We took the dogs out for a drive early Sunday morning, before the traffic picked up, and headed down to Miller’s Landing on Lake Jackson. The lake has been a subject of previous photos, but this time I was able to capture some early morning mist on the water. Lake…

Poetry Moment – Let Sleeping Dogs Lie
Did you know that, on average, dogs can sleep 12 to 14 hours a day? Senior dogs and puppies can get as much as 20 hours of sleep in a day. That’s a lot of downtime. My two older mutts, Peppa and Chili, probably lean to the higher end of…

Poetry Moment – Adopted Family
I snapped this photo recently of all three of my rescue pups laying on the couch together. It happens often enough, but this particular view is rare. For clarity, that’s Peppa in the foreground, Chili in the back, and Bubbie on high alert at the window. Looking at it later,…

Poetry Moment – A Quiet Morning in the Park
I like taking the dogs to the local parks early in the morning. We beat the crowds and tend to have the places to ourselves. I took the photo above at the Lake Jackson Mounds state park, which is close to home and has some wonderful trails to walk. As…

I thought I’d share a quick update on Bubbie’s progress. This past Sunday was 11 days since his first heartworm treatment, which according to the vet, means that all the heartworms in his system should now be dead. Now they will begin to decay and break down, filtering through the…

Bubbie Update
Bubbie completed his initial heartworm treatment on Thursday. He was sore for a couple of days (the injections were in his lower back, one on each side, 24 hours apart). The veterinarian at the animal shelter gave him a mild sedative and anti-nausea medicine to help, but that was only…

Poetry Moment – Watch Dogs
The sofa butts up against our front window and two of our dogs, Chili and Bubbie, like to lay there and watch the world go by. I don’t think they are actually on alert for danger. No, it’s more about watching the birds, squirrels, and occasional neighborhood cat wander around…
