If you need an arm workout, here's what I've found is the best formula... #WORKOUTTIPS
Curls? No.
Weights? No.
Regular gym visits? No.
Place an 85 lb dog (with major pull power -- Husky, Pittie, Bulldog, etc.) on a long 8 to 10 ft leash on a harness.
Find where the squirrels in your neighborhood hang out.
HANG ON FOR DEAR LIFE!!! PULL LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER PULLED BEFORE!!!! (ps. make sure you don't get leash burn... dislocate a finger... or get pulled face first as they drag you down the street/trail. Or through the bushes).
We were all awake early this morning. My husband has to attend his twenty millionth comp and pen appointment for the VA, which requires a three hour drive.
I can assure everyone that the VA takes this process very seriously. So seriously in fact that Veterans with multiple cancers, all considered 100% service related, and the residual medical, and mobility issues related to surgeries and treatments including the removal of major organs, can still be denied permanent disability thereby saving the average tax payer not very much.
For us, this challenge of constant appointments and denials wears us down.
Summer and I are patiently waiting so we can welcome him home, which is what the VA should have been doing since 1969.
Summer in the early morning sun brings us joy and a smile.
Good morning, Mastodon. #Summer#Dogs
Almost a month ago we thought we were saying goodbye to Cookie. Cookie was like, not today (if you’re ever in SF needing an emergency vet, Dr Winnie Ybarra at SF AMC is incredible and I believe the reason why Cookie is alive today)
This is Ginger. She was one of several #dogs that I met yesterday. I don't know her #DogBreed. Very interesting, snout-like face on her. She was calm & friendly.
Summer and I spent the afternoon planting our vegetable starts. The only starts that are still growing in toilet paper rolls are marigolds. We might get those planted this weekend.
We planted four different types of lettuce radishes, spinach, and carrots in the ground today.
We are feeling pretty good about future salads.
Well, Summer isn't much of a salad dog, but she will eat the green beans growing down the row a piece. #Summer#Dogs
I’ve been dealing with different versions of ‘what to do when spaniel ears get into their food’ for 15 years. This is this week’s attempt to manage that mess
