Duchess of Weaselskin

Happy End of April and beginning of May this week! We have been working towards the end of April on our veggie and herb garden here in southwest Colorado mountains. The photo on the left is some wild mountain strawberries that we planted in a huge pot last year that have began to bloom again this spring. They usually are a bit smaller than the strawberries you buy in the grocery store and farmers markets.

In human years, this Duchess dog is about 63 years (almost as old as NW Okie). I was sure feeling it towards mid-week of of last week when my left hind ball joint and socket was aching and had me slow moving and barely moving most of the day. But thanks to NW Okie for taking me to the vet and getting an X-ray to find out what the problem was.

It was not arthritis. My left hind ball joint and socket it seems did not have a good match, with too much space between my left hind ball joint and socket. We have been told that it could lead to arthritis in dogs, though. I have been taking some pills for the pain and have gotten back in to my routine of chasing the squirrels and chipmunks without pain now. I still need assistance, though in getting up on the sofa to cuddle next to my human counterpart.

We have had a request concerning a murder that occurred 30 May 1896, when John Ellis shot and killed a man named Elder. The killing came out of a neighbor's broil over some cattle in which Ellis and his sister were armed as was Elder and his wife. The women got into a fight. The husband and brother standing by until Ellis killed Elder. [read more about the request at OkieLegacy Ezine, Vol. 6, Iss. 40].
