So, I'm a bad blogger. I've been off gallivanting around while my blog languishes for lack of attention. In all seriousness, we had some major issues there for a while. My 17-year old Lhasa mix, Ruby, went over the Rainbow bridge in March. I spent a loooong Sunday working in the yard, and came in to find one of her rear legs was not working. She's had osteo-arthritis for some time, so we took her to the vet Monday morning. The vet examined her, and said there wasn't really anything they could do, but that we were probably expecting that when we came in. BabyLove nodded sadly, "yes." I grabbed my dog and huddled in the corner crying, "No! I'm here for the magic pill! You've always had the magic pill before!" The vet's eyes got really wide and she backed away slowly. I cried a lot, and sat on the floor and held her while they gave her the shots. I wasn't motivated much after that. I spent a lot of time holding various and long-suffering cats and a large yellow Labrador and crying. Only while BabyLove wasn't looking, of course. Then, we adopted a 3-year-old female yellow Lab in late April. She managed to eat three pairs of flip-flops, one brand new pair of New Balance running shoes and a window screen. She has jumped out the front windows (they were open), the back windows (they were closed), and over our back fence. She has a VERY strong hunting instinct. Walks are a series of jolts from one small fur-bearing animal to the next. Squirrel! Chipmunk! Bird! Duck! Neighbors ratty Chihuahua!
