Birthday Girl!
Poor Yara’s been neglected here lately in lieu of all the excitement over Tonks. But fear not, fair readers, she is far from overlooked. Even though her birthday was a soggy one that prevented us from park-related activities, she still managed to enjoy herself:
I picked out the obnoxiously noisy “Wiggly Giggly” ball while we were at the store and I’m rather pleased that (a.) Yara seems to get a kick out of it and (b.) it’s a reasonably solid dog toy that might last, oh, more than a week. Yara picked out a rather cute multicolored octopus1 toy that has squeakers in each of its arms, which has quickly become the toy of choice to carry into the kitchen at mealtimes. That is to say, it’s already the culprit for knocking over her water dish the last four times. ;-)
As we’re on the subject, for those curious, yes she has been eating quite consistently since her last vet visit. She remains quite lean, but a few of my friends and colleagues have commented that her coat is looking extra healthy of late and that she does appear to have gained some weight. (”Not much, but her ribs aren’t as prominent!”) I’m of a mind that she’s gained back the three pounds she lost since May, but I doubt she’ll ever be anything but a petite little dog. Our next vet appointment is August 26, so we shall see then.
1. Well, more accurately, it’s a cephalopod.
