Crossed Signals?

 My Eddie is fine. He is not too happy with his little trip to see the vet, but he was happy to come home and occupy his favorite spot on the ottoman. They made him vomit. Only the second dose came up, so he digested the original dose and is safe from ticks, fleas and mites. A little over $200, but at least I don't have to rush a new shipment of Bravecto.

They warned that he might have diarrhea, so I put a pee pad on the bed with the intention of him having an accident on it and not on my bedding. I could hear his stomach gurgling as I tried to get to sleep. I am happy to report that all was clean and dry (except for dog hair) when I opened my eyes this morning.

 Not normal yet and he is sticking to my side and avoiding Drew. Speaking of normal .... it was 80 degrees yesterday and absolutely wonderful. I planted some early peas and just to be on the safe side, I covered the bed with plastic and put the portable doggie fence up to keep BoJangles from pouncing on it. It looked like overkill, all my efforts, but I was glad I did it. It was raining and cold when I woke this morning.

I mowed for the first time this year and that is supposed to signal Spring! Maybe the signal didnt make it to the proper place?

    I'm glad to hear that Eddie came through his adventure with no issues.

      Eddie seems to lead a charmed life and is always stoic when he feels bad. He is still my sweet boy!

    I'm surprised the second dose wasn't already on its way to being digested.

      I gave him the first dose a couple of hours before the second dose he was not supposed to have. Since he was scooped up and taken to the vet almost immediately after that second dose, it was still pretty much intact. Thank goodness he did not chew it up before he swallowed it.

    That's a relief! Eddie is wise to be wary of Drew for a while, after the medicating, and getting thumped in the bed!

      Eddie has always been partial to me except when treats are involved. Just like your routine treats before you leave to go to town, they expect a treat from him when he gets up in the morning. Since he was offering what Eddie thought was a treat to Bo, Eddie just got in line. Since all the dogs are black, it is easy to mistake one head for the other! Bo will snatch a treat aggressively from your hand, while Eddie and Toni will carefully sniff it first then gently take the offering. Eddie is so slow that I have witnessed Bo snatch a treat from Eddie's teeth! So, if any dog would have been double dosed, I would have bet on Bo!

Hot Diggity Dog!

  Although this is my very first post, I am not new to blogging. For years I have been sharing my good days, my bad days, and many calamities with those who cared to read my words.  Did I want to start a brand-new blog? Not really. Life sometimes gets in the way. I acquired a stalker along the way. She is relentless and will not go away. I have had readers who disagree with me and have even said some harsh things in comments. Eventually they seem to move on and let me be. Not this one. The easiest thing was to stop posting on my old blog and create a new one. So, here I am. My new blog name would suggest that I am excited. I suppose I am. That being said, the name is more like a tribute to my canine companion, Charming Eddie. Charming Eddie is a dachshund, hotdog, wiener dog, fat little sausage filled with love for me. My constant companion has inspired many a story. Not just him, but his canine and turtle siblings. Yes, I am Mom to 3 dogs and a turtle. If I had my way, there ...

I No Longer Care

  My dental checkup went well. He told me the bone graft will take another 3 months to heal completely. Then they scheduled my next visit with the oral surgeon to get started on the implant that will be on the other side of my mouth. Oh, goody. That will take 4 months to heal before the actual implant will be put in. Next week I will see the ortho about the shoulder. I have an idea ....... why don't they work simultaneously and do both procedures at once? Might as well make good use of the time I am under anesthesia, right? In other momentous events of the day ..... The temperature was rising when I came home, so I decided to take my jeans off and get something cooler to wear. That is when I discovered a lone sock, and a pair of my underwear had been in one pant leg the whole while I was out and about. Now I wonder if there was a lump showing somewhere on that leg and what those who saw it thought it might be. And that is when I realized that I l didn't care!

A Forever Commitment

  I posted twice yesterday, so the story is a little out of order at this point. We knew she would retaliate for the losing her opportunity to milk more money from my son. But the lengths she went to are just evil. My daughter and her son were awaiting their flight to the east coast to visit with one her friends. I forget where exactly, I want to say Connecticut. I can say for sure that it was close to New York. This was a trip they were both looking forward to. I was the only member of our family that was receiving the daily barrage of texts and emails from the evil one. This particular day was a doozy. The text I opened was a video of Child Three, sitting on her bed talking into the phone. In the background I could clearly hear the mother as she coached that innocent child to "describe" being molested by my grandson! It was very clear that she was coaching her "remember, you told me he did this or that". Prior to this, my grandson was always around their house fro...
