Take better care of my pets (read all 3 entries…)
Dora is going to the vet today 1 week ago

She’s been coughing, and recently had a problem with her left eye (that may be clearing itself up).

Over a week ago, I ordered her in a popular dehydrated commercial food, even though I couldn’t really afford to. She’s so picky, that I was hoping she might not have a problem with this food (after I’d remembered reading testimonials for the company’s other products, claiming that dogs loved them, and would get excited waiting for them to finish dehydrating). Maybe it’s just that it’s their newest formula, but Dora didn’t go crazy over it, and neither did the others; even Bertie – nicknamed Kirby, after the vacuum cleaner – wasn’t sure about it at first… Walter ate a little bit off my fingers, but wouldn’t take any out of the bowl, and Emily and Rita wouldn’t try it at all. I’ll try them with it again later on, adding in a little ground meat, and see if that helps. My dogs hardly ever go crazy for things that others do. :/

(This picture of Dora was taken about eight or nine years ago. That elephant goes everywhere with her. :) )



not give in to depression (read all 2 entries…)
This hasn't been going so well 4 weeks ago

I haven’t forgotten that I have messages and comments to respond to; I’m sorry for leaving it so long, and will respond when I’m feeling a bit more myself. :)
