Lucky

LuckyApril 1, 1991 - September 30, 2005 When my first dog, Puggy, arrived, I was only 5 and too young to help raise her. Mickey came to us at mid-life. We adopted Max as an adult as well. But Lucky (also known as Yodel for her barking style) came to us as a squirming parasite-and-scabies infested ball of puppy when I was 18. Once she learned not to pee all over me, I took the bread-crust-colored dog everywhere. To the pizza place a few blocks away. To the corner to wait for John's bus. To ...

Saturday in Pictures

From the PhoneCam! Mom's away for the night and John is working until 6:30ish, so I volunteered to swing by the house (where I am now) and check in on Lucky. Lucky's 14 and is slowly shuffling her way toward the end of her life with us. After hitting the fridge for some Mountain Dew (my God...mothers have such full fridges!) I escorted her to the yard to do her business. She is very slow and unsure on her feet. Sometimes she falls...but she hasn't today. Her eyes are dull. I've been here ...

If it's not one thing...Talked to Mom a few moments ago and found out that Lucky was at the vet last night for some bloodwork. She's leaking urine, drinking a lot, and panting a lot. Symptoms sound way too familiar to me for my comfort. Lucky and Mickey were about the same age. Trying to buck up here.In other, much more trivial news, I'm moving ahead with a Halloween costume. Two years ago I was Little Red Riding hood (I was pushing 175 lbs then so it was more like "Frau Helga the bloated ...

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
