I’m back. Sorry for yesterday, folks. I usually keep my computer away from the cats because they think the mouse pointer is fun to bat at. Might be fun for them, but it’s really annoying when I’m trying to work. Someone left the office door open, however, and I see Panther took advantage of the situation. Anyway, my surgery went well (in case you were wondering). I had a torn meniscus in both knees – took care of the left one yesterday and the right one next month.

Subbing for the Dog Lady: Panther the Cat

Update on Maggie
Thanks so much for all of your prayers for Maggie. She’s home now, on antibiotics and anti-seizure meds. So far, so good. The tests never did show anything terribly out of whack, but we go back next Thursday (the 21st) for a check-up. For now, she just seems a little mopey, but then she is 10 years old, so I guess it’s okay if she’s slowing down a little.
Little Lamb: Another Ice Cream Stand Friend
Isn’t he cute? He’s a poodle / terrier mix. Just 10 weeks old, he lives with an Hispanic family, and she gave me the dog’s name in Spanish, which I won’t attempt to spell, but it translates as “Little Lamb”. The perfect name for this little sweetie!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Lions and tigers and…dogs???
Check out these lion clubs playing at the Colorado Wildlife Sanctuary with some of the 13 dogs who live there. This sounds kind of familiar to me, but I’m not sure if I posted it before. (And yes, I am too lazy to look for it!) Sorry if it’s a duplicate – but worth watching a second time, if it is. The clip is from the Today Show.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
