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 […]

Keeping Me Company

March 26, 2020 The dogs are really getting used to me being home all the time. As I sit at my makeshift desk, with a blanket covering my legs, Luna curls up in a little ball on my lap. Nox sleeps at my feet, snoring loud enough that Bruce hears her through his headphones! Nox […]

Nox and Luna “Helping Me” Work

March 18, 2020 I am one of the lucky people who can work from home. My office told us to get set up to work from home if we could possibly do so. I was set up on Monday, and I’ve been working from home this week. My dogs really like me being home. Here […]

Update on Luna

March 16, 2020 While Luna is more playful and acting more like her old self, she isn’t gaining any more weight. Her kidney numbers are still not good. Her test at the beginning of March showed only a 2 point drop. The normal values are around 32 to 36, and her’s are 62. They had […]
