Goodbye sweet boy. You have been the best boy ever. You have held our hearts for 14 years and we wouldn’t have wanted to miss one single minute of it. Rest in peace. Sing your heart out.

Oscar, had all teeth removed a week ago. His mouth was badly diseased, not uncommon with small dogs. This has been a tough time, many sleepless nights, difficulty eating & overall frustration & anxiety. The spot under his eye is where his face was swollen from an abscess, which drained.

The birds have been so fun to watch with the new china feeders and watered. Some of the fruits of my friends and I having weekly “creative days.”

Our sweet little Oscar had to have all of his teeth pulled in a four hour surgery. He has had a really bad night with pain, confusion from meds and anesthesia and not being able or willing to eat. Not the least of which is the plastic cone. I made a fleece cover for it and he is so much more comfy.

Avocado toast with salt, pepper and chili powder…I know, VERY California!
I paired this with a juicy, farm raised organic orange and a cup of HOT, black coffee for breakfast.

Cuteness overload: my “grand-kitten” fell asleep on my lap today. I imagine this is similar to when one has a human grand baby and it falls asleep while you’re holding her. I don’t want to move and disturb her.
