Big Dump Run & Hayde

We did a BIG clean-up today!  Jeremy made one trip to the dump solo with a lot of big bits of wood we had laying around.  He took the big stump we hauled out last spring from the dead tree we took down so that's finally gone!!!  I'm so excited about that!  We then filled the truck to the max with all the scrap metal we had and more bits of wood, dry wall and carpet we had in the living room.  That also is really nice to be rid of.  While Jeremy was gone with the first load, I started in on the garage.  I cleaned up and re-organized some of the mess so it was easier to get to other bits we wanted to get rid of.  It's starting to look much better.  Here's a picture of the new corner Jeremy's been working on - without the welding wedge wall!  He even got the light you can see working again.
We had stashed all the extra full pieces of wood, trim and siding in the garage-shed so we had a little bit of extra room in the garage.  Jeremy got a few shelves up to hold some of this so we could get it off the ground.  We can actually walk thru the garage-shed now too.  We still have a bit to go, but it's getting there.
Now to poor Hayde.  I was hoping she'd bounce back.  She ate the canned food Thursday night and did eat Friday morning, however she was a bit more hesitant.  Friday evening, it took four hours of proding her with the canned food for her to eat.  She finally ate a bit after I put her bowl down between her and Stewart and Stewart was definitely interested in it too.  But, today, she hasn't eaten anything.  She looks so sad and spent most of the day lying around snoozing even though we had her outside most of the day while we were working.  I'm so disappointed I missed the vet calling to check on her.  I've been contemplating whether I should call or not.  I'm tempted to try tomorrow to see if I can get the vet on-call rather than having to wait until Monday morning.  I'm fearing there's something much more seriously wrong and I'm concerned if I wait too long.  I think they need to do some blood tests to see if they can pick anything up.
We did get out fishing for a little bit tonight.  Hayde came with and certainly got a bit more excited, but still wasn't as excited as usual when we pulled in fish.  She did lick the net like she normally does.  I outfished Jeremy and pulled in two perch and two nice walleye.  Jeremy got one walley and one perch.
