The floor looks all wrong. I thought you should know that, being that you’re now in a position to run the Universe like you always wanted (I presume that flash storm we had yesterday afternoon was the coup you staged shortly after your arrival upstairs). I hope you find the minions there to your satisfaction. […]
I am happy to report that Daisy galloped up the hill in the back yard this morning! She doesn’t so much gallop since the stroke…more a happy fast trot with a swing in her hips that totally goes to the rhythm of Milkshake by Kelis. And not that lately. So somebody is feeling BETTER. I […]

It’s hard to think about goals while I’m sitting here with my stomach in knots, waiting to hear the results of Daisy’s MRI.

The stroke is the better option. No surgery, usually full recovery. The herniated disc is surgery and a much […]
