Fern has been busy over the last month, with trips to Michigan, eastern Montana, and the emergency vet! The latter sounds worse than it actually was - details later. Our trip to Michigan included Fern's first Upper Pennisula grouse hunt. She performed well but our success rate was terrible - poor shooting - but Fern could not help but chase some of the birds before we could get to her. The learning curve is steep on grouse.
We had fun chasing pheasants in eastern Montana on the way back from Michigan. Unfortunately none were roosters, bummer!!! This past Thursday night Fern had a high speed collision with a set of elk antlers. After an expensive trip to the emergency vet, Fern left with a small puncture and a sore chest. We were slightly embarrassed that we overreacted, but Griffs are worth it, right? We did discover that the antibiotics that were prescribed didn't settle well with our girl. She was prescribed Cephalexin and as we found out it can cause upset stomach and lethargia. Fern is now back to normal after stopping the antibiotic. Anyway I just finished constructing her whelping box for her first litter, and hopefully more to follow. Above is a picture of her new baby bed, we can't wait!
