I’ve been missing…again! Where to start?
We found out that our dog, Hemi, had oral malignant melanoma. We took him in to get his teeth cleaned, and the vet found a mass in the back of his throat. Fortunately, the vet school here at Texas A&M thinks they removed the whole mass during surgery; however, oral melanoma is [...]

Where have I been? Well, where to start? ‘Little girl’ got sick so we had to keep her isolated from the three boys, which wasn’t easy. The vet thought it was probably a bronchial infection, but because she came out of a Houston shelter it could possibly have been kennel cough or distemper. Hemi, the big [...]

I’ve been out of pocket since the weekend. Here’s the reason:
We’re calling her ‘little girl’ because she’s not going to stay with us long. She’s already been adopted by a family in Louisiana and is staying with us just long enough to get her vaccinations and get ’fixed’. We expect she’ll be with us about a month. She’s [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Where should I start? Last Saturday we drove to Post, Texas, which is just outside Lubbock, and almost a seven hour drive from home. We delivered Coco to her new family, who drove about the same distance from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Here are the last photos I took [...]

It’s Monday again. I got to work this morning and my mouse wouldn’t work. I banged it around quite a bit, and it still didn’t see things my way. Come to find out, it just needed a new battery, but there were no batteries in the supply cabinet. I made the rounds of my co-workers [...]

If you remember, I picked up Coco in Oklahoma and brought her home with us to foster. Coco’s original owner’s gave her up because she chewed. Coco is a seven-month old puppy. And Coco is a handful!
Fortunately, Coco has fit right in with the boys. They certainly show a lot of patience with her. When she’s [...]

This is Coco. It isn’t a very good picture because this was taken while she was in a shelter in Yukon, Oklahoma. Coco loves people, dogs, and cats. She’s a beautiful black and tan with absolutely gorgeous eyes. Coco is seven months old and was given up by her owner because she chewed. Can you imagine! Isn’t that what puppies do? [...]

Here’s the boys earlier this month. Don’t they look excited? They just don’t know they’re on their way to the vet. They didn’t look quite so thrilled when they came home. And they don’t know that today we got a reminder card from the vet that two of them need to go back for follow-ups. When we’re [...]

I mentioned in an earlier post that a friend asked me if I could do some wedding designs for her. Karen, will this work for you? I did the two photos to see how it looks with both black and gold rings. I can’t decide which one I like best. If neither one of these colors will work for [...]

I started this little bird a few weeks ago when the weather started warming up and made me think of spring. I finished it this evening. I have quite a few designs in various stages and I’ve decided that I need to finish some of them. A friend asked me to do a few wedding designs [...]

We had such a nice day today for a change. The sun was shining, no dark clouds in the sky, a nice breeze, and no chance of rain. It looks like it’s going to be nice through Saturday, but we’re scheduled for thunderstorms again on Sunday. Who wants rain on Easter! So I digitized this happy sun, and [...]

This is Bruiser who was picked up as a stray in Austin, Texas. He’s had a pretty rough life so far. Bruiser had a number of parasites that he’s been treated for already, and he’s been neutered. Bruiser also has heartworms.
What are heartworms? Well, dogs are considered the perfect host for heartworms; but, heartworms can infect coyotes, foxes, wolves, domestic [...]

Saturday’s paper said we were very likely to get a tornado some time during the day. I rushed out and did all my errands so I could be home when the storm hit. It started raining just as I finished up with all my running. By the time I got home it had turned into a [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day! I was surprised at my office yesterday with a dozen red roses, and today I got this box of chocolate covered strawberries. I love chocolate covered strawberries! As you can see, I tried the strawberries out as soon as I got them. Delicious! The cards say they are from ‘the boys’. Well, ‘the boys’ [...]

I still haven’t found a project to work on so I decided to clean up my sewing room. Well, I didn’t get very far along before all three of my dogs decided to join me. Three bloodhounds take up most of the floor space so it’s not easy to walk around. It’s just the dogs [...]
