When Grass Seeds Attack

July 16, 2021 On Wednesday, Nox was shaking her head a bit and scratching at her ear. By Thursday, she was shaking her head and scratching at her ear almost constantly. When she wasn’t shaking her head or scratching at her ear, she was walking with her head at a funny angle. Bruce held Nox […]

Update on Nox’s Foot

July 13, 2021 Bruce took Nox to the vet this afternoon. When the vet was examining the red spot on Nox’s food, the vet was pleased to see that it had deflated. She was even more pleased when a sharp grass seed came out of the red spot. The grass seed was what had caused […]

A Puzzle Cone Instead of Cone of Shame

July 12, 2021 Bruce wrote a post on FaceBook about Nox that I am sharing. “Nox has developed a cyst on her right front foot. Not terrible, and not unusual, but of course her standard dog response to it was to lick it until she’d removed all the hair from the area. So we put […]

Watching Fireworks From Top of RV

July 6, 2021 We had planned to spend part of the 4th of July at Jeanne’s (from a Jeanne in the Kitchen), but Bruce started to feel sick on Friday afternoon. We didn’t want to expose anyone to whatever Bruce caught. I had really been looking forward to going to Jeanne’s party – https://ajeanneinthekitchen.com/2021/07/05/a-feast-for-the-4th/ With […]

Nox Has a Cyst on Her Foot

July 6, 2021 Nox was dropped off at the vet this morning to find out what was wrong with her foot. The “hot spot” on her right foot is a cyst. When she walks, it is irritated and swells up. Keeping her from walking was the right thing to do. We just didn’t do it […]

Nox on a Short Walk with Bruce

July 5, 2021 Bruce wanted to take a short walk with Nox.

Nox’s New Backpack

July 4, 2021 I ordered a backpack to carry Nox in after the long walk that hurt her footpads. Her footpads have recovered, but we have learned our lesson. We will now take the dog backpack with us and when she seems to get tired, into the backpack, she will go. We took Nox on […]

Nox With a Cone of Shame

June 28, 2021 Last week, we noticed that Nox had licked her right front foot so much that she had a “hot spot.” That is, she had licked a spot on her foot raw; she has a red and slightly swollen spot on her foot. To keep Nox from licking the hot spot, we first […]

Afternoon Walk in Park Near RV

June 20, 2021 Yesterday, Bruce, Nox and I went for a walk. We headed into the neighborhood north of the RV park. As we walked to the neighborhood, we passed a prairie dog colony. The prairie dogs barked as we walked by. Nox was very interested in the prairie dogs, but we convinced her that […]
