Duncan and crew were getting ready for the annual St. Patrick’s Day parade, and then this happened:
Possible torn ACL, no broken bones
There must have been one of those squirrels out in the back yard that morning. Duncan the dog does not like squirrels and while he was out making sure our yard was free of those pests, he may had injured his back left leg– at least when he came back in he was limping. Our local vet was booked solid, and since the vet said he was concerned about pain (and it would be three days before he could see Duncan) he said to take him to the emergency vet, either the CSU school or the VCA in Loveland. So no parade, although someone offered to have Duncan ride on a flatbed truck, we decided Duncan had enough excitement for the day.
Then this happened
There is this cat who lives at the Armstrong hotel. The night after the parade some goofy kids (or young adults) got miffed when they couldn’t book a room at the hotel so they scooped up the cat in the hotel lobby. This made national headlines! The goofy kids (or young adults) probably took the cat a block or two and then let it go, but the police were involved and security tapes were examined for possible clues. Please note:
1) The cat came back.
2) Frickin’ cat has its own Facebook !
