Back in the Saddle

Taking an early breather

After yesterday's minor surgery Becca was eager to get out into the desert this morning, but she was peppy for only about a third of the hike.  The rest of the way she was rather sluggish, in part due to the heat, I'm sure, but partly because of yesterday's traumatic experience.  Becca does not like to go to the vet, especially to the emergency vet on a Sunday morning.  Her appetite is good, though, and she's doing her business regularly, so we think she'll make a rapid recovery.  Took her "lump" to our vet later this morning to be sent off for analysis.
