I love my dogs. Just in case you didn’t know that. I really can’t imagine life without my pets. Losing one is heartbreaking and the pain is very really. However, the joy they bring to my world everyday is immeasurable. I try to give them the happiest life in return. That being said my Zoey has been suffering from a luxating patella. Her knee cap moves out of place. Unfortunately., this isn’t uncommon in French Bulldogs. We have been able…
 I can’t believe he’s only been with us for four months because we didn’t get him until he was eight weeks old. He’s honestly been the best puppy that I ever had. He has been out of the crate for so long, I don’t know why I still haven’t put it away. I certainly can’t imagine putting him in there. He sleeps with Zoey and I in the big bed. He stays out if I have to leave the…
I want to thank all my family and friends who helped me get Minx. It is always devastating losing a dog and the passing of my Marshmallow was exactly that. Marshmallow was my shadow for 11 years and losing him left a very big whole in my heart. Looking for puppies actually was the one thing that helped. I knew I would never find another Marshmallow , but I knew I wanted another dog. I jumped around from breed to…
It is Zoey’s fourth birthday. She received all new Nylabones for her birthday and she was pretty happy. Zoey is my first and only girl dog. She has the sweetest temperament and is adored by everyone. Plus she is adorable. I realized today that she is the only dog who has been with every one of my dogs even if briefly. She came the week before my Boomer passed. He was the only one not fond of her so I…
Still struggling with making the right call on my Marshy’s death. I questioned why nothing showed up in his bloodwork, urine or stool taken 6 weeks ago. I biopsies a lump on his side and I questioned a strange growing skin tag. How is he gone six weeks after his annual that he was fine at? My vet called me this morning explaining that cancer is different in dogs. There are some very aggressive cancers that can happen within weeks….
I woke up early today. I feel good, rested and ready to start the day. I wake up every morning happy. How can I not? The first thing I see are smiles My Plakie Humpty Dumpty dolls I’ve collected all my life. They always make me feel happy. Then I have my Zoey who is cuddled up next to me. She’ll stay sleeping until she senses any movement from me and then her eyes are wide open. Marshy is usually…
My baby boy is 11 today. My April Fool’s Day puppy. Purchased for my daughter on her 10th birthday and he’s been attached to me since the day we brought him home. After doing tons of research before choosing my English Bulldog, we did none for the French. We thought he’d be a smaller version of our Boomer. We were very wrong. Named because he was white and we’d thought he’d be “mellow” we actually spell his name Marshmellow but…
Good morning, happy Monday. I’m definitely on the recovery side of things and I’m so grateful for that. I’m hoping to play mahjong for a little today with the ladies in my building. I might not be able to play all day but I’ll be thrilled if I can get through a few hours. I canceled therapy for tomorrow because without an aid with me I am worried I’d be too fatigued on my own. That leads me to today’s…
My vacation comes to an end today. We are leaving for home in the early afternoon. I had a wonderful time with my family, as I always do, but my other family is at home. I miss my dogs. I know I sound like a crazy person to some people but I do. I’m with my fur babies 24/7 and when I leave for a period of days, I miss them. I miss them the most when I’m going to…
Another grey day in NY. Not that it actually bothers me but it did help me sleep until 8:45 today. I woke up when my dogs barked and ran off when my aid came in the apartment. I don’t know if that necessarily constitutes watch dogs since they would have probably ran off and been excited by anyone who came inside. Thankfully it was just her and my day began as normal. There isn’t much on the docket today. I…
