Cliff’s birthday. A nice mild day. Blanche to Portland with Aunt Ava today. I was busy all day but didn’t do much. Tonight Billie and Dave took Christie and Possum Beauty over to the dog hospital at Norway, Dr. De Goosh for female operations. Poor critters. Christie and Beauty.

A big storm last night. About six or 8 inches a very heavy wet snow. Wind blowed hard. Bill out all night from 1:30. Got home about eight for his breakfast. Lloyd took me to work today. Missed Christie and Beauty. Carmen cried when I left her today. Only one more day to leave her. $49.

Mama came home. A cloudy day, some snow flurries. Milan and a friend here. Blanche called. This is my last day to work. In p.m. Hospital called and said Mama could come home. She was so pleased but very tired and weak before she got here. Came near losing her, she collapsed. Christie and Beauty came home both bandaged. They both have been altered. Kennie here.
