Since Oreo had his rabies vaccination last week, we’re free to take him out in public. This is good, since he needs to be exposed to as many different environments, people and other dogs as possible so that he becomes properly socialized. Lucky for us, the breeder he came from had a handful of other [...]

Oreo
Posted in Friends, Pets on July 6, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
After a disappointing start to the summer weather-wise, it has been a wonderfully warm, sunny weekend. I type this sitting in the back yard, as the dogs wrestle and run through the grass. Yes, I love wireless networking; being able to work or study outdoors makes it much more enjoyable.
Last weekend we were in Edmonton [...]
Cookie’s Haircut
Posted in Home, Pets on January 9, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Cookie had a haircut yesterday at Small Wonders. She looks very different; her hair was very long, knotted and matted, and now it’s shaved down to almost nothing. Her bad eye is much more visible now, and it actually looks pretty good–mostly just a red spot, and some cloudiness.
We were pre-approved for a mortgage at [...]
Viewing

On January 2nd, the mother of a friend of mine passed away. Last night, Merita and I went to the viewing. It was a powerful experience, and our friend really seemed to appreciate our presence, so I’m glad we could do something to help her get through this difficult time.
In lighter news, today Cookie saw [...]
Cookie & The Evil Drops

As part of Cookie’s recovery from her eye problem, we have to put drops in her eye three times a day. She finds this to be a most unpleasant experience, and puts up a fight, but does eventually let us get it done.
She has been sleeping most of the rest of the time, as the [...]
Cookie the Conehead

Cookie is home! The procedure to repair her eye went well, and I picked her up this morning. She doesn’t look too bad, although she’s pretty groggy from the whole ordeal. I’m sure in a few days she’ll be back to mostly-normal. We have to put drops in her eye several [...]

Cookie’s Eye
Posted in Pets on December 2, 2003 | Leave a Comment »
While she was staying with the pet-care service during the wedding, our dog Cookie developed a problem with one of her eyes. The service dropped her at our vet on the Danforth, and I then took her to an animal opthomologist for closer examination. It wasn’t good–the eye had basically been punctured and collapsed, either [...]
