Laura, sympathies to your friend and to you, if indeed he has to leave you.
You might want to have a vet check Brandy's nose for an obstruction or anything else that might be limiting her olfactory capabilities. The nose is pretty much the 'heart' of a dog's memory, no pun intended.
That is a good idea, bonny. Her smell is her only good sense these days as she has been deaf for a while and her vision ain't what it used to be either. She actually wakes from a deep sleep if I leave the room which makes us believe she misses my scent.
Good luck tomorrow, sj. May the new doctor have new solutions that alleviate your pain.
I hope everything goes well tomorrow, sj.
Laura, good thoughts for Brandy and I'm sorry about your coworker/friend's loss.
I've been trying to go to sleep for 45 min, including taking benedryl an hour ago. I think I need to switch to decaf. The fact that I can't stop thinking about the talk I need to have with that trainee tomorrow is not helping. Anyone have strategies for dealing with hair trigger tempers? I am conflict avoidy so I tend to... avoid. Which I'm not sure is the best course in this case.
Much, much all-purpose ~ma to Andi, to be applied as needed.
And smonster hugs, but no advice, as I am also conflict-avoidy and hair-trigger tempers make me break out in hives and cold sores.
~ma for Andi.
May the new doctor have new solutions that alleviate your pain.
What Laura said.
And I am sorry to hear that Brandi is declining. It's so hard.
~ma to Andi and Daniel. Now I'm going to worry until we here something.
I'm so sorry, Laura.
I hope Andi's okay. -ma aplenty.
That's tough news, Laura. You really deserve to have some rainbows and unicorns and sugar cookies type news, I think. It's not been the easiest year for you.
I am here to declare my love for angel hair pasta. Sure, I've gone on flings with rotini and fettucine before, and straight up spaghetti. But when you're cooking mushrooms in olive oil and butter with a dash of sherry, and you toss in some seitan and kalamata olives and pepper flakes and baby spinach leaves, well then angel hair is the way to go.
David, that does sound very tasty.
Laura, much doggy~ma for Brandy.
