  • Hard Pill to Swallow

    I was up early to ensure I would be there when Dr. Nair came by. It was rush hour, so Tank and I had to brave the traffic. There is nice wide St Augustine grass strips that is good for pooping, but it is right next to Main Street. And, of course, Tank likes to…

  • Hotel Waiting

    Tank was sad as we packed our bags to leave Monday morning. It’s funny how animals get when they see things coming. Zoey was always pouty pants the night before we’d leave for a trip. Tank changed his attitude quickly when I took him to the front door, where his bag was packed and ready…

  • Back Again

    On Friday, we had to head to San Antonio for Amanda’s Botox migraine treatment. Amanda needed to work for a bit first. I told her I was sleeping in and to wake me when she was ready. So, I took her, came back, and got ready myself. I needed to grab the mail; I had…

  • Back Home

    This morning, we slept late. I didn’t even get out of bed till just before 10. The nosebleed day was exhausting; I can only imagine how Amanda feels. Once up, I got ready. Tank had a midnight potty run, so he didn’t bother me or bother uncurling himself from next to his mom. He’s a…

  • Plot Twist

    We slept late, and while Amanda was going to start getting ready, I took Tank out. He was annoying; I knew I didn’t have time to get ready, so I just threw some clothes on to run him out. When I got back, I heard Amanda blow her nose in the shower and say, “Uh…

  • Discharged

    After Amanda was feeling better, I went to let Tank out and grab a heavier snack to hold us over till dinner. We have been watching Grey’s and are to the covid era. We’d watched a few episodes today. Amanda’s immunocompromised state has us using covid protocols now, too. So when I left, after our…

  • Round 3

    Tank must have needed to go this morning because he wouldn’t leave me alone while I got ready, peering at me through the cracked bathroom door. He is doing much better now. The many prayers and poops have helped for sure! The ring camera was set up, so I watched him as I left. He…

  • A Long Wait

    After lunch, Amanda had to spill the beans. She’d planned a little something for my birthday. Our heart friends that live close by were bringing a cake for my birthday. Amanda had planned for them to have a hospital dinner date with us. They ended up being sick, though. That didn’t stop them from delivering…

  • A Good Poop and Prayers

    One of the main reasons I stayed last night was Tank barking. Daytime is much better; people are gone for testing, eating, and not even checked in. Nighttime will make sleeping people mad! I decided when I woke up that I was going to see Amanda no matter how Tank acted. I planned to get…

  • The Tank saga

    Well, I haven’t quite made it to see Amanda yet. I’m beginning to wonder if bringing Tank was a bad idea. Before I left Tank, I showed him how to use the chair to get in the bed. He’s getting old, and we have a ramp for him at home. He wouldn’t quite use the…
