Labor Day Weekend

What a weekend, Paul & I, along with our dog, Solomon had a great weekend ... well, for the most part it was great! Kind of wish it was more of a vacation than a weekend away. We spent the weekend at Keetle Moraine State Park camping. We had the pleasure of camping with the Hogg Family and Paul's sister Leslie. Setup was easy and then we headed to our friends house for an afternoon of fun! Leslie met us at Walmart and off we went. The Grams house offered us much amenities of fun along with canoeing, paddle boat, & swimming. Solomon scratched his cornia this past week and we had to watch in horror as he decided to rub his face in the sand roughly. I'm sure along with his other problem that he will be receiving medicine for that eye for another week! Ugh, he struggles and it becomes more and more complicated to give him the ointment. On the down side, Paul thought he would help but cutting out some of the burros from his fur and cut through his skin .. which landed us in the Animal Hospital and Solomon having to wear an ecollar / cone around his head. It was kind of funny to see him struggle with the collar on but very painful to Paul having to constantly see the reminder of his mistake and pain he caused on our puppy. Though we are now home and it has become an extension of his body, Solomon is ready for this cone to come off but is getting use to it every minute it is on. All in all, we had a very enjoyable weekend and great weather! We learned a lot from this trip and know what we can do better next time.
