A juggling technophile shares personal stories, challenges, humor and perhaps some political commentary.
Annie 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.
Antimony 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!
Don’t drink and buy apps for your cat.
Me: "Goddammit, quit stepping on the cats!"
(Probably not the most constructive statement in the moment)
I’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.”
I’d really like to get through one day without uttering the words, "Goddamn dog."
The cat wants to play fetch while the dog wants to be on the other side of the door.
The animals have decreed that it is time for me to wake up.
It is impossible to get out of bed when two cats are sleeping on you.
Pets do not make you live longer. They kill your husband off earlier which gives you the illusion of living longer.
My mornings should not begin with me walking around muttering to myself, "fucking cats."
I awake at 4am and suddenly all the animals think, "Yea! New feeding time!"
Last night I asked my son if the dogs had enough food for this morning. This word "yes" I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
Why is that every morning the cats act like they’ve never experienced our feeding routine before?
