This morning Olivia & I took Sophie to see Dr. Olsen at Raven Vet in North Pole. She needed some surgery to get rid of old sutures that were infected & emerging from her belly. Poor Sophie! Dr. Olsen was fantastic & let me watch while Olivia played on the floor. She is a holistic vet & has a very welcoming cabin clinic. If I was an animal, I would pick her as my vet. While Sophie was waking up from her sedation, a futon mattress along the wall began to stir ... and out snuffled a pot belly pig with a green pedicure! Her name is Poppy. Olivia was a little nervous about the pig & her large mouth and cried after petting her. Maybe next time the piggy won't be as scary. We'll be back again on Monday to take Paula & Eagle in for check-ups and for Sophie's incision to get looked over.
In the afternoon Tamara, Jamie & Lina came over to play. We built a tent in the living room and had a picnic underneath. We watched Care Bears II, my favorite of the Care Bears movies & Tamara's too. And we made & decorated sugar cookies in a variety of shapes - bunnies, trains, flowers, shamrocks, hearts, stars & more! They were works of art. Olivia got to watch & eat lots of snacks. I think she was even trying to say "apple" to Tamara.
We got two big boxes of clothes from Robyn & Marina this evening, and one box from Mimi of Hanna Andersson clothes. We're so lucky! I haven't had a chance to look in them yet but can't wait to see all the pretty things tomorrow. Thank you!!
Tonight she had a difficult time falling asleep. Daddy says he thinks it was gas because she seemed to get dozier after some of it...escaped. So I gave her some gas drops and with a little extra nursing and a couple more lullabies we had sleepy success. Sweet dreams Olivia!
