The older I get, the less I enjoy the 4th of July. This year was especially tough trying to protect Miko from firework anxiety with his heart condition and worrying about fires with it being so dry and in a bad drought already this year. Miko hates fireworks, hates them. So we usually end up […]
Getting Back Out for the List
Whew, it’s been a good weekend – with temps in the 70s, we had to enjoy the weather while we could before the heat starts. Miko went for a long walk and play date Saturday with my mom’s dog and enjoyed a long nap after. Eats have been pretty simple this week with salads and […]
Just Here for the List
That is an interesting title, sorry, I am lacking on inspiration today. But Happy Mother’s Day to the mothers out there. Miko is doing okay, we have been focusing on keeping him on track with his medications and a good diet, I have incorporated recommended supplements for canine cardiac health this week feeling it’s worth […]
Here and Being Positive for the List
We are here and Miko is hanging in there after his awful weekend. His kidney check was good last week on his new medications, so hopefully we can keep him stable for awhile while I continue to research further options to help him. He is adjusting to our new dining table, but it is a […]
Working Through Tough Times for the List
Hello and I am still here after a 2 week hiatus, but I have a good reason for it – last weekend was a tough and long weekend that started Friday night when I woke up to Miko coughing, restless, and alarmed. Last August, we got a devastating diagnosis at a new vet of an […]
I’m Back for the List
Happy Easter! It has been a crazy last two weeks or so, just crazy. I worked very long hours both days last weekend getting equipment ready for a new contract and didn’t have energy to do much else. We got everything done in time, but it was a scramble that burned me out a bit, […]
Springing into Spring for the List
Sorry for that title, not feeling very creative currently. But am feeling spring with beautiful sunshine and warming temps after a lot of rain this week. Whew, it was a busy week. Our company hosted a vaccine clinic that I volunteered for and was crazy busy the first day with a rush of people, and […]
Feeling Optimistic for the List
Hello and I hope you had a good week. It’s been an interesting week in the news and I am feeling optimistic about the near future of this pandemic, but trying not to be too optimistic. It’s been another quiet weekend at home, we stayed in all day yesterday tackling house projects, trying new classes […]
Feeling Spring for the List
How are you? It’s been a lazy and productive weekend here, Miko has been loving his toasty office bed in front of a heater on lazy weekend mornings. And I have been taking in spring views in our backyard as trees are starting to bloom rapidly and I am looking forward to spring gardening. It’s […]
Back to thee Grind for the List
It is tough to get back to the grind after such a fun week in Southern California! The heavy workload and ongoing projects were still waiting at work and I miss being able to walk to the beach and just hang out. I found it was tough to disconnect from work during the time off […]
