Three weeks. Three veterinary appointments. And yes, I needed one of Dad’s spreadsheets to keep track of everything they told me. So get comfy as I update you on my eye, nose, and even a new primary veterinarian! First up, I had my 4 month followup with my eye doctor. Good news! Despite everything with […]
I’m BACK! I’m still not 100%, but I’m feeling a lot better since my surgery earlier this month. So to celebrate my return, I feel inspired to write a poem! I still look a fright But my time away was a delight It was good to unplug While I healed from that fungal bug I […]
For the record, Fungi is NOT a Fun Guy! I totally misheard him when he introduced himself and asked to come inside my nose to play. However, the eviction process is well underway now, and soon I’ll be feeling much better thanks to my surgery. But oh what a scary process it was to get […]
Friends, I’ve been keeping a secret. It all began a few months ago when I started making an occasional throat clearing noise after lying down. It was thought I had acid reflux. Treatment somewhat made the symptoms subside, but not really. So next there were scans of my abdomen and x-rays of my throat to […]

Join me in helping future dogs add more days to their lives, by supporting the Morris Animal Foundation. For over a decade, the Morris Animal Foundation has been on a mission […]
With Hurricane Erin churning up the water off the coast of New England, and hot dry weather causing toxic algae blooms in lakes and ponds, I thought I’d take this opportunity to remind dogs about water safety. Whether it is the ocean, pond or puddle, each comes with their own unique safety issues for dogs. […]
And so it begins, you hear a loud bang, maybe notice lights falling from the sky, and the air suddenly smells different. Your fight or flight instincts kick in. This is how many dogs respond to fireworks. It is also why sadly more dogs go missing on the 4th of July than any other day […]
AWESOME NEWS! I had the followup for my ER visit with my ophthalmologist, and he said, “Asa’s reevaluation today showed excellent resolution of the retinal hemorrhage!” In fact, the hemorrhage that was detected at my last scheduled appointment with him in March is now reduced to a “fine ribbon,” and there is no sign of […]
Monday morning I awoke with blood in the white part of my eye. Having already lost one eye to the genetic disease Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis, I knew right away that I had to get to the Animal Hospital ER. Thankfully, I wasn’t in pain like the day I lost my left eye, and I […]
Yawn. Oh, please excuse me for being so rude by yawning. I’m very sleepy from yesterday’s adventure. It all started a couple nights ago. I was getting ready for bed, and Dad gave me treats. I thought it was odd, because Dad never gives me treats before bed. But hey, who am I to turn […]
