You’re not going to believe this. I spoke way too soon in my last post when I told you how well Cruella was doing. Later that same night I had to take her to the Pet ER - again! It wasn’t the Addison’s Disease or any of her other ongoing afflictions. It was all Molly’s [...]
One Tough Dog
The past couple of weeks have been extremely difficult for Cruella. It was just two weeks ago today that she had a mass measuring 4 cm x 6 cm removed from her abdomen. During the surgery, she was diagnosed with Megacolon, a condition characterized by enlargement of the colon due to its inability [...]
Yes, I’m Still Single - for Now!
In past years, I spent a lot of time in the online dating scene. I just didn’t trust the guys hanging out in bars, and I couldn’t seem to find any other avenues for meeting nice, respectable men. Being the nerd I am, online dating was perfect. I was able to sit [...]
A Memorable Halloween
As my favorite holiday quickly approaches, I can’t help but reminisce of Halloweens gone by. One particular Halloween stands out among all the others. It was 2001, and I had been invited to a coworker’s party. She had a huge spread of land in the country, and the decorations were amazing. [...]
ChattieKat, DVM
A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that Cruella was squinting her left eye. I looked closely at it a number of times but never could see anything. When I took her to UT for surgery last week, I mentioned it to them. They looked at it, couldn’t see anything wrong, and [...]
Mr. Rickman’s High School Chemistry Class
I may not look like your typical nerd, but I’m a big one – always have been! I’ve lightened up a little in my old age, but you should have seen me back in high school. I had no social life to speak of. I was in an advanced placement curriculum, went [...]

Miss Cruella’s Colon Cleanse
Cruella came home yesterday morning. Her incision is huge, stretching the entire length of her abdomen. She was in a lot of pain, as her Addison’s Disease prevented the doctors from prescribing a strong pain medication. She spent the majority of the day resting. I am happy to say that she [...]
Overheard at the Vet’s Office #4
While waiting to pick Cruella up at UT today, I overheard a client talking to a doctor.
“He has terrible gas. I hope you won’t have to experience it.”
I tuned the rest of the conversation out.
A Sigh of Relief
I spent the majority of the day at UT Vet Hospital. I’m both physically and emotionally drained, but I do have good news to share! Cruella’s surgery went exceptionally well. When the doctors opened her up, they discovered that the mass was smaller than originally thought. It was very quick and easy to remove, and [...]
