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…
I have only one thing to say this morning Move over!!! I this is my bed I sleep next to the bar on my back. I don’t toss and turn. I only move my head from one side to the other. My biggest no movement is tossing the blankets aside to get out of bed for the bathroom. Then I pull them right back. I take up very little space. My Zoey and Marshmallow sleep with me every night. Every…
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…
Meet Hubert He is the Service dog of a woman, Andrea, who participates in therapy every week. She is a lovely woman but her dog, he is amazing. Nothing makes me happier than seeing him. Unlike most Service dogs, Andrea lets him get pet while wearing his hair vest. He gets a lot of love from everyone, especially from me. I conquer occupational, physical and pet therapy all in one day. It was because of this dog I wanted to…
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…

https://youtu.be/emapZzstxzU Another year has gone by and another number added to my years alive. I certainly am not complaining. I am actually grateful. Things were really good this year. My life was completely changed by many people, friends, family and others that barely know me contributing to my fundraiser for my van. This was at the perfect time when walking with my walker was becoming too difficult. This van gave me freedom. I was able to conserve energy that I…
My poor Zoey. I took her to the vet yesterday because she’s been limping on her back paw every now and then. Other times she is fine jumping and running like normal. I thought it was a strange quirk. It’s not. Her left back knee is popping out and her hopping is her actually trying to put it back in place. There is a name for it but I don’t remember it. It has something to do with the lack…
Bubba is back. Bubba is the name I gave to my handicap van. He’s a big boy so Bubba seemed fitting. Turned out it only needed a battery. Good to know that even as the battery dies the ramp still works. Well $200 later he is fixed, sort of. The back sensors that were installed when I bought the car aren’t working. I asked the place that was fixing the car to fix those too but they can only be…
