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. Little Zippy was the last dog I groomed in the shop before my human darlings were with us. He’s so cuddly. I babysat another small Zippy after the Christmas … Continue reading
Annie’s gout weed project …
Suddenly, I love Aegopodium all over again. This is what my dad used to call “Snow On The Mountain” and another common name is Bishop’s Gout Weed. This plant is hardy to the point of being invasive, but as a gardening friend said, “Well you can control it, right? With a shovel?” I used to … Continue reading
Bella & Remy, and Bella too …
These are two of many extremely attractive, kind, respectful and obedient pit bull crosses that I babysit. I don’t get to see them too often, but they remembered being here and greeted me joyfully. 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 …
I’ve had lots on my mind, but I don’t know why I didn’t come here to talk things over with you. During the last week, I’ve had a little “patient”. 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
Happy Easter, everyone…
I am wishing a good Easter weekend to everybody. I’m not religious and will not be going to church, but there is a certain pleasantry to this holiday regardless of our beliefs. Gary and I watched most of ‘The Ten Commandments’ this evening, and I recall watching the movie at my mother’s side, sometime in … Continue reading
My strong stomach…
It was like a miracle. The wee doggie that had the stretched anus recovered almost completely overnight (where she was being babysat). You KNOW you want to see it: I just gave you the thumbnail this time. Who needs to see an asshole that big? When I posted these pictures, for educational purposes and … Continue reading
Holy shit!
I’m not going to mention a name, so don’t ask, but one of the dogs I handled today afforded me a whole new realm of experience. After yesterday’s “messy butt poodle”, this poor little soul was in a bigger crises. I could tell shortly after the dog arrived this morning that she didn’t feel well. … Continue reading
