It was a wild couple of days. Those of you who follow me know that Leelu had one of her “episodes” last Thursday. Pain in one of her legs sent her to her go-to place whenever she is in pain or scared: snapping at faces and hands, baring her teeth, growling, etc. She’s pretty scary…Read more »
Living at the Vet’s Office
I am beginning to feel as if I should just pitch a tent, or rent an RV and park it at the vet’s office. It was a wild afternoon, though the ending was good. I think Leelu’s look here says it all: It all started around 1:00 when I went to take Leelu and Gracie…Read more »
Choices
In the last week or two, with my pet sitting business so quiet, I’ve hit the books. And the computer. It seems like a good time to learn as much as I can about dogs and dog training, while my world is relatively quiet. (It is also a really good way to distract myself from…Read more »
Happy New Year
Gracie was apparently having a cat moment this morning while visiting with the foster kittens. She’s either considering being a therapy CAT in the next life, or just enjoying surveying the action in the room. Either way, from on top of her “throne” she wishes you -and I do too – happy new year. Let’s…Read more »
Raining Sick Animals
Our poor critters can’t seem to catch a break lately. Bodhi’s second eye looks bad, and the vet kindly scheduled him for surgery tomorrow morning (this morning by the time you see this), on New Year’s Eve because it really can’t wait. We’re sorting out how he will get the meds he has been getting…Read more »
Bodhi Chronicle: Eye Update
Bodhi went to the vet’s today for a recheck on the removed eye, to get the stitches out, and to see if the new eye drops are helping the remaining eye. Well, good news and less good news. The removed eye socket has healed very nicely and the stitches came out, so all is well…Read more »
Merry Christmas from Luke and Leia
Luke and Leia are very excited…well, maybe it is me who is very excited. They have an approved couple that plans to adopt them both in January once Leia is spayed. They haven’t all met yet, but that happens Monday and I will be surprised (and very disappointed!) if it falls apart. They’ve seen pictures…Read more »
Gracie Chronicles: Year in Review
Gracie, being the little diva that she is, has been a little peeved that the kittens we’ve fostered got their own year in review, and then Bodhi got all the attention. She has been quite clear with me that she expects equal time…pronto! So, just to keep the little belle happy, here’s a year of…Read more »
Bodhi Chronicles: Surgery Success
Bodhi is home from his surgery, and did fine, and we are relieved. The vet had a cancellation and was able to get him in today, rather than next week. We are so thankful for that…it was clear he was so uncomfortable, though like many dogs, he was stoic about it. He looks a bit…Read more »
Bodhi Chronicles: Eye Trouble
Bodhi doesn’t get nearly as much attention here as some of our other critters, in large part because he is a daddy’s dog and mommy writes the blog, but today he’s the center of attention. Yesterday morning Marley noticed that Bodhi was squinting in his left eye and that the usual white color (Bodhi was…Read more »
