Christmas is a’comin and I got the blues
Again. I get the blues every year. In the spirit of “I can control my reactions,” I’m trying to not let it get to me. Today was not one of the best. Max decided to be a dog. Yes, a dog. I know he’s a...

It sure is Monday!
Max woke me up at some point, whining in his sleep. I think it was a bad dream, he settled right down when I put my hand on him. He went back to sleep, I was awake for an hour just petting him. The...

This and that Tuesday
We went for a walk. That’s a truly wonderful thing, since we haven’t been able to walk for at least the past month. I got some really good advice about using the Halti and I put it in practice and...

This and that and then the other
The groomer is 99% positive it’s a lipoma, but I called the vet anyway. Can’t hurt to be sure. He’s very tired now, getting groomed takes a lot out of him. And we’ve been busy since last...

Max’s lump
Last week I found a lump under Max’s front right armpit, more on the chest area. Immediate panic set in. I called the vet in the morning, made an appointment. I was taking him to the groomer that day,...

Cold, damp, ouch
The good thing about it raining all day is that I don’t have to water the garden. The bad thing is that the damp is making my bones ache – chondritis is not my friend. Chondritis isn’t anyone’s friend!...

I’m a sucker
Or maybe just a softie. I’m ruining my reputation. Sigh Yesterday my husband told me that a cat had been sleeping on the septic cover. He said, “she looks hungry, but we’re not keeping her.” Last...

Bittersweet and melancholy
Fourteen years ago I moved to Pennsylvania, leaving behind my entire family. Most of them didn’t care, and some of them did. I went back a few times, once a year, for the first few years. Then...
