many things have been neglected around here since i’ve been working full time. this blog is one. our house is another. also all the oodles of projects i’ve wanted to accomplish (sewing, gardening, read more books, building a raised bed, etc.). mr. halloran was gone to a bike race this weekend in walla walla this [...]
today is miss soph’s birthday. she is 8 years old. 8! that seems so old. i feel like yesterday she was just my tiny little pug puppy.
getting into mischief, like trash the trash and all the spare food she could find.
melting everyone’s heart.
she’s been a mentor to all of our new little furry friends.
one of [...]
today mr. halloran and i went on a little drive to one of our favorite little palouse spots. the tiny town of rockford, wa. not only do we get to delight in one of our favorite places (the palouse south of spokane), but we get to visit one of our favorite little country [...]
just killing time here with miss soph, waiting for mr. halloran to get done with riding on the trainer so we can go get fro-yo.
here’s something more entertaining for you that i’ll leave you with until i can think of something more interesting to say.
and another.
pugs crack me up. i’m not ashamed.
winter, you’re raining on my parade a little. you give me just a little dose of glorious sunshine and then it’s gone again. i really despise you these days. go away so my plants won’t have to look like this anymore.
speaking of other things i don’t like very much (cheery, right?). i have made two [...]
in summary, i spent the weekend taking care of business, such as washing/clipping/other maintenance of this little pug (aka stinky soph).
sewing a bunch of these little rosettes (which take for. ev. er. and make my hands hurt.)
and eating things like saltines with honey and peanut butter because mr. halloran is away and i don’t feel [...]
Spending the evening perfectly content to sit here and listen to my Damien Rice Pandora and make some crafty little bird ornaments.
Waiting for Mr. Halloran to come home from his ski foundation board meeting so I can witness more Nikki wrestling…
…while the pugs watch idly in the background.
Happiness.
Well, hello. I’m back. Our internet died, and I’ve been lazy, so a break I took. Let’s get to the catching up, shall we?
So, as an update on Miss Nikki. Staging came back with good answers. No sign of disease in her chest cavity nor her lymph nodes. That they could see anyway. Prognosis? 6 [...]
A week and a half ago I took our sweet Nikki to the vet for what I thought at worst would be an abscessed tooth, but turned out to be a massive tumor growing on the back of her tongue (the blood from the tumor had stained a couple of her teeth black). This tumor [...]
Sophie, my pride and joy, has been very itchy for several months. The last two months seem to have been particularly bad for her, and she spends most of her time like this.
Her itchy parts seem to be her rear, haunches, legs, tail, and the side of her stomach. Her skin can be really sensitive [...]
