Resting and waiting …

I have an appointment with a doctor today, because the numbness has not abated. Oh, it did go away somewhat, and very quickly after last Tuesday’s “episode”. The left- side numbness came on swiftly, but after only a couple of hours, was noticeably “better”, leaving generalized (left side only) tingling and a feeling like Novocain … Continue reading →

Title? no title …

I started a draft of a blog post two days ago, while I was shedding tears over the horrible school shooting in Florida. The first three paragraphs were lame and rambling, and I shelved this attempt at “chat”. Did a modicum of redecorating in the kennel building today. Years ago, I added a few shelves … Continue reading →

The dogs of Christmas …

I didn’t get many posts made over the last two weeks. You’ll enjoy seeing some of the faces of pets who were here over the holidays.

Bella & Remy, and Bella too …

That feeds my soul. In the photos, they are waiting for me to feed them, period. This shepherd cross dog is … Continue reading →

Mi Bella and more …

Bella came to the Pet Hostel with a pinched nerve (as it turns out), “radial nerve paralysis”. This was probably caused by a fall at … Continue reading →

Happy Monday

I know… that’s lame. As I go through every day (as I claim to be working and oh so busy), I think of what I’ll write to you in my blog. That is DAILY, and yet when I get to supper time and later, I lose my muse, inspiration and energy to write. I’m thinking … Continue reading →
