    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I've had a Medicare Advantage plan for a few years. When we moved up to Vancouver WA, the plan moved with me, but all of our specialists are in Portland OR. I have Health Net by Wellcare. Today, I was browsing Advantage plans in my County here IN WASHINGTON!! Not in Portland. I found an AARP...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    On Wednesday, I noticed that Maverick smelled not so good. It bothered me for a bit. So on a break from the Master Preservers class, I looked at his leg. Swollen, red, smells. Called my regular vet and got an appt to drop him off Friday morning. Of course, neither hubs nor son were available...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I so understand FJ. My friend in Asheville said they were crying wolf again, and now she and her hubs have had to rely on others for food and water. I do think about your comment that it all washed away. Out here, all my deep pantry supplies are in the pseudo basement. What if the house...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    At the Master Preservers class yesterday, we were learning about dehydration and how one can slice, dehydrate and then powder pumpkin. The eating kind. Then you turn the powder into pumpkin pulp by rehydrating and make a pumpkin pie!! Who knew??

    Food prices June 2021

    I've been reading about the pending strike. Not only will it likely affect us as we look for imports to suppy alot of industries, but it will also HURT the export biz for beef, eggs and chicken. Refrigerated containers loaded with American produced protein will not be able to survive too many...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I had to look up Charcot disease. Does he have it in both feet or only one? Does he have disability insurance via his employer? I would guess that this would be long term disability, if its for several months. I was in a wheelchair for three months. Hubs had to modify the exterior stairs...

    Oh they did give me drugs for Maverick. Trazadone is the one to make him subdued. Wonder if I can try one of his pills for me??:lol:

    Maverick has been a good boy. Not licking or bothering the 6" incision. Using the leg most of the time. I gave up on using a towel to get him up and down the four steps to the grass. I had ordered a sling, but I'll return it. The biggest issue from here on will be keeping the puppy from wanting...

    My 2 yr old cattle dog is zonked out. He gets carprofin (sp?), gabapentin and Trazadone. Space Cadet for sure. I'm to use cold and warm compresses on the incision. Wiggle his toes. Begin light stretching. I ordered a sling cus we have three exits at this home and all have stairs. Using a towel...

    from my FB post: Mavee (Maverick) got thru the surgery for his leg. They put in a plate and 7 screws. We pick him up tomorrow (now today) a.m. at 10:30. Below was only two sentences of four pages of instructions. Oh great. Cattle Dog Strong will have to be supressed for the next two months...
