Sylvia had been throwing up for most of a week, so I called the vet and they wanted me to bring her in. The vet could not find anything wrong with her, so he gave her an anti-nausea shot. She did much better after this, but then started throwing up and coughing a few days later. The throwing up has since ceased, but she’s still coughing. I had planned on taking her to the vet yesterday, but the coughing wasn’t as frequent (just twice yesterday, that I know of). So, I’m going to wait a few days and see if she improves. Besides, the coughing, she seems ok. But, if this keeps up, I’ll definitely have to take her in for another look.
easter: pandemic style
Some things remain the same, though. I had enough forethought to purchase a turkey breast (I wanted a ham, but they were all huge) and Jake’s Easter basket candy whenever I last went shopping in March. So, he still got a basket and had his Easter egg hunt. But, it definitely was strange not going anywhere for the holiday. I was a little surprised (but not really) to see photos of some large family gatherings on Facebook. Though most families seemed to do their civic duty and stay home. I expect we’ll see another spike in cases in the next two weeks.
zombieland: double tap
Jake and I watched this Friday night. We both really enjoyed it. Much like the first movie, I loved the Bill Murray cameo. I hope there’s a third.
My rating: 4/5
lockdown
Not much to report here. I’ve just been staying home like a good citizen. Unrelated to the pandemic, I have started gardening (some seeds in the house and onions outside), so it’s starting to feel like spring. The weather is supposed to get nice starting next week, so I’m looking forward to that as there are many things I could be doing outside.
In pandemic news, Cambria County will be under a “stay-at-home” order starting 8pm tonight. How this differs from what we’ve been doing is kind of beyond me (I guess the difference is that they can enforce this order, whereas the previous thing was more of a suggestion, but whatever–it’s not going to make a difference in my life).
jumping the gun
It looks like I should have gone to Saturday’s pack walk after all. The coronavirus was discovered in Cambria County earlier this week and the shelter is now closed to volunteers. So much for that. I did contact them and they have some web forms that need to be created in their shelter software and then added to the website, so I’m going to work on that on the weekends in lieu of walking dogs. I’m glad that I can still help to some extent. But, I hope I can get back to walking dogs soon! I mean, other than my own…
