Poor Tiger – the dreaded visit to the vet
I hated to do it, because of the stress it causes for both of us, but it goes with the territory. Tiger’s a sweet boy, a senior cat of 17 in human years, and had been sniffling, sneezing, and wheezing for a few weeks.… Continue Reading “Poor Tiger – the dreaded visit to the vet”

“Good morning, Tiger. Don’t look so alarmed. There will be no trip to the vet today” “Sorry, Sue.” “We were doing it for you, Tiger. Because we care about you. Just a short ride. A quick checkup. It would have been fine. “ “But… Continue Reading “A Conversation with Tiger”

Watching and Waiting
I really didn’t want to be there with so many dogs coming and going. Dogs looking bewildered, people looking troubled. Mostly I saw big heads leaning on big paws – the dogs not the people. The people sat still and glum and stuck to… Continue Reading “Watching and Waiting”

Tiger – from the Jail!
Tiger here. With a tale about the jail. And my dramatic escape. Okay, just kidding. There was no dramatic escape. But there was a rather harrowing experience with the jail box today. Now that I have settled down I will tell you about it. … Continue Reading “Tiger – from the Jail!”
