Winter in Sydney..

Once again, Winter is here. Hard to believe half the year is almost over! In a few weeks another semester of classes starts, only a year to go until I graduate. It may not snow in the suburbs of Sydney, but it has certainly been cold enough in the mornings and at night! Frankie is extra snuggly and spending more time in his (seven) beds, and taking full advantage of his cute face's ability to make me carry him up the stairs! We've had a lot of phone calls at the Vet clinics from owners with dogs suffering from arthritis, which I've had to answer with my left hand because a Fox Terrier bit my right thumb. I guess It had to happen eventually, and it did last Tuesday. It seemed like no big deal until I woke up on Wednesday morning and it had swollen to twice its normal size. After a week of antibiotics and a pretty big bandage, it's much better but may still have some nerve damage. Time will tell. Last Thursday, Frankie did a photoshoot with a dog photographer. The guy was a little, uh, different.. he commented that Frankie is an "old soul", an observer, very serious.. which he is- but then he started talking about how 'unclear it is' what he 'may have been in a past life'.. and that was the end of that conversation for me lol.
