Oh, it’s soooooo much fun going to the vet. Even more fun going two days in a row!
I’m just hoping it isn’t a malignant tumor. A friend had a cat with a similar lump and that’s what it was. They had to remove her ear but at least she’s ok now.
I still don’t want that for Dexter.

No medicine on it at this point because there’s no open wound. No sign that one of the others clipped him with a claw and that’s why I don’t think it’s an abscess.

It’s humbling to be close to one of those ships, isn’t it? You know they’re huge but can’t really appreciate just HOW huge until you see one in person. Awe-inspiring.

I always enjoyed going to visit Dad because he lived across the highway from Hurlburt Field, just outside Ft. Walton Beach, FL. LOTS of jets flying around.

What I enjoyed most about Norfolk was when the C5A’s would pass overhead. Those monsters would block out the daylight, they were so huge and so low when they went over. LOL! You felt them more than heard them, though you definitely heard them.

There’s an AFB close to us but it’s an R&D center with mostly civilian workers. Just a small number of AF personnel. We still have occasional planes and helicopters fly over the farm.

C5As do touch-and-gos out at the airport between here and Midland and I love watching them lumber through the sky. They are sooo cool!

Oh, I hope Dexter’s ear is not malignant. It would be awful to lose an ear, but better that than to lose him!

Piper is fine after her dog bite. My son told me in a text: “The dog was just a small, fuzzy, white, yappy dog. It was on a retractable leash and when the owners came outside, the dog just ran out to Piper, bit her, then retreated...stupid little dogs.
She was pretty startled, nut likely not what you’d call traumatic.”
