For the ICU Nurses Soul: This lovely arrangement (complete with mylar balloons) just arrived in the ICU – the head nurse brought it to our room reminding us that there are no flowers allowed in the ICU.Â I nodded, but I had already seen the envelope as she handed the flowers to me. Never to…

House of Muppets

Dare I say it, so far Klaus is having a good day today.Â He is on a lot less medication than before, and he has opened his eyes a few times.Â I’m only sitting a few feet away from him, so whenever he does that I throw down the laptop and run over to try…

Oops I Did it Again

Oops, I Did it Again… Slipped into the ICU… And licked daddy’s hand… Oh baby, baby… Ah yes, your eyes do not deceive you.Â Bogart made a return engagement to the ICU this evening for some much-needed thairepy.Â And this time he was even more affectionate toward Klaus than the last. Marge, one of the…

My Beautiful Ballooooooooooooon

Yes, I’d like to fly… far away from all the sadness.Â My pals, the reigning rulers of the Republic of Gooberstan, obviously knew this and wanted to help. Today I took my evening break a little early.Â The weather was so nice, and Klaus was in good hands.Â Bogart and I had a lovely walkie…

Hangin’ in the SE

It’s SUNNY today in Portland – in February – so that means that we HAVE to get out and go for a walk… Mt. Tabor it is! Come on dad, you’re walking waaaay too slow for my taste.Â I haven’t been here in awhile now, I have to reacquaint myself with all of the smells……

Go Go Goaties, Watch Them Go Go Go

Hey…. Goats!!!Â Goatie-Goatie-Goaties!!!Â Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-Go-Goats!!! There they are! And the horses too!Â We had some extra rice left over from a batch of gumbo that dad made… and it had formed into a sort of rice-cake.Â So we cut it up into wedges, and… Both of the horses seemed to enjoy it, as did the nubian…
