I’ve been hard at work trying to make it so Wink can continue our walks even in cold, snowy weather. It’s been a process, to say the least. But I’m determined.

The latest problem to solve has been how to keep Wink’s feet protected.

I started off with these waterproof, skidproof booties from Amazon.com EXPAWLORER Waterproof Dog Boots Reflective Non-Slip Pet Booties. They get 4 stars, and for a lot of people, they seem to do the trick.

This condition is called Vasovagal syncope which causes you to faint because your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood. It’s actually a hereditary condition she got from her father. He also faints at the sight of any blood.

Fortunately for Cait, she only faints at the sight of her own blood. She’s got no problem swimming in other people’s blood.

Good thing for her, since she’s currently scribing at a couple of Emergency Departments.… Read More

Without Graidy as Wink’s point person, he has become even more attached to me, if that’s possible. Which means he doesn’t do well when I’m not in his immediate orbit.

So I stopped going for walks because Wink, at 12 1/2 years old, can’t walk as far as I like to go. Then I thought–that’s silly, there must be a solution. And sure enough…

I found this No-Zip Expedition Zipperless Entry Pet Stroller on Amazon

I’ve been on a bit of a health kick lately, as there are some physically demanding activities I’m planning on doing and I need to make sure my body can keep up.

So, of course, all research leads to the internet. But, as we know, it’s also a place full of minefields; a big one being health and fitness. So when I saw this, I wasn’t surprised.

Just Appreciate the Meme, Ma

/ Cait and Me / By / Leave a Comment

Cait is going through “a phase” where she prefers to be independent in every imaginable way, including relationships.

Yet I can’t help myself but want to encourage her to be more open to all of life.

And, just like her, she snapped me back to … Read More
