PART TWO

Well, my effort on Dakota’s elbow ulcer worked but not well enough. I’ve thrown in my dog nursing towel and turning it over to my vet. She can figure out what to do. I’m beginning to think just ignoring it would be a good answer but I don’t want to risk possible infection at his age.

I also have realized something positive has come from my two computer crashes. I put my brain into gear and all of the work I’ve put it through has really helped my thinking and memory process. At my age that is a good thing. It certainly helped me more than just becoming a couch potato and watching weekend football games and more baseball.

My sole mate of 49 years did battle with the media companies and I have my dish stations back again. I was so looking forward to getting up this morning to watch Imas. Wouldn’t you know I overslept. Usually when I oversleep I find Dakota waiting for me at the stairs rather than on the bed for his morning “love in” but such was not the case this morning. He wanted his time even if I was late. I cannot deny him that special time. I think he was so happy to wake up and find that I was no longer messing with his leg.

So, this afternoon his doctor will do what has to be done and I will nurse my guilt in failing to solve the problem. But he will be gushed over by the whole clinic staff that adore him and he will come home a happy camper. I will now be able to turn my full attention to my new computer and ponder how I can find my lost email addresses and files.

Halloween is next.
