a Tiny description

a full time artist, stepmother, radio personality, and mom to an energetic Chug dog, tries to get through the days without committing a felonious act. My life is a rickety Zen circus.

what did i say, again?

so, was it just a few hours ago, I laid out my beautiful plan for an artful day? wasn't it, right? ha! surely i knew then that by now, nary a drop of paint or rust would be spilled. surely i must have known then that diva would have a $350+ vet bill, a collar of shame (in blue) and many prescriptions and orders for a b-a-t-h twice a week with stinky stuff. i must have known that. *sigh* i now know how charlie brown felt all those years when Lucy held the football. the good news is: nothing life threatening. the bad: so far, I've had more blood drawn trying to give her the darn pill, then she had drawn at the office. the pill pockets are too small for the capsules, so it's off to the store. the bath went over like - well, it wasn't a hit. let's just say that. and the collar of shame is aptly named. but in 2 weeks, hopefully she'll be doing okay. bacteria & yeast infection that has spread up her leg, under her eye, around her mouth. yep - all the places that her infected saliva could carry it. poor bean bean. she looks so small when she's that wet! *************************************************************************************************************** note to art show people: although the theme is "Beauty Is..." please submit anything you choose. The main point is to sell - it is a fundraiser! The director expressly requests, though, that the work not define eating disorders specifically - she is a wonderful woman who knows her clients & families best. I have gotten 21 Yes! responses, and the list is exciting!

My daughter swears by peanut butter for giving puppies their meds - messy, but hard to untangle the pill!

I will try it! So far, opening it & shaking the nasty stuff on cat food has grudgingly worked. But cat food isn't so good for her.
