Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. I am sorry about missing last week. We were back on the struggle bus with Olly, after initial improvement on his medications he started back sliding a bit. So I was entirely focused on him and his care, in the end that extra time was invaluable to me because at 5am on Saturday morning it became clear it was in fact likely cancer and he was now struggling. I’ll never let that be a long term thing, so we went to the ER vet again after calling them and telling them it was time.

We let him go surrounded by love and cuddles, lots of tears and and a small bit of laughter as well. I know that seems odd, but my sweet old man could not help but give me that last little laugh with him. When they took him to place his catheter for his medication he was as always a perfect gentleman and he was when they brought him back as well, but even in his weakened state he HAD to be with MAMA and he HAD to tell them he was not overly pleased they had taken him away from his Mama for a whole 10 minutes. He tried to army crawl off the stretcher before they even got it lowered so he could get to me. It made us all laugh a little, even the staff who cried a little too. Everyone who he ever met just instantly loved him. That was my big sweet boy. I have no doubt his sassy sister was there to greet him when he crossed. 2024 can kick rocks though.

“The wacky thing about those bad guys is that you can’t count on them to be obvious. They forget to wax their mustaches and goatees, leave their horns at home, send their black hats to the dry cleaner’s. They’re funny like that.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Had a little scare yesterday with Olly, panting a lot and not really walking well. Thankfully the ER vet saw us right away and she suspected a disc injury. Could also be cancer in the long run because of his age and size (he is 10 and a mastiff mix). She was leaning into disc for this issue though. We didn’t want to put him through an MRI and she said she totally understood that. So he is on some steroids and muscle relaxers for now and a strict no exercise regime for then next 2 weeks. Which he is fine with because he basically just wants to potty, eat, drink and nap right now. Having senior pets is a joy and also gives you a run for your money.

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Olly was a perfect gentleman for the overnight last week. Abuela warmed up a little and even sat with him for a good part of the day. We will be going again in a couple weeks for a few days. He is going have fun, me and Abuela mom might be shipping them a little bit, HAHA.

“Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters. It’s like anything else. You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice.”

Constructive anger,” the demon said, her voice dripping sarcasm.

Also known as passion,” I said quietly. “Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed prisoners and slaves. Passion has brought justice where there was savagery. Passion has created freedom where there was nothing but fear. Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their horrible lives and build something better, stronger, more beautiful.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Olly was of course the very best boy last week and Abuela while not totally sure about him (she is small and he is much larger then she is) was fine with him. The one little bit she snarked at him he made himself as small as could be and just quietly looked at her. So he is coming with me to the one night sit this week and he will be coming with on all future sits. Yay! I think he and Abuela will make very fast friends, she was a street dog in South America so she just needs time to see he won’t bully her at all. My bday is this Saturday as well, which is double fun since its also Kentucky Derby day this year.

“I checked the icebox. The faeries usually brought some sort of food to stock the icebox and the pantry when they cleaned, but they could have mighty odd ideas about what constituted a healthy diet. One time I’d opened the pantry and found nothing but boxes and boxes and boxes of Fruit Loops. I had a near-miss with diabetes, and Thomas, who was never quite sure where the food had come from, declared that I had clearly been driven Fruit Loopy.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Another week another bit of stress, nothing to bad. My Poor Olly boy had a bit of an upset tummy, but he is fine now. Vet couldn’t say a reason why he had the upset but bland diet and some antibiotics and he’s back to himself. Which is good he has a meeting with my little friend Abuela this week, so hopefully (I know he will be best boy) he can come on sits with me from now on.

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. Sorry I missed last week, fibro fog got me and I just blanked. Last week was a little stressful with some schedule changes because the landlord was coming and yeah fun times. LOL I don’t like people in my space that I don’t know and I always feel landlord’s are judgy about how you decorate and stuff. I am sure that is just my intrusive thoughts but I can’t help feeling that. We haven’t damaged a thing, just have two very ND folks and all the decor that goes with it. LOL

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. The raincoat and prance have been out the last several days. Downside is we haven’t been doing our usual walk route and Olly has been a little unsure about that. I drive us a few blocks away because they just put down some of that oily stuff before they repave and I don’t want to risk any sticking to his paws. Also had to get a new phone this week becauseI managed to break the camera on my old one and I need that camera for work. my photos were looking like I took them on a potato LOL. Sticking with my Dresden re-read because its comforting. I am sure I will get to something new at some point this year.

“Screw up my life?” He stared at me for a second and then said, deadpan, “I’m a five-foot-three, thirty-seven-year-old, single, Jewish medical examiner who needs to pick up his lederhosen from the dry cleaners so that he can play in a one-man polka band at Oktoberfest tomorrow.” He pushed up his glasses with his forefinger, folded his arms, and said, “Do your worst.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads. All is right in Olly’s world again since Mom is home. His new raincoat arrived in the mail today as well and it is adorable it is blue with ducks on it. LOL. It does not rain often here but when it does we shall be prepared. I always thought Olly disliked the rain as much as his sister Diva so we didn’t do walks on rainy days. Turns out he was choosing to not go to stay with his sister who absolutely hated the rain (yet she loved to swim lol), Olly does not mind getting his paws wet but doesn’t like the rest of him wet, so raincoat!

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! As always I hope I find you well this Tuesday and enjoying your reads.Oh I love Abuela and sitting for her, but boy do I miss being home with my Olly. I do go home for several hours a day and do his walk and dinner etc, but it is not the same. He is doing okay, he is sad but he is doing ok. Roomie is with him. Very much looking forward to him being able to come with me from now on. Or at least until we adopt a new sibling for him to have at home with him. I have no idea when that will be (I am not ready), but I know it will happen. I am that person.
