Social distancing can be difficult, especially when you’re an overly friendly Golden Retriever like Asa. However, I never realized what extremes Asa would go through to make new friends, while missing his old ones. It all began earlier this summer when Asa rolled on an anthill in an attempt to invite his little friends inside […]
As I shared earlier, sadly my Honey Bees did not survive the winter and my hives sat empty this spring, when I was unable to order more due to the pandemic. However, hope springs eternal! Therefore I made my hives as welcoming as could be to hopefully attract new bees. I left the frames laden […]
Today I thought I’d give you an update on Mom and Dad’s poor grooming during the pandemic. When I last updated you back in April, Dad was sporting the same hairstyle that a young Justin Bieber made famous in the early 2000s, and after a failed haircutting attempt Mom’s bangs looked like Mara Wilson’s in […]
I’m not one to complain about my neighbors. Live and let live, right? But Mr. Hawk has truly become annoying. You may recall that earlier this summer while flying overhead he almost dropped his takeout dinner on Mom. Since then not only has he clumsily littered our driveway with more mice, he’s become very vocal. […]
Prior to Mom’s surgery she received a packet of information from the hospital that Asa and I carefully reviewed. Included was the recommendation, “avoid making major purchases immediately following surgery.” No problem, or so I thought. To fully appreciate this post you must understand that Mom is not one to make impulse purchases. In fact […]
Now you would think things were quiet here during Mom’s recovery. Truth is that is far from the case. In fact, it was quite loud on more than one occasion. You could even say it was alarming! It all began the day before Mom’s surgery at 4:12 AM, when the smoke alarms started going off. […]
For the past month Asa and I have been working as a team taking care of Mom following her surgery. Asa has been focused on Mom’s emotional wellbeing, while I worked closely with Dad to keep everyone on a schedule, as well as act as Mom’s physical therapist. However despite our efforts, I can’t help […]
Good news! Mom is slowly, emphasis on slowly, getting better! Mom’s surgery went well, but she had a bit of a setback when it turned out she is allergic to most of the medications they gave her. So not only did she have to deal with the trauma of surgery, Mom had to cope with […]
We’ve been keeping a secret from you. Mom’s surgery in early March didn’t go as well as we hoped. The doctor realized she needs a bigger surgery. Then the pandemic hit, and Mom has been nervously waiting for it to be scheduled. Personally, I don’t know why she didn’t go see my veterinarian, Dr. Doug. […]
Although community fireworks may be canceled, take precautions for celebrations closer to home that may startle your dog. Do not let your guard down! Fireworks may be closer than usual as neighbors put on their own backyard celebrations. The sad statistic of more dogs go missing on the 4th of July remains true. The following […]
