Solstice Blessings Everybody!

Today in New England the day was absolutely beautiful!  Now a summer thunderstorm is working it's way through the Berkshire and Pioneer Valley.  What a fitting end for the first day of summer!

The main reason for my long absence is that I have been diverted by my furbaby RhiRhi and her battle with heartworm.  We discovered her infestation by the beasites about 3 weeks ago.  She is being a real trooper.  The most difficult part of this is that she has to be kept quiet during the three months of treatment.  She knows that something is going on and she has learned what the command slow means during a walk.  One unusual thing is that she evidently vomited this afternoon very near the time of the actual Solstice.  She was at my sister's house at the time and I think the actual cause was her ingestion of water from the in ground pool.  As I travel around in my job I find that she is proving to be an ambassador and reminder for other dog owners about heartworm prevention.  Now I have one more reason to believe that there is no really good reason for misquitos to exist. 

 Blessed Be and Litha  Blessings to All!
