Spayed
Juno went into heat last week, and with so many stray dogs around, we thought it best to have her spayed right away. We have a very good vet whose wife is actually a graduate student in our department. You can see their blog here, full of pictures of all the goats and pigs (as well as dogs and cats) who come in to their clinic.
We were worried at first because we were told that Juno would feel better the next day, but she hardly ate anything for three days and seemed to still be feeling unwell two days after the operation. But on Monday morning she jumped up as if nothing had ever been wrong and was hungry, playful, and seemed genuinely happy not to be feeling unwell anymore - almost dancing.
The stitches and cone come out Friday.

There are a number of programs out there, but I don’t use them. I’m more of a full text search type of person myself, not much caring for structured data. (In fact, I just wrote a post about this on Savage minds, so there might be some interesting comments from our readers in response.) I currently use Journler (for Mac OS X) for all my notes.
RE: Spiders. They are a real pain. Every day on our walk they seem to have spun new webs across the trail which invariably get stuck on my face …
When I was a kid, I had the chore to walk our dog who was not spayed. When she was in heat I had to carry an extra strap to use as a whip to chase away all the circling males that came. Once, before I brought a weapon, a male mounted my dog and I had to kick it off before it could begin.
We kept her in the kitchen with newspaper. She made herself a nest. Cleaning the blood from the kitchen floor was a mess. The vet gave us a dog menstral pad. She bit it off; she could not wear it or tolerate it. Whenever I petted her, she spread her legs so far that she could barely stand up…
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Too many dogs. This blog could definitely use more spiders….
Seriously, what software packages are out there for organization/analysis of anthro/ethno field notes? Do you know of a site/post/list of them?
