When quail visit!

Good evening! Hope you had a WONDERFUL week! It's been over 100 everyday here, like they expected but last night, we had a freak storm pass through!! The winds got so bad, i thought for sure we would lose power but it stayed on! it cooled down for a little bit & then it just felt muggy! ugh! DH & i have been using the pool quite a bit, this week, even though we can only be in it, an hour at a time because the sun is just too intense, even I burn!! lol
We had to make another appointment for Coco, with the vet, and are not too happy about it. He needed his anal glands expressed (sorry, if you are having breakfast) and they said something about it being almost impacted and so we naturally "assumed" (i hate that word!) that they took care of it for him! i mean, who would leave the dog with impacted anything!?? And this is the first time we ever even heard about these things, that need attention!! And the money we paid surely ASSURED us that it was taken care of, until we get him home and he STILL seems bothered by his back end!! so we give a day or two thinking that it was irritated and may still bother him a bit and this week passes. Today he just seemed SOOOOOOOO bothered by his back end that he didn't even want to lay with us, he laid in the bathroom entryway! and when he is out with us, he has his nose in the back end!!!!! so we called and expressed our feelings OBVIOUSLY MUCH BETTER than they did his glands and we have to wait til Monday morning before they could see my poor little guy!!
Needless to say, i was a bit on the depressed side today even though the quail came by, for quite a LONG time today, and tried to lift my spirits.
i did manage to get a few pretty nice pictures of them! Hope you enjoy! :)
