Zion Natl Park – Saturday September 7, 2013

Hank had a tough afternoon.

I think he stepped on a bee with his right hind paw.  He did the same thing last spring.  Starting hobbling his paw and licking it really hard.  This time I gave him a Benedryl and he did not go into as much distress as he did in the Spring.   In the Spring we packed up and headed to Hanks vet in Hurricane.  Yes, Hank has a vet in Hurricane.  A couple of years ago he started scratching and couldn’t seem to stop.  We found him a really nice vet who gave him a cortisone shot and it took care of the scratching.    Dogs and children.  In the Spring by the time we got to Hurricane he was doing much better we hung around town for a while and he was back to normal.  This time his paw REALLY hurt for about an hour and he started getting better.  After two hours he back to normal.

Jean wanted to play ball with him this evening.  She got a ball out of his basket and throw it into the bedroom.  He ran into the bedroom got the ball and put it back into his basket, guess he didn’t want to play.

 

Here’s another picture of the arch.

A couple of years ago when I got my new camera I also got 150 – 500 mm lens.  This picture was taken with the 500 mm.  It’s a great lens and I’ve been disappointed I have not had any  birds to take pictures of this year.

Had a thunder shower in the late morning right after Hank and I got back from our morning walk, went all the way to the junction but had to be back for Wait Wait.   Having some lightening this evening but not the projected rain storm.

I think we’ll go to Sand Hollow a Utah State Park on Monday.  It’s not to far from here by Hurricane, Utah don’t know where we’ll go from there.
