Our recent trip took us back to Maryland for a couple of days, and while wrapping things up we decided to go and have some fun. We went to a beach near Annapolis, MD. It was beautiful and Cynthia was able to take a lot of pictures. For the last couple of months, we have…

Spring is Coming – 2015
Do you know how Alex is going to welcome Spring? She will start by taking frequent naps specially when we go out sightseeing and/or shopping. She has to have her beauty sleep. Alex’s naps will be followed by walks throughout the day. She is a senior, almost 13 years old, and as such it is…
Alex’s ACL Injury – 15 Months Later
In November 2013, Alex injured her ACL and I was beyond scared. So scared that I was ready to put her through surgery, but my better half, Cynthia, talked me out of it, and even today I am glad we made the right decision for Alex. Please, bear in mind that neither Cynthia nor I…
Alex’s ACL Injury – Part 3
Almost 5 months have gone by since Alex’s ACL injury, and I am glad that we did not put her through surgery. Well, that is thanks to Cynthia for talking me out of it. Years ago, Cynthia and I took a class in college and our instructor called us, the dynamic duo, and you know…
Alex’s ACL Injury – Update 1
Three weeks ago, we received the brace featured in the above picture for Alex and Cynthia took this picture minutes after we put it on her. We got this brace for Alex because we wanted to use the least invasive method to treat her injury and so far this is what we do and have…

Walter Prefers To Hang Out Under The Table Rather Than His Bed
Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be 6 weeks of Alex being on limited walks and a lot of bed rest. Alex seems to be enjoying her bed rest. Walter, on the other hand, decided that the best place for him to hang out and fall asleep is under the table. I guess he does that because in…
Alex, Still On Bedrest
It’s been a month since Alex, as per her vet’s instructions, has been on bedrest. I thought that she was going to drive me nuts because she is a very active dog even now that she is almost 11 years old. To my surprise, and delight, she has taken this time off from walking quite…
Nap Time For My Canine Companions – Alex, Walter And Roxy
After our walk and breakfast, I did dishes and I asked Cynthia to hang out in the living room with Alex, Walter and Roxy until I was done. Once I was finished, I went to see what these kids were doing, and here they all are: Roxy asleep on one of her favorite spots. Every…
Walter – My Aussie Walking Partner
Well, since my girl, Alex, will be on bed rest for 2 months or longer, my walking partner for the next couple of days is Walter. As you can see, he was more interested looking at who knows what than posing for the camera. I called his name, and when he turned my way I…
