Weather and Worms!!!

We spent yesterday around the preserve waiting for the mobile repair service to come back and finish the job on our front air conditioner. By lunch time we still hadn't heard anything so I called them. The replacement capacitor was to be ordered last Friday and here to install on Monday or Tuesday of this week. Turns out the part won't even be here until next Monday. I told the service that I was very displeased with that but there was nothing they could do about it. We'll wait to see if it shows up next Monday. I also called Lazydays in Tampa and had them add the front air conditioner to our list of service items scheduled for March 6th. They have the part in stock.

Weather warnings were the issue of the day yesterday. We swam in the morning because severe thunderstorms and heavy rain were forecasted for late in the afternoon and overnight as well. We packed up most of our outside items and also retracted our awnings waiting for the storms. Things started around 6 pm with some spectacular lightning shows well past midnight. We are not under any trees where we are, so there was no danger of a tree falling on us. Yesterday, temps were in the mid 80Fs. Today and tomorrow, we'll be lucky if we get to 60F! Think this will be a good day to do a little shopping.

We also found that Buddy does in fact have worms. Saw them in his stool yesterday morning. We managed to get him into a local vet who diagnosed tape worms. Buddy is on Front Line and Avantage now which will protect him from any further worms, ticks, fleas, etc and also help expel the tape worm over time. The vet thinks Buddy likely ingested a flea which had a tape worm in it. But there is nothing to worry about. He still has plenty of energy and does his nice little dance at meal time.
