our water filtration system broke! a few days of hard tap water got our sensitive little cody bear all . . . barfy. the water filter mechanism company is sending a replacement unit, gratis, but in the meantime….bottled water. after a week of barfing cody bear was back to a barf free existance after just 3 days of bottled water. 5 days sans throw up.
oh….sooo…yes, no you know why i always buy huge bundles of paper towels. you go through many, many paper towels when you have a dog with gastroparesis.
oh, and yes…you go through a fair amount of red wine when you have a dog with gastroparesis. JK!
but, we’re glad to say he is feeling MUCH better.
ready for playing. hard core romping!
we had an ok vet visit yesterday, in fact. he weighs 49.7 lbs. i still try to get him to 50 lbs. it’s been my goal for years. the doctor thought he looked healthy, but, as i said, the visit was ….ok. we have a lump we’re watching….
i think he’ll be fine. right?
for more info on cody bear’s gastroparesis…click on “gastroparesis” in the tag cloud to the left.
the dogs have just spotted a cat.
time to give them breakfast anyway. but first….
the shoes i’m wearing to work today.
…next to a hurl-a-squirrel

wow….what a week.
i have some news. not all of it is good, but none of it is TOO bad.
ok.
had a yard sale this weekend. i hate them but decided to do it for two reasons: 1. i need a little extra cash. things have been tight lately and cody bear has a vet appointment next monday. trying not to use my credit card. 2. there is just too much stuff in my house. i made $250 and my friend m. made 50ish and d. made 58. and i got rid of a bunch of crap jewelry i never wear anymore. the “cd’s for $1.00 each” was great. sold about 30 of those, some of wich buzzy bee girl left behind when she moved to cali.
moving on….cody bear is sick again. i think we are getting it in check, but between the onset of a new flair up and a couple mysterious bumps…well,….i best just take him in. i have learned he DEFINITELY has to have filtered or bottled water. city water is too hard for him and long term usage (a week or more) will really set him off.
on a related note: my pur water filtration system broke. AFTER i spent 60 bucks and a huge box of filters, opened it and used one.
business-wise: we have been working VERY hard on things and we’re having fun. our new studio lighting comes in. these will be continuous in addition to all the strobes and light boxes in the studio already. the new lights will be great to have for dogs that don’t like the pop of the strobe when getting their picture taken. we’re also getting 2 new cameras!!! also, our pr person worked hard on a pr plan and press release which is going out today!
the best part of all: it’s getting colder and i’m trying to put off turning the heat on until i can’t handle it anymore. well it’s working well because last night both dogs and the cat snuggled up around me and it was so comfortable. my head got cold though….maybe i should get another pet. what’s a good head warming pet? rabbit? bush baby? maybe i’ll just sleep in a hoody….

hi everyone!!!
so glad it is friday. been waiting for that pay check. going to pay college loan, buy dog food, put petrol in the car, that sort of stuff.
i have a mellow weekend planned: dog walking, movie rental, bike riding house cleaning, taking some pictures.
oh speaking of pictures, here is one from last weekend’s trip to the botanical gardens:
all you friends of cody bear and pickles, they’re doing fine. i’ll try to get some pictures up this weekend. i think pickles has finally stopped growing. she’s up to 38 pounds but a very tall girl.

my mom is in town. my house is a mess. and you know….that’s never a good scenario.
but let’s move on:
had a photo shoot at the park with some lovely golden retrievers sunday morning. some guy was walking circles around the lake with a net for over an hour. when we passed him on the way to our cars, k asked, “what have you been looking for?” he smiled and presented this…
there were also dragonflies and firefighters at the park! two of my favorite things to look at. (oh goodbear….you tramp!)
i’ve been very busy with work and dog photography biz stuff. in my free time i’ve been playing with the dogs and killing dangerous spiders. as usual, goodbear has a very glamorous life!
looks like i’m not the ONLY one interested in the firefighters! emmy has her eye on them, too!

sigh.
i know.
i haven’t written much lately. busy with the photography business and busy trying (unsuccessfully) to get my life straightened out.
cody bear and pickles are doing great. we just finished a super long walk in the cool fall air.
“why haven’t we heard about insects lately?” you’re asking. right? you’re asking that?
well, i have to admit…my heart wasn’t really into it after buzzy and dr. bee left town.and also, strangely….the bees have disappeared. i’ve always had bees sleeping here. but not for months.
what i did have was 7 black widows on my front porch. i had a friend come over one night after i realized they were there. we launched a wild assault and killed 6 that night. i killed on the day before.
they’re gone now. can’t have them there. too dangerous for the munchkins.
so…fly, mosquito, spider. but no bee.
