This morning the ground was bare. By 6:30 a.m. there was a dusting of snow. Then the sun came out and the ground was bare. And then it graupelled.

A LOT of graupel.

It graupelled for nearly half an hour!

I headed to town with Bear after lunch. We had an appointment at the vet to have the incision staples removed.

I arrived early to buy Bob’s food and Bear’s supplements, but they were ready for Bear and all was accomplished quicky. We ended up leaving 5 minutes after our original appointment time – yea!

Bear was VERY glad about the short visit. It was a bit nerve-wracking for him to go there again and he made no bones about wanting OUT OF THERE!

Dr. Clark came out with the tech and Bear and told me how well Bear was looking at 11 days post-op.

A good report and on we go.

We had stopped for a walk on the way to town. Between the walk, the Jeep excursion and the VET visit…

Bear was done!

Bob was happy that we returned with HIS FOOD.

And then the sun came out.

Beautiful.

Ending the week on a high and Wintry note…
