I have been rolling along for the last several years: doing what I do and being who I am. Things were pretty good and I was content. Last year however I made a couple of subtle changes, mostly in my thinking and as a result of these things have for the most part really been a lot better.I turned

So Chico and I are out early to travel to see the surgeon who operated on him two weeks ago. I am anxious and eager. Of all the people involved in this process she is the one person who is thorough, listens carefully and is both honest and kind. It has been a long and difficult ordeal even before

It is early and I am soon going to spend about two hours in a dentists chair. The long and short of it is that I broke a tooth a couple weeks ago and the best option all things considered was a cap. So I got a temporary filling, and today the serious drilling happens and hopefully I will leave wi

It has taken a week but I think Chico and I have settled into our post surgery routine. Chico had a cancerous growth in his mouth that needed out and with it came part of his jaw. He is wearing a cone and I have medications he needs to have every day. They are administered by a syringe three time

Each of us deals with life in our own ways. With the New Year only days away many are looking forward to a new slate, new opportunities and finally new days to meet and greet. It is a good time of year to take stock, plan ahead and rid ourselves of old hardships. That said I would content that ev

Chico is my youngest pup at five years old. He is a strong, loving and good boy. He had a growth in his mouth, and long story short he had surgery last Saturday to remove it along with a good piece of his jaw. It was, and still remains scary. I brought him home on Sunday and we have spent the wee
