Day Two Hundred Sixty Eight:
Amuse Yourself | On the Ground | Dog | Game It's been a rough 8 days for Fuji... Last Friday she was attacked by a friends new-to-them dog. (They only had this new puppy for two weeks. And when I say puppy, he is about 9 months old but he is the size of a lab already ~ so quite a bit larger than my dog). All we can think of for the reason behind the attack was that Fuji got too close to his bone laying on the floor. It was a split second but quite vicious and Fuji was hurt badly. We stayed the weekend and by Monday she couldn't open her right eye so I made a vet appointment as soon as I could which wasn't until Tuesday. The vet did her check up and we realized there were three wounds from the attack (my husband and I thought there were only two). They discovered that a tooth was broken during the attack which caused an abscessed tooth. They took blood to check for any other problems before we discussed surgery for her mouth and I was heartbroken to find out that she has early stages of kidney failure. Yes, it's been a rough week for both of us. She is now on three different meds and a special (expensive) diet for her kidney issues. Fuji is 13 years old. I officially adopted her on 9/12/2003. She has been my very best friend all these years and I am not giving up on her yet. Especially when I still see signs of the young puppy that she once was. Here, she kept running back and forth to the door like "come on mom ~ I want to go back in the house and get back to my nap" that I so rudely woke her from. She was running and prancing and jumping at me. This is a common game we play.

This is the second time I have taken on this challenge. I completed a 365 in 2014 - took 2015 off and decided that this year I wanted to do another challenge. I am part of an amazing group of talented photographers who post an image from an interpretation of a prompt that we receive every day in our e-mail. It's so neat to see how differently a person perceives a simple word or concept and how they translate that into a photograph. I am kicking myself that I didn't do a challenge in 2015 so this is me getting back into doing something I enjoy so very much! Archives
