  1. Ivy, that was a big bunch ob houndies all staying together--homies and sat-upons. It sounds like a great reunion wif your humans when they came to pick you and Cherry up! Flashy has gotten ober her fever! Those photos ob the swollen up schnoz don knot look comfy. How frustrating to knot know that cause ob such distress. Flashy, eberyfing is better at home. I'm glad you can go home today. I hope that the mystery swelling will go away. I'm gonna go right on backandforthing for you to feel all ALL better soon. Charlie, police horses and a houndie. You all know how to put on at St. Patric's Day parade! PattyKake is getting stronger and fitter and her saddle is gonna change wif her! Zavvi is taking some time to settle in and sort out fings wif you, Nutmeg. I fink it is great that you 2 can share a settee! Jupiter got a peanut better jar to lick. How nice! Miss Nancy and Mister Doug had a particularly nice celebration ob the 40h anniversary at dog-friendly breweries! Two! And they scored bof kindness and a bottle ob maple whiskey. Ma was so excited to see Ellerella and her filly! That horse is so gorgeous and Ma was always interested to see photos ob her and hear about her racing and now about her motherhood. OheMGee, Lacifer is a real hard core hand full. Good things BossLady is a pro at handling her. Ma and Auntie Ann went to their exercise class, which was taught this morning by the new young trainer, wif the regular trainer helping as needed. The new guy is gonna start his own classes in the afternoon and is practicing on the morning classes this week. He did good butt Ma is much more likely to exercise if she gets it done in the morning, so they will stick wif their current schedule, thank you very much. Now Ma is finishing the newpaper and gonna eat lunch, then head out to the garden to plant seeds for kale, lettuce, and English peas. She's kinda excited. Last year's garden was mostly a heart breaker but, as usual, she has high hopes for success each year. Nate
  2. Miz Ducky, I'm so glad there were kind people and even someone you knew at the E-vet to help distract you and to remind us all that people an be really wonderful. I hope this sudden mystery sickness for Flashy turns out to be treatable and that she'll soon be herownself and back home. Nate
  3. Miss Patsy has secured lodging for the Maui trip! Bakcandforth and backandforth.
  4. Miss Noo Carol, March is full ob sad anniversaries and loss for you. I'm so sorry. and Miss Kathy and Mister Jim are home and Ivy and Cherry come home later today! ACK! Flashy, what's going on? Miz Ducky I'm backandforthing for Flashy and for you too. Nate, worried and pacing....
  5. Auntie Ann is an artist--she could so handle the DIY brindle!
  6. Flashy, you were real brave to chase that monster away in the night. I'm glad that you got only a small wound upon your ear. Hope it heals up soonest. We got a butter yellow kitchen and baffroom that Ma and Auntie Ann like. Mam, you should prolly select the colors that you like since you are the one finding the painter and doing the paint shopping. To be honest, MIss Chris, Ma thinks I'm doing somewhat better wif thunderations. Yesterday, for instance, we had a good bit ob rumbling and some loud claps ob thunder. Ma went looking for me and I was knot in the baffroom curled inconveniently around the potty, nor in my LR beds. She was getting worried about me butt found me sleeping in my bed in her bedroom--calm and peaceful rather than trembling. This was a weird time ob year for thunder butt there it was and she was quite proud ob me! Miss Nancy, I"m sorry Mister Doug is being such a wet blanket about your great plans for celebrating. It's prolly some ob his hesitation and unwillingness to get out ob bed that's fueling his soggy blanketness. Forty is a HUGE celebration and I hope he'll be more onboard another day. Good news that the pred and other meds are helping you feel better. We've had really warm weather here too, Bitzi, butt are gonna get at least another chilly night coming up. Miss Cynthia, you know you gots lots ob friends in your corner, hounds and humans. Know we lub you and use us as support howeber and wheneber you need. Nate
  7. It is later and I am finally back. I was knot allowed to get back here yesterday. There was shopping in a monsoon and then exhausting exercise sessions used as the excuse. Wiki and Mistress WON and the reason is clear...clever dramatical costuming and 2 beauties wearing those fancy glasses. Miss Nancy ob the Burg, I'm glad that you are at least a bit ore comfortable. I hope you'll get better and better each day. 40 years ob marriage! That is worth celebrating, butt perhaps at home or on a different day. Lookit PattyKake being naughty curious! Cherry gave Miss Kathy a gift wif which to remember her on the travels. Miss Kathy, I hope you'll be OK on the the long hard drive and can get some rest tonight. Wiki, that Loid kitteh is hampsome--his eyeballs are beautiful according to Ma. He uses a fence to help him roach. What, Ma? You say I can't eben roach at all? KNOT TROO!! I could if I wanted to! Wait, Mistress got ofee the lions?! Charlie, I'm sorry MamaBear was so careless ob your amour propre. One expects better ob ones humans and one is so often disappointed. And...Miss Cynthia is an equal opportunity offender, insulting poor Zorro too. Butt, Miss Cynthia habs some woes and troubles wif lub so we send her all owr lub and understanding. Lacifer has found her song! Poor Mister Patsy has faced something particularly difficult for him. I hope he'll soon be feeling more hisownself. Miss Elizabeth, that fellow who does dog impressions is SO FUNNY! Miss RE Carol, fear knot! Once a Chihuahua lubs you, you are OK. Ma had a frined wif an elderly Cihuahua who lubed Ma. Ma was tasked wif getting BabyDog out from under a chair--she was younger in those days. Anyhow, BabyDog did bite her--BabyDog only had one toof in her mouf butt the pinched Ma's finger between that toof and the lower gum, smart littel girl. After the bite BabyDog was very clearly apologetic for habing bitten her friend. Tiller, my friend, that all sounds perfectly horrible and upsetting and infuriating. Still, after reading Miss Sherrie's explanation, it sounds like the humans were doing the best they could to help one poor traumatized houndie. I SO understand being afraid ob loud storms. Imagine facing that terror after a long long flight, strange people, strange cars. You were real good to help him. Thank goodness for that good, caring vet who is looking after that poor 13.5 year old houndie. At this point, all the complaints I hab to complain about seem small and so I'm just gonna be grateful for my Ma and my life here in my house and yard wif people who lub me and take care ob me. Nate
  8. I mixed up the dogs! How mortfuing! Ladies, you have my profound apologies.
  9. Miss Halise, that is cautiously good results from the Lantis. What a kind innerweb friend you hab! We'll hope she uses those nifty pens. Ducky, I'm so so sorry things are so very difficult for you and poor Rita. Thank goodness for the help from your groomer friend. Rita, let your humans help you, OK? Just a little bit longer! Whoops...it's grocery shopping morning before trainer werk out afternoon. I'll be back later. Nate
  10. My neighbors keep asking where Spirit is so I NEED a brindle Greyhound. Nate's night time routine involves potty trips heralded by playbows and barking. I can't Mom-voice him back to bed or ignore him because we'll wake my sleeping sister across the hall. If, for some truly bizarre reason, you'd like AnnIE to learn to add demanding nighttime barking to her repertoire, she can come here for a respite visit, learn a new tactic, and then return home, since we all know you'd end up missing her "wif your whole entire heart".
  11. Oooh, the neurologist is super expensive to visit. Ma remembers taking Piper to the neurologist in North Carolina twice around the final diagnosis of GME and she remembers the $$$. Commiserations offered. Good luck Zeke! AP, I'm knot keen on cleaning day either. Today was especially disappointing 'cuz Ma was cleaning the Monstrosity (that's what her Daddy called this great Victorian coat/hat rack wif a mirror). My leashes and collars and poop bags are in that and I thought I was getting s Wiki Walkie. Nope. I am bitter in my disappointment. Good tax news for Miss Jen's madre! ETA: We received a photo ob Zavvi to share! Nate
  12. Apparently there is strikt protocol (like the soop nazi) and she don’t know what that is. Strawberries!! Maybe that's worth the potential trauma. There's a "famous" eatery here called The Beacon--burgers, fries, hotdogs, etc. Ma went there once wif cowerkers when she first moved here. The Beacon is famous for the rude man behind the counter who yells at you to "get to the back of the line" if you did knot hab you order ready to spout out immediately. Ma was KNOT impressed by being yelled at nor by observing a German cockroach at their booth. She sometimes drives by The Beacon butt has neber gone there to eat again. Miss Patsy, enjoy your Ivan Doig book! I'm glad Mister Patsy only needed 2 rounds ob cutting to get good margins. I suppose he know wif his nose what it's like to hab hound toes wif no good skin to stitch wif snitches. Sounds like he can expect a nice healing in the end! Lacifer is a member of the Order ob the Golden Head! Angus, I hope your foot heals right up now that the vet cleaned it. Wouldn't it be nice knot to hab to go back there for a whole year! The filly wif the beautiful mom and the famous dad has been born and she has a heart on her head in white. NUtmeg and Zavvi, it sounds like you 2 are settling into the new normal pretty well. Zavvi now belongs to the Order ob the Golden Coat and, possibly, the Order ob the Golden Paw. Hum, lots ob new Order memberships being established. Ma, are you in the mood for Order ob the GOlden Carpet? No? Well...OK. Backandforthing and fretting for Miss Nancy. I'm glad she's home and hope she's feeling much better. What a horrible, miserable experience. It was a fine idea to drive further to that satellite ER for a much better experience. I understand that you don't feel safe from all that pain yet butt I hope that you can rest and that those muscles will settle down soon. Miss Noo Carol, did you survive the wicked weather? Miss Kathy, I hope all ob you will enjoy a nice, peaceful, quiet, undemanding day today. Gino, you treated Roman like one ob those suspension bridges! And lived to tell the tale. Wiki, Mistress had a real shopping experience. Full ob schedules that mean nuffin', people in single minded pursuit ob a goal, conflict, danger--The Works! I hope she enjoys that pie and that she gets lots ob those great home grown local strawberries! Today is cleaning day. Fun will be had by all none. Nate
  13. Miz Ducky, you're still getting a whole lot ob stuff done in the face ob a boatload ob stressors. You're a champ! Annuals and perennials are wonderful gardening goals! Ivy, it sounds to me like there is a rogue chupacabra roaming your neighborhood, attacking houndies. What a relief that you hab your Mom to bandich you and take care ob your leg. Anticoagulants--oh, yeah. Grammy had an absolutely epic nosebleed whilst on warfarin. Her cream and pastel oriental rug was neber eber the same again. Miss Nancy, I'm so SO sorry that your back is so miserable. Is there a chance ob calling your PCP to ask for an appointment, perhaps a tele-medicine appointment since they can be quicker to obtain? Miss Chris can be proud ob getting the taxes done--neber anyone's favorite task and unusually complicated for her this year. Oh gosh, Miss Elizabeth. Ma wonders why changing the water filter is so hard, butt somehow it generally is. She does it, butt dreads it. I hope those handy ladies will be able to help you find a solution. Is there a chance that Mister Richard would like to hab that as a project? Miss Halise, that looks like a nice, easy, workable set up for insulin. I sure hope it werks well to help wif your dying beetles. Poor Mister Patsy. That sounds tedious and uncomfortable. I'll join you in the backandforthing for him. The Old Girls reaceived an email saying that their class at the gym was cancelled this morning. They decided to stick to their plan, so they went to the gym and put in a good werkout on their own. They checked and the instructor is just feeling puny butt is knot hurt or nuffin'. They'd been worried about her. Nate The weirdest thing has started happening. Ann's Siamese, Seiko, has suddenly started spending most evenings in my lap rather than in Ann's. I think I started it by giving him and Tinker a treat while in my comfy chair. One time is enough to start a "routine" with cats too. However, while he's friendly and pleasant with me and will sit with me if Ann is not home, he has never persistently chosen my lap for evening snoozes. Not a problem, but unexpected and odd.
  14. Beautiful girl, I'm so glad you're recovering so well.
  15. My paws and Ma's fingers are crossed that the insulin werks well for Miss Halise. Miss Elizabeth, tell Mister Richard that if he keeps up the his eyeballs will get stuck that way. Nutmeg, I sure hope that you end up liking to pal around wif Zavvi. MIss Chris, Ma is planning to plant seeds for kale, peas, and lettuce this week. Howeber, she's still getting the raised beds ready. Today she moved 30 waterlogged bags ob Black Cow compost off a pallet and into the raised beds and then she opened all the bags and dumped the compost. She's had it for today. Maybe tomorrow she'll mix all that in and level it and be ready to plant seeds! Miss Chris, I hope you will be able to find both cleaners and home pedicure help. Ma has always thought that cutting someone else's toe nails would be particularly difficult. We're sorry that the horsepiddle people are knot gonna do as much for Mister Dennis as hoped. Wiki, the kittehs and I share tuna juices from canned tuna, so there is an unseemly rush to the kitchen wheneber the can opener operates. Then we're left milling about in owr disappointment if the can opened was knot tuna. I had some good yard time whilst Ma was werking and so now I'm ready for a nap. Nate
  16. Zorro del Galgo and Charlie Bear said goodbye to their favorite house guest, Dash. I hope he comes back soo to stay wif you. I'm sorry that getting-big poopie injured your toe. A new houndmobile?! How exciting! Will you and Zorro let MamaBear choose the color? Charile, I hope your tummy gets to feeling better. Ivy, I'm so sorry your Daddy had a difficult, confusilated day. FancyToo, that house will be lubly and homey wif some TLC and your humans are great to providing TLC to animals and to their home. It's gonna be a great place to retire! Ma is gonna exercise and then go out to put alla the bags ob compost on the garden. Then, if the lawn mower starts, she'll mow the weeds in the back yard. Nate
  17. Go, Willa! You've got this! Pun intended.
  18. Nutmeg and Miss RE Carol will now be welcoming new fambily member riteawayqwick after all! I hope he'll adjust to the home and crate and new fambily. Miss Robin, what a great place you have found. Wiki, I'm sorry Mistress is habing trouble wif werk fings werking. Miss Nancy ob the Burg, I'm so sorry your back is so painful. Nate
  19. Piggy, Ana has a kitteh? You'll hab fun when you stay there sniffing the kitteh's rear end. There are 2 ob them in my house and I sniff 'em all the time. It's amazing what you can learn. Ma says they don't enjoy the sniffing as much as I do butt I don't believe her. Miss Elizabeth, I'm real sorry your brother is being a stinker. I hope the rat ejectors are successful. Nutmeg, I fink it is kind to let your new liddle brother's mouf heal so that so that he is comfy when he moves into his new home. That is itself is a lot to deal wif and imagine doing it when also in discomfort. It's nice that you and Miss RE Carol can still spend time wif him to establish good relationship ahead ob time. FancyToo, what an exciting and exhausting time your folks had on their adventure. A horse farm on Kentucky for retirement sounds like a dream come true! My paws and Ma's fingers will remain crossed for all the business, finance, and rental details to werk out just right. Angus, I'm sorry you are habing to deal wif vet visits for booboo foot. That veterinarian fight club you and your bro Zeke belong to sounds interesting butt maybe more trouble than it's worth? It's wonderful that BossLady and her Dad are still making happy, loving memories to treasure. I don't eben konw what to say about that Lacifer. Ma & Auntie Ann are back from the gym and are tired. They werked hard, just like good girls. Nate
  20. I looked at a number of those items when I got now 6 y/o Nate, also with PRA. I adopted Nate when he was 1.5 years old and his sight was pretty much gone at that point. So many of the options looked clunky and I couldn't imagine them working well or being tolerated well by the dog. Nate has a great sense of location in familiar locals--home and yard. When we travel, I lead him around the hotel room and he's OK after that. Always in unfamiliar locations he's on a leash, of course. Any time he's leashed, Nate just plows ahead with enthusiasm and he clearly views it as the responsibility of the human on the end of leash to make sure he doesn't run into anyone or anything or step off curbs, steps, etc. Every now and then at home he'll become disoriented. When that happens, I'll see him carefully, hesitantly moving around, kind of groping. At those times, I go to him and lead him to one of the super familiar "gounding" areas like one of his beds, the door into the yard, his crate. That seems to resolve the problem and he's oriented again to the map he has in his head. When something new is added in the yard, I walk him to the item and he seems to add it to his mental map--he really amazes me. I'd really worried that he might run into things and damage his eyes but honestly that's never happened. He did once bonk his nose on a corner and get a small cut on his muzzle, but he's never actually hurt himself.
  21. Miss Kathy, I'm so sorry that your beloved Aunt is gone. Angie, Ma commiserates wif your poor Dad and so many fire ant bites. They are just horrid. She got nuffin' planted yet. She just got the 2 raised beds weeded. Then she'll put down some fertilizer and some bags ob compost. Then she gets to plant seeds. If she had more energy, sh could hab done it all today, butt she is knot a ball ob fire. At. All. Snow! How exciting. We did knot get any snow this year at all and no ice storms either. Miss Patsy, I'm glad you are back on the non-generic thyroid medication. Ma does knot even take that medicament and yet she's heard that the generic does knot werk as well and the real Synthroid. She had a coworker who had to endlessly fight wif her pharmacy to knot get the generic and it used to make her to hab to fight ebery single time. Nate
  22. Cleaning is like that...some cleaning just leads to more cleaning and then you turn around and a place you just cleaned is dirty again. Ma got the 2 raised garden beds weeded and cleaned up for planting. She's gonna get peas, lettuce, and kale seeds planted this week. Whilst weeding she found a bed ob fire ants in the corner ob one bed. They were all amongst the sage so she just gave up and pulled it up. Then she disturbed the nest, which generally makes those ants move. Ob course, she got bitten a few times. It's knot warm enough yet to put out the bait that helps control them. Sorry Miss Jennie and Miss Kerry butt fire ants make it really hard to live and let live. It's a nice sunny day today, though we had more rain yesterday. That made weeding easy. Nate
  23. Angie, I'm glad that your Mom got the GIG hotel sorted out. You all like it there and it meets your needs. You can go to GIG wifout potty worries, which is a blessing indeed. Wow, your Dad had a busy day wif bof groceries and Home Depot. A lot ob walking. Wiki, what a fun outing. Lookit you sphinxing in the bar! Ma calls that "assuming the position", since it is sort ob my default when I'm being a good boy. You got good pets and made a new friend! Gino! Happy Gotcha Day! We, um, difficult hounds gotta find the right place for owrselves. When we do we stick there like glue. Jupiter, I hope your tummy stays good so you can get alla your foods and treats back. Miss Noo Carol, what lubly remembories ob your Daddy. Plus also, what a big collection ob first responders you got from one phone call. Miss Caroline, Ma is so OCD she can't stand to hab clocks "off" and telling different times so she always wrastles the clock on the car to the correct time. Auntie Ann is ob your opinion--it is knot worth the trouble. Miss Jennie Miss Kathy too habs lubly remembories of her Daddy. Ma and Auntie Ann were talking about their Daddy last night, remembering what a good story teller he was. They had their favorite stories and heard them again and again. He was one ob those people born wif a twinkle in his eye. Poor Rita and poor Miz Ducky I hope you bof get through this treatment and that it werks well for her. Adjustable saddles are such a good idea! Miss Banessa gots squabbles at the bird feeders. Nate
