Nox Helps with Rescuing Bubba

January 19, 2022 Last night, when Nox was out for her nightly perambulation, a gentleman at the top of the road called out, “Are you looking for a small dog?” Bruce called back, “No, we have our dog.” Another gentleman called out, “I know who the dog belongs to.” The two gentlemen tried whistling for […]

How Did Nox Get Her Name?

January 12, 2022 Recently a fellow blogger at https://kayak2016blog.wordpress.com/ asked me how Nox got her name. I realized I hadn’t shared the story of how Nox and Luna got their names. While Luna is no longer with us, except in memories, how Nox got her name is directly related to us getting both Nox and […]

Donating Luna’s Clothes

October 14, 2021 Nox is a bigger dog than Luna was. She can’t wear Luna’s clothes and she doesn’t get cold the same way Luna did. Last year, if it was under 80 degrees F, Luna got cold. I would leave Luna’s light weight clothes in a handy locations so I could put them on […]

Goodbye, Luna

August 20, 2020 As I write this, my throat is tight, my nose is running, and my eyes are leaking tears. We took my sweet little Luna to vet one last time today. I will remember the joy and delight she showed as she raced around the yard, when she played with her balls, and […]

Poor Little Luna

August 9, 2020 Friday afternoon, Bruce looked outside and saw Luna hoping a bit. She didn’t want to put much weight on her right back leg. Bruce picked her up and cleaned out from between her pads. She sometimes gets pine needle stuck in her paws. When I finished work, I noticed she was still […]

Luna and Nox Napping

Iris and Poppy Blooming

May 15, 2020 Yesterday, as I took the dogs around the front yard, I discovered my mid-size purple and white Irises had started blooming, as well as my poppies.

Spring Trim for Nox

May 11, 2020 This weekend was time for Nox’s spring trim. We trim her in the spring, and it seems to take all summer for her wire hair to grow out for the winter. Here are some before and after pictures. Quick update on Luna, she is eating and being more active. The medicine that […]

Luna Is a Little Better

April 27, 2020 The new medication the vet prescribed has helped my little Luna. Her appetite has picked up and she is eating a little more. She hasn’t had diarrhea since we started giving her the medication. She has been taking advantage of my lap since I have been working from home. She lies on […]

Luna Not Feeling Well

April 20, 2020 To paraphrase one of my favorite quotes from my daughter when she was four: Luna is having lots more troubles, she can’t help it, she’s just a sick little dog. Last week, the vet gave us the news that Luna’s numbers were worse. They weren’t as bad as they were after the […]
