Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Annie, Daily Life, Family, PetsAnnie says, “I have no idea what is going on. I taste colors. I see fractals. I’m beginning to understand the true nature of the universe. I am dog!”
N.b. We thought Annie was suffering a partial tear in the dog equivalent of an acl. That’s a $4000 surgery. Turns out she pulled her groin. The treatment is 10 weeks of sedation, pain medicine, and muscle relaxers. My only question is: what can I do to pull my groin? I could use the rest.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Annie, Daily Life, PetsAntimony gets so excited at the vet’s office. Has to jump on everyone and kiss all her new friends.
At the vet to discuss a $4000 surgery to fix a torn ACL for Annie the dog. But there is no tear. Dog pulled her groin. No surgery for that. Dog gets 10 weeks of rest. Yes, a golden retriever has to rest…for 10 weeks!

What do you want to be when you grow up? August 20, 2016 7:17 pm
Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, Of Being Dad, PetsI’m pretty sure as a child I wanted to be an architect (thank you Dad and Michael Brady), and maybe an astronaut, and definitely an entertainer; but NEVER do I recall saying, “Hey, I’d like to spend the better part of my adult life cleaning up pee and poo and other bodily fluids.”

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life, Family, PetsPets do not make you live longer. They kill your husband off earlier which gives you the illusion of living longer.
