gratitude {№13}

seriously, i don't know how any human gets through life on earth without dogs.  i am so grateful for the love and laughter these two bring into our home.  luca is a wire fox terrier and simon is a corgi.  they fight some days but mostly love on each other.  in the photo above, luca is cleaning simon's ears, a daily event.

we lost our roxy dog this last summer which makes my gratitude for these two lovedogs the deepest of deep.

a good scottish dog

sweet roxy dog is courageously fighting a decline in her health.  she has lost her sight and struggles to make it up the stairs.  we made the difficult decision to treat her nutritionally and holistically at home.  she experiences extreme anxiety at the vet and we had a not-so-great outcome years ago when our beloved fox terrier milo was treated with traditional medical techniques (and by not-so-great, i mean a suffering dog who ultimately didn't make it in the end and huge debt fueled by guilt).

all of us (me and prof. parks, roxy, luca and simon) appreciate your prayers and mojo for a healthy happy dog and good judgement for her parents.

update:  sweet roxy dog crossed over on june7.  i know she is frolicking with her friends milo the terrier and bodhi the siamese.  i miss her so.

hi there

yes, I am still dog-paddling around a sea of uninspiration. the water's nice though.
