Aftermath! Did you miss me?

 



The day after I was sick for two days, (Mama calls it Aftermath,) we were all exhausted. 
My  Mama/Photographer, AKA Daddy/Canine Caregiver, went to bed for 2 hours and when she came out from her nap, she found us like this.

She can't take photos in the dark and I am always sick on cold nights. She follows me step by step. 


This is her flannel gown/socks/sweater follow Beau in the dark when sick outfit.
Can you believe she took the trash bin to the curb in this outfit? 
Yep! She did.


We still have no grass, I need grass when I am sick, I wander, pace and hunt grass, a bite here, a bite there. We go inside and Mama holds me and hugs me and talks to me and then we go back and wander the yard. She carries her cell phone around her neck in case she falls down and we need to call 911

These photos were taken a few weeks ago, you will have to image the DARK part.


No grass here, I am moving on,

You can see the grass up by the hose is green.

Sunday Selfie (BeauSpeak)

 

Beau Saturday March 7,2026


I absolutely refused to look at the cell phone, Saturday when Mama said it was Selfie Sunday. She said be that way, took 4 shots and said forget the BeauSpeak, today will be 
MAMA-Speak
Two weeks ago the below email came from Beau's Vets office. 


It is warning us that URI (upper respiratory infection) sometimes called kennel cough, is rampant and that the county has issued a warning that even dogs vaccinated can still get it. They suggested no parks, no visits with other dogs, if walking stay away from any dogs you meet.. It is very contagious. This is the first ever warning like this we have ever received from the vet office or county.

Part of the email explained, just sniffing the pee, or poop or eating the poop can spread the kennel cough to your dog.

Our local news a few weeks back, notified us to be careful of things our dog eats while on a walk. A local pet owner lost her Golden Retreiver out on their morning walk, the dog picked up and swallowed a packet, that had contained cocaine laced with fentanyl and 1 grain can kill a dog. The Golden died within 3 minutes of swallowing it.

 Since March is Pet Poison Prevention Month, I wanted to warn all of you that there are many plants that are poisonous to our pets. Our summer is here and I will be on patrol while walking or in the back yard for the trees that are dangerous. 
this is a list of our common Florida plants on the poison list, you can search for your areas list of plants and be careful while walking your pet.
Many common Florida landscape and houseplants are toxic to dogs, with Sago Palms, Oleander, Azaleas, and Lantana being among the most dangerous. Other hazards include Caladium, Philodendron, Castor Bean, and Angel’s Trumpet. Ingestion can cause severe symptoms, including vomiting, diarrhea, tremors, and, in severe cases, liver or heart failure

Copy Cat Copy Cat

 


Ann from SnapEditScrap sketches, I do a copy cat inspired by hers. She uses colored pencils, I paint in Procreate on my iPad. https://annssnapeditscrap.blogspot.com/

I combined the girl and the vine and changed from hearts to shamrocks.



Also combined the bunny and made the bird little peeps, biddies, chicks, diddles: all words for baby chickens



I copied this from a color book... like the 5 year old I have become...









Farmer: "Go round up all the sheep."

Dog: (Comes back) "I've got them all, all 40."

Farmer: "40?!? There should only be 37."

Dog: "I know, I rounded them up".
