Swollen Stampy face





We were all at the barn yesterday, and less than 30 minutes after we got home, this is what Stampy's face did.
I think this is the 3rd time, and the 3rd worst.
I suspect it's some sort of bug biting him in the backyard.
He got 6 ccs of children's benadryl, a call to the emergency vet (which was unfortunately just static), and then 3 ccs of benadryl an hour later.
He's still swollen this morning, but not nearly as bad.

Teton Pics

I took a few before the sun hit the mountains or the barn - here I am with Wallis.

The first light hits the mountains and the barn.   It happened in about a span of 3 minutes with perfect light.

Just inside the park there is a pullout with this sign.

Of course, Old Faithful. It hadn't gone yet, but fortunately, had to wait about 20 minutes.

Additions

She LOVES to play in the hose (especially splashing on the grass) and she super loves to play with ice cubes.

Tom's thoughts from July 21:
Having a puppy is tiring and awesome. I've forgotten how cool it is.

Stampy and Luna are fine as long as we are home with them. I left Stampy and Luna in the backyard while I started mowing the front lawn, and when I went back to check she was sitting on the chair (!) by herself, waiting for me to come back. I have no idea how she got up there.

She loves cream cheese, and wants to learn how to type.

I tried mowing the back, but she is afraid of the mower. I need you there to reassure her that it's OK. She runs in the house and goes under the bed. She'll come right out, and does this crawling thing to get out, and even when she is out from under the bed, she keeps crawling. Really funny.

She's starting to show some signs of nervousness, but I think it's because there are areas where she is comfortable now (in the bedroom, in the backyard.) I think this is normal puppy confidence.

Highlights of Luna's first three weeks

She grew from 13 pounds to 18 pounds.
At my last horse show, she and Wallis pulled on Tom at exactly the wrong moment, making him touch dog doo-doo. Fortunately, I had wet wipes in the horse trailer, but I refused to touch Tom for hours and hours.
She gets the puppy crazies to try to stay awake and runs and runs and runs. She also bites when she is trying to stay awake.
She likes to go through the cat door. Because she can.
She also likes to chase cats who stupidly run away.
She really, really, really likes treats.
Her naps are shorter and less frequent in week 3 than in week 1.
She is a bit saucy, and when she's gotten in trouble and doesn't feel like being contrite, talks back.
She likes to dig. Especially the plant in the house right now.
She is not housebroken yet, even though she has been basically coddled with attention from day 1. This seems odd, since she seems pretty smart.
She likes to play tug of war.
She already understands "sit".
She had an excellent time playing with Janis's dog Carley, who is a year old retriever.
She sleeps well in her crate.
She likes going on walks, but doesn't walk so great on the leash.
She is scared of Stampy barking.
She is sort of scared, but sort of oblivious to, Willig.
She likes to chew on shoes. Especially Tom's.
She is very, very cute.
