Just a quick update to let everyone know that Petunia came through surgery just fine. Once the doctors had her under anesthesia, they decided NOT to remove her eye, and instead scraped her cornea (ouch!) and then sewed her third eyelid up over her eye to protect it and help it heal. She has to [...]

My dear Petunia is going to lose her eye. On Wednesday afternoon, she came to me and her left eye was swollen and puffy. It had been fine that morning. I called Suzi, and we decided to give Petunia some benadryl, put a warm compress on it, and watch it. Perhaps it was a bee [...]

See how I got all sidetracked? I meant to come here and share an actual pleasant dog experience that I had yesterday – I know, pleasant! *gasp* It does happen! I took my crew to the park to play ball while the baby slept off her play date exhaustion, ran Karma and Teak down, easy [...]

I’m not even going to try to catch you up on the happenings of the last, oh however many months it has been. My brain would melt. Instead, I’m going to share Petunia’s story, because I need to. When Petunia came here, it had only been about a week since we had lost darling Hazel, [...]

A few months ago, I got this comment in my inbox: “You know you sound really unpleasant, right? I typed ‘ irritating dog lady ‘ into Google, and your blog came up. I think you were first. Try it. Also, you misspelled -assistant- when you described your husband. That’s all.” I was kind of entertained [...]

I’ve been meaning to get here for quite some time, but life, it is just so busy these days. The kid, she is mobile, sort of, and the dogs, they are many. There is so much to catch up on, but it’s late, and I’m tired, so for now – I’ll leave you with this [...]

So, I’m in Wyoming visiting my Mom. Who owns not one, not two, but three pugs. Yes, three. She’s crazier than I am. Of course, I brought my dogs, so that brings the total in the house up to five. Pugs that is. Then add the goofy Labrador and the Border Collie, it’s a bit [...]

My baby and I have had a very busy few weeks. Errands, simple things that take on gargantuan proportions when toting a six month old, activities, and all manner of stuff and things. Our weekends have been packed with baby showers in far flung places, play dates, endless mounds of paperwork and filing, and trying [...]

Really, people need to quit whining about how disappointed they are about the Obama’s new dog. Seriously, with two little girls who have allergies and have never lived with a dog – who really thinks a shelter dog is a great idea? Yes, it would be lovely if all shelter dogs came with guarantees that [...]
