Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Hospital Run


Arline was having heart problems this morning. Her heart would sometimes stop, and then at other times race away ... heartbeats between 115 - 180 bpm.

I took her to the V.A. clinic ... all they wanted to do was call an ambulance to take her to the hospital next door. We walked out and I took her to the Emergency Room at SEAMC Hosp. (saved $200 for the ambulance ride).

This machine kept going off with noise and a flashing yellow light ... kind of like being in a casino ... except no quarters were pouring out. How irritating!

The upper chambers of her heart are vibrating and not beating in synch with the lower chambers ... which screws up the electrial node that connects them.

The doctor says she will be there until Friday.

I have this horrible lousy cold ... but need to drive this load to Jacksonville and deliver in the morning. Ugh.
