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 […]
Summer Vibes for the List
I am still getting used to California being “open” again, it does not feel right to go into a store without a mask after making that a habit for so long. And maybe that’s a good thing for now with the variants out there. We got a little break from the heat last week where […]
Sacramento Vegan Food Festival for the List
Sunday already? Boo. It has been a busy and hot week here with 5 days of triple digit heat so there has been a lot of chilled watermelon served with my simple salads and tofu stir fries. And a delicious vegan pizza with added vegan parm and artichoke hearts Friday night since we decided it […]
Plant Power Fast Food for the List
Another weekend flew by too fast, trying not to let the Sunday blues get to me here. But enjoying the unseasonably cool weather last week and getting out for more runs and walks was great. That will be a challenge this week since we’re back in triple digit heat, ugh. Miko had a play date, […]
Back to It for the List
June already? Whoa. I am trying to get back to a healthier place after a tough year and decided to get back to the gym this weekend because finding drive and motivation for home workouts has been increasingly tough lately. It was an interesting experience working out with a mask on, but nice to get […]
Long Weekend Eats for the List
Happy Memorial Day weekend! It’s been a lazy one here relaxing at home and trying to stay cool and keep Miko cool when it’s supposed to be over 100 degrees tomorrow! It’s been an interesting and busy week, I am still working on coming out of the blah pandemic shell after a sad and tough […]
More Weekend Fun for the List
We are having a lazy Sunday here so far after a fun family gathering and me being a little sore from trying new classes on Apple Fitness. Miko has been a sweetie and pretty stable on his new medication routine, we had to adjust his diuretic last week when his cough started creeping back and […]
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 […]
