First off, thanks to all the well-wishes for Dudley… my little canine companion is nearly recovered. He’s a little “mellow” still, but he has once again noticed the herons on our pier and is giving them a run for their money. I however, after 48 hours or so of dog-nursing, am way behind on […]
I mentioned in my post last night that I took our weimaraner Dudley to the Veterinary Emergency Room for some uncontrollable vomitting. Well, not one hour after our return home, he started doing something that I’m not going to describe in too much detail, lest I cause one of my readers to lose their […]
… Your dog throws up in the room you just finished vacuming (four times)…. … Your toddler gets his head stuck between a chair and the corner of a bookcase… … You toddler watches his very first episode of “Go Diego, Go!” as you ice the goose egg on the side of his head with […]
We are in our third full day of our return to Maryland ~ between the cleaning and unpacking and rearranging, we are slowly getting settled back in. Kenny is getting used to a big green yard, and Dudley has picked up where he left off chasing ducks and geese. Once […]

Per our usual adventurous tendancies, it is begining to look as if this little snow-birding family may be leaving a day early from a different city. That is to say, the forcast for Phoenix on Thursday is 105, and the forcast for Washington, DC is 90. Airlines won’t fly dogs if the tempurature […]
With five nights left before our departure to Maryland, I think it’s safe to say that we’re all getting a little antsy. Today we had to do a “trial run” with some “relaxation pills” we had our vet prescribe for Dudley’s first airplane ride (We needed to know how the medications would affect him, […]
For the past five days, I’ve been battling a tummy ache which turned nasty last night. Despite my vow to not return to the Scottsdale Memorial Hospital until the next time I had a baby, I found myself driving to the ER last night. The pain was bad, but not so horrible that […]
As we wrap up our last eight days or so here in Arizona, we are in a whirlwind of last minute “To Dos:” Packing. Health Certificate for Dudley. Anti-anxiety pills for Dudley. Packing. Scheduling someone to mow our lawn so we don’t return to a jungle. Scheduling delivery of some […]
