Max started out at 3 units of insulin every 12 hours. His first glucose test was 650. After 9 days of treatment it was 538, which is still high. (sad trombone) The doctors want to see him in the 200s,…
Max has diabetes
Two blog posts in one day? Am I mad? (answer: yes)I took Max to the vet last night because he’s having pee problems. He’s peeing himself while he sleeps (JUST as disgusting to deal with as you’d imagine) and occasionally…
Eleven years of Max!
Eleven years ago today, I brought Max home from the shelter. I don’t know how old he is, which saddens me. When we brought him home the vet said he was 1 or 2 years old. Which makes him 12…
Celebrating a decade of fangs and loyalty
Max has been with me for ten years now! Three moves, three last names, and a puppy brother later, he’s still my best buddy. Max loves me and anything that I hold close to me. I love Max and hope…
The story of OllieBear

School days, school days
This week I’m taking a “Fundamentals of SQL” class at the local branch of our County College. I’m a bit nervous, because it’s out of my educational comfort zone (which solely entails listening to Coffee Break Spanish and TechTV podcasts)….
What the get the dog that has everything
(or, the dog who won’t leave a pillow alone)
buenos dias
During the work week, Poochus McDoofus (nickname via the Wandering Minstrel) and I usually take our morning walk around 6:15 or so. During that time I listen to an episode of Coffee Break Spanish on the iPod. It’s a lot…
The rock-bottom blog post
A few months back, during a trip to IKEA, I had the bright idea of purchasing a pillow for Charlie to relax on. I did this because he was curling up in a pile of plastic bags that he dragged…
