How old is Clark?

I pray he get's to feeling better.

LOL. A tripod is definitely a great help when you're zooming way out and for moon shots. My settings for moon shots:
Manual
aperture f/10
ISO 100-160, depending on how full and bright the moon is.
shutter speed 1/200s or 1/250s
spot metering

Oh and to prevent camera shake, a remote shutter release is also nice, or use the timer

We are presently doing a watch and wait and see.

He can still pee and Saturday's are terrible--short staff and short hours and I try not to drag any of my menagerie in on Saturday for that reason.

So the bottom line for Clark is that he has something going on--among other things periodically he stands and pees--and it's evidently when he's pretty full of urine and I'll find small places in the litter box where he peed and then he'll pee standing up and he can get some real distance going doing that. As long as he can pee I'll clean up the puddles.

Leon has found that puking up hairballs is getting him some attention. (Like he never gets any attention any other time).

And when he can't pee if he doesn't make it until Monday--we'll go see the folks at my favorite emergency clinic.

Nice pics as usual.

But, I'm mad at you again! I think I need a tripod now. Damn you! You did say it was a slippery slope, though.

You will laugh your a$$ off when you eventually see my attempt at taking a pic of the full moon the other night.

Another Saturday, another hike with my girl

I know it's not going to last but this has to be the coolest August (and by coolest I mean temperature wise, not hip LOL) we've had since I've been here in middle TN. This last week, the mornings have felt more like late spring or fall than the middle of summer.

Here are a couple of iPhone pics I took this morning

Hey MC

Just talked to Ken again shortly before I saw your post. Can't cut the 20mg omeprazole in two because it's a time release and it screws up the time release function.

I'm guessing that the reason you need a script for the 10 mg is because they are afraid that someone will be trying to give babies or smaller kids 10mg without seeing a pediatrician to make sure that's what the kid needs.

But for the record the general rule of thumb about pills and what you can cut in half to get a smaller dose is that if it's a time release--don't ever cut those in half (or quarters or anything else) But generally if it's a drug in tablet form (as opposed to gel caps) and it's scored either for 1/2 or double scored for 1/4 you can safely cut or break those to have a smaller dose.

But as always--ask a pharmacist or your vet/doctor to be sure.

Well, now that I'm not so worried about Ken's lil' EG I can return to worrying about Clark (the tailless wonder) who I think may have a UTI (at least I'm hoping for a UTI and not a full fledged bout of FLUTD.

At least our weather has subsided to a pleasantly cool morning and only supposed to hit mid 70's this morning.

Sure, if you are you serious, but I don't think HADR will adopt out of TX.

https://www.hadr.org/adopt/

We adopted Eva from them in 2012, and they were hesitant to adopt to us in San Antonio since they couldn't make a home visit. I made a CD with pictures of our home, inside and out and provided Spock's records for them. I think only reason they agreed is because we were current Doberman owners. This would work in your favor since you had Doberman Axel previously.

Hey Ken - maybe you can buy the generic human omeprazole and cut them in half? Sypha takes omeprazole and I just buy the human version. She's on the 20 mg dose because she's a big dog. I'm not sure if they can be cut in half (Bug might know)...many tablets can be easily with no harm.

Mel, Just Do Like TN, Always Carry Your Camera Gear With You!



(Frank in younger days, when photography bug first bit him...)

You think I am stupid just taking pictures? Just wait until I have have to figure out how to transfer the photos!

When I finally get to that stage, you all are going to die laughing at the pictures that I accidentally captured. Anybody want to see a pic of my toe?

LMAO

As a long term deer-in-the-yard photographer, I'll just tell you now to save you a little trouble—deer only do cute things when you don't have the camera in your hands.
