I’m in stage four of a mild cold: sinus congestion. (stages 1-3 are: throat sensitivity, sneezing and sore throat). I don’t think I’m going to be getting any worse. I planned to take yesterday off as a sick day to take my dog to the dentist. I consider this a completely appropriate use of sickContinue reading “Already behind”

Carcass
Did you ever think you’d see the day when I’d be buying chicken hearts in bulk and feeding raw meat to my dog? After reading a lot about the health benefits of raw feeding (less shedding, no bad breath, smaller poops, walking on two legs, growing opposable thumbs), in addition to my concern that herContinue reading “Carcass”
My canine’s canines
I loved getting a root canal so much that I’m getting one for my dog. A little more than a year ago, I noticed that one of Isis’ teeny little lower front teeth looked like it had been worn down. I googled it, got scared and took her to the vet, whose reaction was basically,Continue reading “My canine’s canines”
Behold Toy Time
Isis has started some new training. I’ve described before various incidents that were amusing, or embarrassing, or perhaps frightening to the person on the other end. And I’ve watched The Dog Whisperer and thought all I had to do is walk, walk, walk this dog until she stops scaring people. It used to be thatContinue reading “Behold Toy Time”
Mouse House
Apparently, mouse invaders have a schedule. At this same time last year,** we discovered mouse turds and murdered two mice. After we found the second mouse, I got an ultrasonic, electoromagnetic magic forcefield. I assumed it worked, since we didn’t have another mouse for an entire year! However, last night I was turning off theContinue reading “Mouse House”
I told you Stew was a girl
I love it when I’m right. More than a year ago, Stew was acting a little sluggish and not eating, and I thought she might be “egg-bound.” I did some internet reading and learned that you can help female iguanas lay their eggs by creating an egg box. If they are unable to lay theContinue reading “I told you Stew was a girl”

Monkey man
If you don’t follow SYTYCD (Canada or otherwise), surely you’d like to hear the latest on my dog. While we were in California for Thanksgiving, Isis tore the legs off of one of the first toys we ever got her. A stuffed monkey with stretchy legs we cleverly named “Monkey Man.” Rob got it forContinue reading “Monkey man”
I am calm. And assertive. Calm. And assertive.
As the weather is turning, the dog park has become less fun. Also, I got the cold shoulder a few weeks ago from a couple with a boxer, with whom Isis had played before, but on this day they didn’t seem to care for Isis’ aggressive play tactics (unusually so, for her) and left. AndContinue reading “I am calm. And assertive. Calm. And assertive.”
