Part two…
One full week has passed since the surgery and the last post was the following Tuesday – here is what happened next. Since re-bandaging on the previous Saturday, Sasuke refused to let me anywhere near him. He also refused to poop and pee on mats so short walks outside were a must. I swear until…

The Week After the Friday Before
This is going to be a long one. A two part..er. Friday: Sas went in for his operation to completely remove the tumor on his paw. Getting him there meant a pre-emptive move on my part and the vet. So, an hour before the operation, I moved the travel crate and some covers downstairs by…

Aaaaaaand…we’re back
The tumor is benign. Deep sigh of relief. However. Of course there is a however, how can there not be a however…?! We have to go back to the vet to have the tumor removed. This Friday. oh boy. Surgery. This is probably where I should have a lessons learned section from the previous visit…

Big shout out to all veterinary practitioners! You Are Awesome!! Thank you! This is a long post. Brace yourself. On Saturday just past we went to the vet. We arrived on time, 11:30, and got as settled as we could given Sasukes anxiety at being there. As he was looking around and conveniently distracted the…

Time after Time
Hello! I missed last weeks posting because I forgot Tuesday – it literally passed me by and when I realized, it was Saturday. Also our days now are so so so boring I cannot tell you how ecstatic I am about boring. Wax lyrical and compose sagas and odes to boring ecstatic. And so here…

FASHION!
Turn to the left………Turn to the right. Another mercifully quiet week, another post to address a weird ass trend of dressing up your dog. Aaaaaand here is my stance. No. NO. NOPE! I mean .. why would you? Your dog has a perfectly beautiful coat which has the added function of keeping your dog both…

Kawaaaaaii!
I hear that….. a lot! And you know what? I wish I didn’t. I mean – I know my dog is cute and adorkable and all the wonderful things you are thinking of: funny, smart, energetic, playful. I also know that going for walks outside, especially during the day, for him are particularly stressful and…

Calm…ish
After the awful drama of the past few weeks life has settled back down again. Mostly because we have avoided the river. Entirely. Sasuke, for his part, has been super affectionate and doting. Always asking for hugs and kisses, I guess just general reassurance in light of what happened and I have been very happy…
