Yep, my daffodils are blooming too. Although I love seeing them I am worried that if we finally get a winter there will be some serious damage. I am thinking of a few years ago when a prolonged severe freeze damage the alfalfa crop and then the drought took the rest of the hay production that year. Hopefully not - I am ready for spring!!!!

Although never confirmed (expensive testing and he was 37 at the time) the leading diagnosis was EPM. We chose not to treat since the options are not only very expensive, but the outcomes are variable - complete resolution to moderate persistent ataxia to euthanasia. We did try prednisone and some other conservative treatments - but in the end, we had to help him across the bridge. I had not heard of EPM up until that time. However, I will never forget it now.
