Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
Nala’s always had problems with gooey, yeasty ears and ear infections that flare up from time to time, but the past couple of weeks her ears have been particularly gooey. They’re starting to clear up after a good flushing at the vet last week and treatment with Zymox.
A lot of things can cause chronic yeast infections in dogs and Nala has several of those working against her (loves water, floppy ears and slightly narrower ear canals than normal). They can also often a symptom of a food allergy or sensitivity, so to cover that possibility Nala’s being switched to Nature’s Logic Lamb for a while. It’s still lamb (she’s on California Natural Lamb & Rice now), but switches the carbohydrate component to millet. We’ll see how she does on that for a little while. Simba will stay on the CN L&R, because he’s still doing fine on it and there’s no reason to switch him.
Liberty, the bald eagle at the SC Aquarium.
Today the SC Aquarium kicked off a new penguin program, the Waddle Wagon. It’s a spiffy little wagon that lets the penguins get out of the Penguin Planet enclosure and into the Aquarium amongst all their adoring fans. Only one or two of the penguins will be in it at a time. Penguin 138 (the youngest one) got to ride in it today.
At the moment, it’s going to be an afternoon program, that will happen at 1:30PM, just before the regular 2PM show and feeding.
There was a pretty decent sized crowd today for being the weekend after Thanksgiving, and everybody seemed pretty excited to get up close to a penguin.
Go check it out! It’s pretty cool!
I found out about Help-Portrait through an email from a friend, who learned about it through an email from another friend.
It’s a pretty fascinating project, an opportunity to help people through photography.
Help-Portrait is a movement of photographers who are using their time, equipment and expertise to give back to those who are less fortunate this holiday season
The ball’s already rolling to do one in Charleston. Are you interested in participating?
