Next week, it will be six years since our giddy, goofy Beagle girl, Blossom Possum, took her final breath. October 17, 2017, was her last day on earth, but she lives forever in the hearts of those who knew her. We brought her home on February 11, 2011. I naively thought I was just goingContinue reading “Furry Friday – Blossom Possum”

Furry Friday – Road Trip
The first week of October is a time of great celebration in our household. It’s our wedding anniversary as well as the anniversary of my second heart transplant. Every year, we return to Nashville for my annual heart checkup at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and we get to revisit our favorite places from when weContinue reading “Furry Friday – Road Trip”
Furry Friday – It’s Allergy Season
September has been a rough month for allergies in our house. My sinuses have been harboring an unwelcome infection for most of the month, and Gidget has upgraded her usual anxious paw licking to her special irritated paw chewing. I’ve been keeping a close eye on her paws, and they don’t look inflamed. Bruce, however,Continue reading “Furry Friday – It’s Allergy Season”
Furry Friday – It’s a Pawty!
Today we had a birthday party for Bruce Wayne. Really, I have no idea when his birthday might be. We adopted him from the shelter on July 20, but there’s no way to know when he was born. It’s possible that the pet company Chewy knows more than I do, or they recorded my estimateContinue reading “Furry Friday – It’s a Pawty!”
Furry Friday – Blue Steel
It’s the middle of September, and I always get a little sentimental during this time. My mind drifts back five years to September of 2018 when I lived in an apartment in Nashville, Tennessee – alone except for the company of Gidget McFidget. I was listed for a heart transplant at Vanderbilt University Medical Center,Continue reading “Furry Friday – Blue Steel”
Furry Friday – The Case of the Speckled Pup
We’re wrapping up a short but busy week. The neighbor’s tree dropped another limb and took out our power once more. This time, tree trimmers chopped away the remaining dead limbs and we hope to be done with yelling “timber” in our own back yard. Bruce Wayne had another round of injections for his heartwormContinue reading “Furry Friday – The Case of the Speckled Pup”
Furry Friday – Happy Labor Day!
Welcome to Friday! We made it through another week, and it’s a holiday weekend. Happy Labor Day! I hope you have a lovely time with cookouts and picnics and end-of-summer joys. We’re going to the local Peachfest this weekend. “We” includes my husband and I, not the dogs. The past couple of weeks have beenContinue reading “Furry Friday – Happy Labor Day!”
Furry Friday – Royal Carriage Ride
It’s Furry Friday and I’m sick. But I’m not as sick as I was earlier this week. I finally dragged myself to the doctor and got diagnosed with a sinus infection. Antibiotics are getting rid of the pain and vertigo and exhaustion that made me sleep most of the day for three days straight, butContinue reading “Furry Friday – Royal Carriage Ride”
Furry Friday – Chikkie Slop
When I sat down to write the Furry Friday post today, I knew I had to make it quick because today is the day I make Chikkie Slop for my dogs. And Bruce Wayne is already showing me his lack of patience for my delay in creating his favorite thing in the world. What isContinue reading “Furry Friday – Chikkie Slop”
Furry Friday – I nailed the curtains to the wall
Bruce Wayne had his first round of heartworm injections on Monday, and the vet emphasized that he must be kept quiet and not allowed to run around after his injection. As the heartworms die off, their bodies break down and may begin to circulate in his blood stream. If Bruce gets too excited and getsContinue reading “Furry Friday – I nailed the curtains to the wall”
