still is far from eating solids so it does mostly smell like old milk 🙂 🙂

      My old Erna was like that and it had something to do with her spine, some swelling but nothing more serious if she just got an inflammatory medicine, the one she had is called Metacam but now days they have better medicines with less side effects. After that she was quite ok again. It is worrisome!

      I think the drought finally killed off lots of mosquitoes here, still a lot though but not as many as before and I fish for those mosquito larvae in my water barrels and the fish in my aquarium loves them 🙂

      It is said that we have glow worms around here but I’ve never managed to see any, I did once when I was a kid though but that was long ago I’m afraid.

      Yay for vacation 🙂

      Have a great day!
