Alex And Halloween – Part II

This year I decided not to make Alex wear her pumpkin costume.  I was debating about whether or not to do it, but for one, Alex does not like to wear a costume, and two, I promised another blogger that as a sign of solidarity I’ll let Halloween go by without making a big deal…

Alex, In The Arms Of Morpheus

Today, Sunday, was one of those days when Alex decided that she’d rather sleep than eat.  Do I like it?  No, I hate it, to put it mildly because I worry everytime she does not eat.  But, then I reminded myself that there are days when she eats only 1 cup rather than her usual 3…

Tired After Our Walk In DC

Today, Sunday, is a beautiful day.  Why?  I have my loved ones, Cynthia, Alex, our dog, and Dozer and Sarris, two boarders staying with us at home with me soundly asleep. We woke up a little before 8am, went for our walk and came back for breakfast.  The walk was a little shorter than usual…
