My animals seem destined to one-up each other dentally. I do not recommend. Poor Conrad had to have a MOLAR extracted.

No, I’m serious! How do I lose track of time so easily? Is it aging? Why do I feel so pressured to do everything immediately? Someone please tell me the secret of taking back my time for myself. Anyway. Eli has been doing relatively well. He developed a difficulty with chewing that required some more ..read more

Earlier this month, I kept thinking I needed to post and Eli update. Things had been going fairly well! He got his regular stifle injections, and he even had a routine dental appointment just last week.

Let me just say … I HATE SCORPIONS. I would slice them all up into 8ths and set them on fire and douse them in sulfuric acid and hope their chitinous asses suffer for all eternity if I could. If they would even suffer. Poor Conrad. He got stung. Early Sunday morning as I was ..read more
