Sick dog and frost on the pumpkin.

We had our first frost of the season last night. It was 3-4 weeks ahead of normal, and only a few days short of setting a record for early freezes. No, it wasn't a record, but it was the earliest freeze since 1925. I assume it's one more indication of global warming.

Sassy, our old Maltese, experienced an attack of extreme pain tonight. She began yelping and sprawled on the floor in agony. There was no indication that anything was wrong earlier, and after a minute or two, she relaxed as the pain apparently went away. We had no clue what might have caused it, but I suppose it was age-related in some way. I only hope that the next time it happens during the day when a vet is available. I hate not being able to better communicate with animals.
