And this, too, shall pass

It looks like BlackJack may be back to his old self. I gave him some of the cats' hairball remedy, & he was a little perkier after napping.
We took both boys for a walk to the park & while we were out, he passed something pretty nasty! And, yes, we're good doggy parents so we, & by we I mean I, cleaned it up.
He'll have dinner soon & I'll see how he does after that!

We met two dogs who came down the back side of their property to the fence, and they both appear to have had their vocal cords either removed or at least operated on so that they couldn't bark. I have heard of that being done to serious guard dogs so that they could sneak up on people, but I don't think that I've ever actually met a dog whose bark was just a whisper. Definitely a little weird, especially since they both were like that!
The boys found a deer (fawn) carcass, too -- yum -- but we managed to keep them off of it! I don't think that it had been poached, as it was fairly intact.
I'm sure that the vultures will do a good job with it, but I may call the county tomorrow in case they want to remove it.
