Ginger

Tuesday, 3:30am. I woke up to find my dog Ginger shaking in the corner with vomit, pee and poop around her. I wrapped her in a towel and drove her to the vet. The fog was so thick I had to slow down to 15 mph. After an examination the vet thought it was vestibular disease, a common ailment of older dogs where they lose their sense of balance.

The next day, after x-rays, they found a lump near her bladder and they wanted to operate. However, after observing her overnight they realized that something more serious was wrong, most likely a lesion in the brain. We went down to the hospital and had her put to sleep.

I hadn’t intended for this drawing to be so sad, I was just trying to capture that night as it was. Ginger, I’ll miss you.

Write a Caption

Ok, here’s another drawing sorely in need of a caption. If something springs to mind add it as a comment!

Out With a Cold

Ok, so my secret resolution this year was to keep a visual diary and do a drawing every day from something that happened to me the previous day. I hadn’t counted on getting sick which happened Friday so I’ve already missed a few days (maybe by some miracle I’ll make it up). So here is my entry for yesterday.

It was the day before my birthday and we were going to have some friends over to celebrate how young we still are. I woke up around eleven a.m., brushed teeth, shaved, took a shower, got dressed (put on my Wonder Woman t-shirt I got for my birthday last year) and sat down on the couch. After ten minutes I was back in bed and out for the day. But I did manage to complete Friday’s New York Times crossword puzzle!

Note, my first drawing had me slobbering but my daughter said “Eeeeeeuw”, so I redrew it.
