Looking back and looking forward

Posted on April 15, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Struggling

Posted on April 4, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

It’s been almost a year, and every minute that brings me closer to that anniversary is a minute filled with shards of glass in my heart. I knew, from the moment I heard that horrible word, “hemangiosarcoma,” that my life … Continue reading →

Treats and training and real food would be nice

Posted on March 29, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Here’s my problem – Maverick would rather eat treats any day than his regular food. He’s a stubborn little shit, and will hold out all day, sniff the bowl, maybe take a bite, then walk away. The “experts” say to … Continue reading →

I should be doing stuff

Posted on March 18, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Like reading Ulysses because I signed up for this Greek and Roman mythology course and I’m behind on the reading already. But I don’t feel like it right now, so I’ll complain later that I didn’t do it and be … Continue reading →

As y’all know if you’ve read anything I write, I have this wonderful, crazy, active, and very smart Golden Retriever puppy. I adore the little shit, but there are times when he stretches my nerves to the snapping point, and … Continue reading →

Progress

Posted on March 13, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Snow in March

Posted on March 4, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

A year ago, it snowed in March. It snowed today, more than it did last year Maverick loves it. Max loved it, too. I hate snow. I see little beauty in it, it takes a minute to become all brown … Continue reading →

root canal part three

Posted on February 27, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Off to the dentist I went today. More x-rays reveal that there’s nothing wrong with the tooth, or the teeth around it. My dentist, who is a very nice guy and wouldn’t lie to me, says there’s still infection there … Continue reading →

root canal part two

Posted on February 25, 2019 by suziecreamcheese

Drama

Posted on February 23, 2019 by suziecreamcheese
