My grandfather had cut a lot of timber to sell and it was all destroyed by the 1916 flood.

Three up close and I don't want to get any closer.

You haven't truly lived until you see cinder blocks and bricks swirling in the air. Scary stuff.

The gabapentin is helping a lot. She's not howling as much. I still have to hand feed her and hold her when she drinks. I don't think that's going to improve. Unfortunately.

Thanks so much for asking. ❤️

She hates fireworks and when my neighbors through the woods decide to shoot their guns at whatever they shoot at...though.
