Crazy that July is over, summer is almost over, and this year seems to be flying by. We’re hanging in there, sweet Miko has been coughing more and more challenges giving him his heart medications this week. Ron and I are constantly having to get creative with new foods we can hide his meds in and fall back on crushing the pills and using a mouth medicine syringe when nothing else seems to work. He has a follow up vet appointment in a couple of weeks with a cardiologist we’re hoping goes well.
I’ve been eating out a lot this week with Ron and family celebrating my birthday, I stepped out to Saladworks with my dad to try a monster vegan salad and having more simple salads at home along with delicious beans and rice.
There has also been more simple garden zucchini dishes, stepping out for Friday night Thai, and a delicious Amy’s Vegan Supreme Pizza which was wonderful with the crust being the perfect balance of thin, crispy, and soft.
We also stepped out to Midtown Sushi last weekend for their creative vegan sushi options which win the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge regularly.
And I met my mom and sister at Himalaya Vegan Organic Restaurant today, I have been meaning to get there since they opened a few months ago. What is great is they have a very simple daily menu of seasonal dishes that are vegan, organic, and gluten free. You can either order a regular or small plate and order a slice of pie if you still have room after.
It was a wonderful blend of healthy plant foods and flavors, very filling while not being too heavy and I can’t wait to go back.
Sunday blues are here and I am facing a tough week ahead moving forward with a job transition as I notify the rest of my team and co-workers which won’t be easy, adulting is often not. But hopefully it will all be worthwhile when the dust settles. And this list is a great way to start your week.
Sorry to hear about your continued issues with medicating Miko. Some things are worth doing, no matter how hard. Remember that Miko needs your diligence and persistence, even if he doesn’t like it. Is there a pharmacy in your area that does compounding for pet meds? If so, they may be able to make Miko’s meds. more palatable and possibly easier to give .
As hard as leaving a job and starting a new job is, through all of the goodbyes and familiarity, you are doing what you feel is best for you. You are brave and strong. You can do this!
It’s nice to hear that you were able to celebrate your birthday with family and good eats.
Best wishes that you have a good and successful week!
Thanks! It has been going better this week as we work on new food options. I have thought about compounding, but his medications are being adjusted frequently at this point and when it works well it’s a good opportunity to make sure he gets more food when taking them.
Thanks on the job! It was the big announcement last week probably more shock and interesting reactions as the news spreads around this week. Thank you for your sweet and encouraging comments!
For real, this year will be gone in a flash… I’m glad Miko is still hanging on, hard as it is. Such a little fighter. Send lots of hugs, belly rubs, and extra love from me. <3
Yes! Already seeing Halloween stuff in stores and it’s too early, ugh!
I look forward to hearing more about your new job! Congrats, again! I’m not sure where the entire summer went, actually! I’m not ready for it to come to an end, that’s for sure!
