I am lucky to have a partner that shares my love of animals. He loves our dogs. He loves our cat too. What he really loves about our cat is that she kills spiders. He hates spiders. When the kids were little and Dad found a spider in the house they used to yell "Don't kill it Dad!" as they ran to me so that I could save it. I happen to love what spiders can do. They are incredible hunters, and they belong outside.
I am talking about my good fortune with my mate because it would be a bummer to be with someone who didn't love pets. That would be a deal breaker. I don't trust a person who doesn't like a dog.
Because of the number of fur children in our house, many times we put their care in front of our entertainment plans. That isn't a complaint, its just a reality. We have limited funds, but we will stretch it if they need something. Our dogs range in ages from 10 years down to 1& 1/2 years. Senior citizens down to teenage youth -so we see it all with their care and daily requirements. The pets are a priority and we love them.
Pets tend to be like toddler children-- they get sick on a Friday afternoon, usually around 3 pm. Many gray hairs are created deciding if a Vet appointment is needed before the weekend begins. Friday was one of those days. Our bloodhound Kelsey has ears that tend to get moist. The ears are used to collect smells when they drag on the ground when her head is down. That moistness can get "yeasty" which means ear infection.
We will be having some quiet time at home this weekend. Rest and recuperation for our senior girl. The weather may cooperate for some yard work. If not, then Redbox here we come. We won't be renting Arachnophobia or Old Yeller.
FYI: Bulldogs often have problems with soy products. While other possible allergens are often discussed (corn, wheat) this one is often missed.
Just wondering-- if Spring comes in like a Lion and out like a Lamb, and there are the Dog days of Summer-- what is Fall? Is there an animal?
