Snow Day? Well, that’s what we call it here.

Filed Under: Uncategorized

We got snow last night. No, really. There’s snow there, you just have to look very closely. It was so unimpressive to the boys that they went from, “Wake me up at 7am!” to “Can I sleep just a little longer?”. Yeah, it was THAT good. I was the only one who got out in it and took these pictures…

What a week it’s been thus far.  Yesterday was supposed to be a great fun day of visiting friends and instead turned out to be something much, much different.  We drove an hour and a half to Raleigh to visit my friend Marin and her son, Ian.  The boys were excited, I was excited, and we were ready to have…

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
