A good dog
Saturday, July 28th, 2007Cuervo crossed the bridge this morning. He would have been ten years old next month. He was a good dog.
It’s time
Friday, July 27th, 2007Cuervo’s crashing. He went from a relatively stable 26% to 13% this week. Tonight’s the night to say goodbye. I’m heartbroken. Haven’t told the kids yet because they have a friend over to play.
This is hard.
Another dog update
Friday, June 15th, 2007So what happened to Cuervo was a bad reaction to one of the immunosuppressants he was taking for his anemia condition. His front feet swelled up really badly and basically just sort of blew out. His left foot has almost no black pad on it at all. We’ve been having to tape [...]
Doggie update
Sunday, June 10th, 2007Quickie update - Cuervo’s still staying at the vet, but they have been calling us daily with reports. He’s “scarfing down food” and keeping it down. He’s also said to be in good spirits. The only problem is that they had to stop treating the big bad long-term problem in order to [...]
Bad news
Thursday, June 7th, 2007The kids are with their grandparents in Houston right now. The dog is really sick.

He’s been in and out of the hospital a few times over the last couple of weeks, [...]
My dog got run over by a whitetail
Saturday, May 26th, 2007The dog’s been sick lately and he’s on a bunch of meds that make him have to pee. A lot. All the time.
So tonight he went outside to do his business and he was rushed by an angry doe. She came up to him, about 4 feet away from where hub was [...]
Two more
Monday, May 29th, 2006One live recluse, one dead. The live one was on the underside of Jo’s mattress. The dead one was under Caroline’s bed.
Brown Recluse Report

Who let the dog out of the bag?
Thursday, April 20th, 2006Every night our dog Cuervo sits in Jo’s room to keep her company while she goes to sleep. We let him out when we go up to bed. We’ll usually hear a little bit of thumping while he gets comfortable, but nothing serious.
The other night hub fell asleep on the couch and I [...]
