Scarlett (3/4/2006 – 2/7/2016)

My sweet Scarlett left this earth on Sunday, February 7th. Following our afternoon walk, she seemed as though she was feeling poorly. She declined rapidly. Forty-five minutes after leaving with her to go to the emergency vet, we came home without her. I still can’t get over the shock. For My Scarlett: We brought Scarlett…

We Have a Gate (5-31-15)

We Have a Gate (5-31-15) It’s been on our list for awhile now, but we finally got it done!  On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, JR and I put up our gate across the driveway!  We got the supplies on our trip to Billings last weekend.  We combined a supply run with date night and saw…

Just in Case You Were Wondering…(June 2015)

Just in Case You Were Wondering…(June 2015) Just in case you were wondering, we don’t let Scarlett drive.  The local pharmacy seems to be concerned about it: Scarlett has been on these pills since her surgery back in February.  I just noticed the pill bottle says “May cause drowsiness.  Alcohol may intensify this effect.  Use…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! (3-17-2015)

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! (3-17-2015) Ah, adventures in picture-taking with Scarlett. A couple interesting things have happened around here.  Winter Carnival was last weekend.  Red Lodge was taken over by out-of-towners.  We went to town Saturday night for dinner and did not recognize one person!  Great for the local economy but sheesh!  Give us our…

A Birthday and an Anniversary (3-4-2015)

A Birthday and an Anniversary (3-4-2015) Today is this sweet little girl’s ninth birthday: Today is also the second anniversary of the “final” move to Montana.  I still think it was the best birthday present we could have ever given Scarlett!  Both of us are pretty happy girls. Scarlett is hanging in for us.  We are…

Round Bale and an Update (2-23-15)

Round Bale and an Update (2-23-15) I don’t know what it is with Scarlett and Sundays, but she had a major episode last night.  JR and I tried to help her as best we could, but we felt helpless and two vets didn’t have much to suggest either.  The good news is that Scarlett’s biopsies…

Flashback (Fall 2014)

Flashback (Fall 2014) I was looking through pictures on my phone to try and distract me on the day of Scarlett’s surgery.  That didn’t really help since 90% of my pictures are of Scarlett!  But, I saw some we haven’t shared.  This was right before our first snow of the winter.  It was a beautiful…

The Not-So-Patient Patient (2-19-2015)

The Not-So-Patient Patient (2-19-2015) I brought Scarlett home Thursday night.  This is how messed up my brain has been:  I was supposed to pick her up at 5:30.  It takes an absolute maximum of 1.5 hours to get to Billings on a blue sky day like yesterday.  I left our house at 3pm.  Do the…
