This was the first year that I did not see Cynthia cook for hours on end. For a change, this Thanksgiving day she decided to cook less things and take a nap. That is something unprecedented for her, but I was glad. Every year she asks me, “Why do you think my feet and legs…

Deck Restoration By All My Canine Companions – Part II
After we finished making our deck look decent, Alex decided to go and check it out. Yes, that is how she checked out our work and I’d venture to say that she was happy with the end product. Bella, on the other hand, decided to “inspect” very carefully our work before she paid us with…
Happy 12th Birthday Alex
Yesterday, my beautiful Alex turned 12 and we decided to celebrate her birthday by taking pictures and having some cake. Alex wasn’t interested in posing for pictures because all she wanted to do was kiss her sister. Look at Bella’s face. Bella decided to hide from Alex because she did not want to stop her…
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…

Exercising Alex, My Senior Dog
The above body language from Alex signals to me that she is ready to go around me making a circle while on a retractable leash a couple of times. Oh boy, every time she does that I am dizzy, but I know she loves it. Alex is 11 1/2 years old, and even at that…
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…
