My week off

I decided to use some of my PTO this last week. It builds up so fast and I really needed some time at home. I managed to get a few things done that I have been putting off. The week ended on a sad note though. Sandy has been sick lately. She hasn't been able to keep food down and seemed to be thirsty all the time. She is considered pretty old for a dog and Shar Pei's are a difficult breed to care for but we haven't had very many problems. Probably because she was a house dog. I had made an appointment at the vet but she didn't last and died on Friday. It is possible she developed cancer. Several years ago the vet had tested for it because she had suddenly gotten a discoloration of her skin. It was negative then but who knows maybe it was dormant for awhile. Dan buried her in the back yard and my mom put some flowers on her grave. We will all miss her.
