June 21. The longest day of the year. The summer solstice. When I lived in the south the solstice would come and go, and I would hardly notice. In the north it's impossible to miss. Today the sunrise was at 4:27 am and the sunset is at 11:37 pm. The change in daylight happens so fast. And as soon as tomorrow the days will quickly become shorter again.
We have a sick dog. On Sunday his eyes started to swell. We called the vet and he suggested giving him an antihistamine. I left him at the vet for the day on Tuesday hoping they would find time to do an eye exam. When they phoned later that afternoon the vet raved about how great Padfoot was to work on. I felt like a proud mom :-) They couldn't figure out what was causing the swelling, so I took him home with cream for his eyes. I cleaned the house last night (maybe he's allergic to dog fur? ha ha). He seems to be doing much better tonight. Poor puppy.
