Speedy September

Does anybody else feel that September is flying?

With some September rain predictions, unusually early in San Francisco, I guess it does already feel like October but seriously this month has been a blur. I mean, I feel like I’m looking up from my desk and September 20th is Monday.

Perhaps this is a positive sign. Life as we know it continues to change around us and we try to catch up with and adjust to it: vaccine cards, COVID tests, masks, etc. If the days are going quickly maybe psychologically we’re expecting change and are more ready to roll with it. However, it could also mean we’re busier than usual and there is more stuff on your plate to juggle.

Luna started limping again last week. Her hind left leg. This strain is not a new thing as she had a similar injury several months ago. Then, the Vet gave us pain and anti-inflammatory meds and it subsided. It’s back and X-Rays are saying operate. She’s got a tear in there. We’ve got her on meds until the procedure on Friday.

She’s in real good hands. We like our Vets and so does Luna. They’ve already done her right knee a few years prior and that worked out great. Currently, the doggie drugs are helping and she’s not even limping.

I really can’t forget her grogginess with the last operation. I had to carry a 65 pound pit bull up the stairs carefully. She stood halfway in the foyer and living room staring ahead, unmoving for the longest time as if in a trance. It took her a bit to shake off those meds.

Hopefully that’s the last big operation Luna will have to deal with but with dogs there are no guarantees. We want to keep her happy and healthy. She is a sweet thing.
