I blogged a few months ago about my dog. He's 12yrs old and was drinking a lot, peeing a lot, with some accidents in the house. We ran the gamut of xrays and all kinds of labwork, all normal.

Wednesday I brought him to work for vaccines and regular labwork. While examining him, he peed all over me and the floor. He has never, ever...

My oldest cat is having similar issues, and is on special food. It's made a huge difference in his bloodwork, so I hope you're pup does okay too

It does make a huge difference, it can give them an extra few healthy years with the diet. It's amazing how food can have such an impact on longevity, much like humans. Glad to hear your kitty is doing well 😁 @nebula

@chefdaddy I usually don't like or get hand massages, but I was handling a 160lb dog and between today and tomorrow I will be doing a lot of work with my hands and back. My SO is too light, plus his hands aren't great either so they cramp up with how hard I like massages, it's not fair to make him hurt for my comfort. I'd gladly massage his hands in return though.

Hmmmm, never heard of giving a hand massage.Β  I've been told I give outstanding foot massages.Β  I suppose the approach wouldn't be all that different.

So, I was a functioning member of society today. Worked until 2. Did an ultrasound on a 160lb great dane [the one I posted a picture of not long ago], sedated thankfully. Unfortunately that meant he had to be dead-lifted and carried. Holding him in position was awkward and heavy. My bad shoulder hurts now πŸ€•. Still, was a decent day at work.

I came...

Woke up at 6:30am, tried for 2 hours to fall asleep. Just when I was about to give up and roll out of bed for coffee, I dozed off. It was restless, the wind was whipping, rain was beating against the house. It's so blah outside, I've been feeling kind of blah, so the weather and I kind of match 🌫🌬 That's not to say...

I can relate to your comment about "daily reminders".Β  My wife died a little over three years ago.Β  After 27 years of building our life together, her stuff is integral with my stuff.Β  Those reminders can't be separated (and I would not want them to be).Β  I had resisted anti-depression meds for a very long time.Β  Of course, everyone must make their own decisions.Β  I have been taking them for 20 years now and wish I had begun them sooner.
