It's Been A While

I realize it has been almost two months since my last blog post. It was just a few days ago I almost deleted the blog completely and having a recent backup I could have deleted then rebuilt it later if I wanted. So why delete it like I have a few times over the 15 years of blogging here and then return? These first few photos were taken early this morning right after I let the hounds inside as they run to their bowls of breakfast kibble.

When taking them I had a impulse feeling that I wanted to blog publicly again so where I am.

A Good Heart A Year Later


It would be one year this coming Thursday when I had my aortic valve replaced. By a year ago today I had two unexpected/unplanned procedures ... a pacemaker after my heart block on the operating table and a few days before an LAD that was 98% blocked requiring a stent.

Watson Is In Good Shape

It was a day or two after my last post here that Watson miraculously returned to normal. His tail was upright as he trotted from the bedroom to the patio door to go outside with the rest of the hounds and Ava to start the day while I poured their kibble.
