I haven't posted in a few days, so I just wanted to let everyone know all is well. We are getting rain today from the typhoon that is passing just south of the peninsula. Okinawa was hit hard according to CNN International, but winds gusted at 90mph and I am sure they have dealt with much worse. Nonetheless I worry for Bill's nephew, Robert, and his family who are stationed there with the USMC.
Yesterday we had our Korean cable hooked up, so we now have more than the one channel American Forces Network is broadcasting. AFN usually has 7 or 8 channels, but the government shut down has all channels but that one off the air. My dad said the commissary on Hunter AAF is closed for the time being. Thankfully they won't close our commissaries since we are overseas.
I had Marie at the veterinary clinic on Humphreys yesterday for her annual visit. The vet said leptospirosis was a big problem here, so I should avoid standing water. I had Marie vaccinated with the L4 and will have Tweek done today. I am afraid to give that to Pepsi because it may trigger her inflammatory bowel disease to flare. I also discovered I would not be able to get her or Dollar's prescription foods through the vet clinic. I homecooked for Pepsi yesterday; took me pretty much all day. I only have one 5 quart pot, and the oven is small, so I did several batches. I may need to do this for Dollar as well, but I have plenty of his dry food, and the little bit of canned he gets can be whatever.
I called Osan's vet clinic, and they don't need a civilian vet either, but they do have a rescue group there called Homeward Bound that could use a volunteer vet. I spoke with the vet on Osan and will get over there next week to see what is needed and how I can help.
That pretty well sums up the last few days. I will hopefully have more exciting things to tell next time!
