I stood inside, with my back to the patio door, holding a cheap magnifying mirror to reflect the outdoor scene behind me. Since my hands were kind of full (camera in one and mirror in the other), I set everything to auto and hoped that something interesting would happen. I like the way it turned out.
I took this yesterday. The incision is a little red, which had me concerned, but it’s not hot or swollen, and the redness is fading. They had to loosen the skin underneath, to get enough slack to close the incision, and I think that’s probably what’s causing the redness. The vet gave her antibiotics, so there shouldn’t be any problem with infection.
Other than the redness, she looks good! I’m amazed at the fact that there’s no swelling. The contours of her butt actually match on both sides now.
It’s raining. And raining and raining and raining. It’s a perfect rain for plants, too, and they really need it. We’ve had an awfully dry summer.
Someone should tell the guy upstairs that the smoke detector is not an oven timer. It’s gone off four times already this morning.
