A Dear Poo & Lizard Tale

My sweet lamb
Tomorrow I return to Dr. LePew, my French-speaking gynecological oncologist for a 6 month check-down. Hopefully there's no sign of cancer. I do not feel cancery though that's the bummer about cancer. You usually don't feel cancery until it's too late. That's when you finally feel cancery.







I've taken Bella on two walks so far this morning. Due to a lack of spring weather we're under the constant threat of sprinkles, the ground is always wet. Bella's belly gets soaked - good thing she has a double fur-coat. First thing this morning my sister petted Bella and declared "She's all wet!" I said, "Well, we went on a walk!" She said, "Where? Niagara Falls?" You probably had to be there.


During our walk Bella feasted on deer poop and part of a dead lizard. She ran away from me with the lizard dangling out of her mouth. When I got close to her, I could hear crunching sounds. She wanted to gobble the lizard before I could get it away from her. Eventually I can stop buying dog food altogether. Who knows? Maybe deer poo and lizard are part of a real diet. They're part of Bella's.

That photo at the bottom is very pretty. It would be perfect for garden tuesday.

Okay, well, reading your post has made me lose my appetite, which is great for weight loss. Keep it up, you may be able to market this.

(Does this mean you will make a snack box stash for Bella filled with dear poo and lizard jerky?)

Gina,
I don't think Bella will leave any deer poo and lizard for a snack box. I'll have to make my own and put it in the box. Or leave her at work while i go on my walk first. ;-)

Hope Dr. LePew whispers nothing but sweet nothings to you, with all signs clear. You HAVE been taking the "cure," right? You should be fine then. :)

It's so funny how dogs KNOW when you are going to take their tasty treasure away from them...how they can be so cute and disgusting at the same time is incredible. Although the same could be said for babies - puking, pooping creatures...but still, so cute.

Bella seems to be in the paleo school when it comes to her diet. Looks good on her too!

That's appt's going to be just fine. :) And Scarlette has eaten much, MUCH worse. ;)

good luck for the beastly appointment. I think you should take Bella. She can then bite people who are irritating at the hospital? Andon the way there and back.

Lizard? Delicious!!
