Abstract Thursday ....

... decoration.

I was busy from early morning to late night with bookended appointments! The first was my own and the nighttime one was a follow up for Cheddar's eye.

When I returned from my own appointment and after lunch I went out to the backyard to get my SquirrelsEtc shot.  And when I came back in Richard had put on a reindeer decoration (hat) on Cheddar.  He was pretty good about it so I was able to get a few shots of him.  I've used the in-camera effect for the abstract as I'm still trying to maintain my December SOOC challenge. 

Cheddar's appointment tonight went very well.  The vet said his eye looks great and there's no sign of the infection.  Yay!  No more putting in ointment!  Although I must say he was very good about us putting it in. I would hold him inside a blanket while Richard applied the cream to his eye.  He was able to get the yearly vaccinations that we had planned on getting last week. He wasn't able to get them last week due to the eye infection. 

Oh .. I almost forgot to mention  that I saw my first snow geese of the season this morning on my way to my appointment!
