I was awake literally all night, finally falling asleep sometime after 6:30 this morning and waking up in a panic at 8:15. I hurriedly dressed, grabbed Chester and Toby's collars and rushed them to the car in the rain. They had an appointment with Michelle, our longtime groomer. The dogs had a previous appointment sometime in August. It was missed ( Read more... )

What's going on today?

1. I'll be giving Chester his Summertime shaving, and I'll be clipping all the dogs' toenails. At the very least, this will take me a couple of hours. Right now the dogs are all chillaxing like they haven't a care in the world. Once the toenails start flying, they'll know that the day isn't going to be a business-as-usual day ( Read more... )

Sheba's Cushing's disease has gotten worse. She's vomiting two to three times a day and is losing muscle mass like crazy. She's also bleeding from the anus and mouth, fresh red blood, which is never a good sign. Aunt Tudi and I took her to Doc this morning and he's keeping her to run some tests to see if anything at all can be done. After the ( Read more... )

Chester's visit to the portable hair salon has been postponed until tomorrow. Aunt Tudi had some painting to do and I don't want a chunk of Chester's hair ruining her work, so I'm gonna give it 24 hours. By then the paint will be dry. Besides, I'm not feeling my best today. Nausea and fatigue are getting the better of me, so I think I'm just ( Read more... )

Instead of staying in this Saturday, Aunt Tudi and I have to go out. We must go to the drug store to pick up some of our prescriptions and we have a bill we have to pay. While we're out, we're going by the new mechanic we found. The car started alarming about needing an oil change, so we found the cheapest place around and are supposed to go ( Read more... )

The dogs keep getting me up at ungodly hours, then flopping to take a nap whilst I'm up holding the house on the precipice of madness from lack of sleep. This must stop, but I'm not really sure how to stop it. It's all Fitzgerald's fault. He's on a schedule of waking the house up at 6 am by terrorising Toby, who refuses such treatment with bites ( Read more... )

Well, I'm doing something I swore I wouldn't do. I'm getting another dog. But this isn't just a dog, it's a BEAGLE. A purebred Beagle. And he apparently looks like Snoopy. When I heard about him, the name "Fitzgerald" lodged itself into my brain's synapses ( Read more... )

beautyofgrey is trying to find a home for what seems to be an amazing dog. I'd take him in a heartbeat 'cos he reminds me a lot of Henry Herman, but I cannot take on another animal because of my crap financial issues. But I'm doing what I can, which is to share beautyofgrey's post about Bacon. All that said, here's the post. Please pass it along so we can find this ( Read more... )
