Today I’m sharing an updated version of the song I wrote three years ago when I lost my first eye to Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis (GRPU). When I wrote it in 2023, it wasn’t like my usual lighthearted parodies. I was angry. Everything happened so fast when I needed that emergency enucleation surgery. Now here […]
Dear Angel Chuck Billy, tomorrow will mark one week since my enucleation surgery due to Iris Bombe caused by Golden Retriever Pigmentary Uveitis, and what a week it has been! Although I’m sure you have been keeping a close watch over me, I thought I’d give you and our friends an update. Thankfully, each day […]
Over the years we have shared very detailed trail reviews. Angel Chuck Billy explained the dog rules, outlined the paw friendly route we took on trail networks, gave recommendations on the difficulty level, and even provided the occasional history lesson. He did none of this for the first adventure he shared on Living with a […]

Hi Chuck Billy! Today marks 11 months since you crossed Rainbow Bridge. Over that time, I’ve learned a lot of important life lessons. You always were a good mentor. Wish I paid closer attention to that stuff about meal times and how to be more assertive when I need to go out. More importantly, you […]
