Why Not to Tell Absolutely Everyone Your Dog Is Sick
I admit it. When Frankie was first diagnosed with diabetes I couldn’t shut up about it.
Part of it was the fact that, until he got regulated, it was the only thing on my mind. When I wasn’t at the vet getting glucose curves, I was on line browsing canine diabetes sites that predicted imminent blindness [...]

He’s a dog, not a disease
I really didn’t want to blog about canine diabetes.

Japanese dog dressing, part 1

CATs for dogs?
Ok, this is going to be my last eyewear post. I don’t want you to think it’s an obsession. But I’m a sucker for working dogs — that’s right, Frankie; if I thought you were qualified for anything besides being charming, you’d be out earning your keep — and couldn’t resist reporting on the new [...]
