Day 187

I didn't do an entry yesterday because I left my computer at home.  So I'm doing two today.

We got up in the morning, packed, and then left.  We didn't pack last night because it was 11:30 before we got back from the airport.  The drive to Kerrville was uneventful except for a stop at the Fredericksburg Walmart.  I decided I needed a whistle to control the dog (more on that in today's entry).

When we got to the club Dave was almost finished setting the targets and the other people had all of the setup well in hand.  That was good, because after were were there for about an hour and a half we noticed that one of Lucy's front legs was swollen.  It actually grew bigger as we watched it.  So we started calling every vet in Kerrville to get someone to look at her.

We started calling a little before 1.  All the vets were at lunch and at fist the earliest appointment was 3.  Then we found a person that could see her at 2.  So we went back into town, had a quick lunch, and then took her to the vet.

The vet looked at her and decided it was an allergic reaction, probably to a bite.  So she prescribed benadryl, an antibiotic, and hot/cold compresses.  She applied a cold compress while we were there and it reduced the swelling noticeably.  By the evening the swelling was about half what it was.

We went back to the club and shot the course using their guns and our ammo.  It was fun.  There wasn't anything else to do.  About 5 everyone left.  We checked into the motel.  It was a nice room.  We showered and washed the dog (she was really dusty).  Then we went to dinner with the crew.  It was a Mexican place with really good food.

The place was really crowded and it must have taken 2 to 3 hours from the time we got there until the time we were done.  So when we got back to the motel we surfed for about an hour and went to bed.
