Inktober <pause>?

Inktober <pause>?

I did my best, but I have a permission slip that says I can get out of doing Inktober this year. Time to Bounce... The Inktober inspired sale is still in progress in my ETSY shop - BUMBLEBAT - and with the 25% off, it's been very popular! My brain

The Covid 19 (aka The Covid Diet)

The Covid 19 (aka The Covid Diet)

My goal this month was to find alternative ways to decrease the inflammation in my body (without any "procedures" or shots into my joints). I had been reading books by Mark Hyman, MD - and I will post the sketchnotes I drew on this blog soon. I started with the

They grow up so fast?!

They grow up so fast?!

While every other parent was taking pics of their kids going back to school (my kid is never with me for the first day of school - gotta love a parenting plan written over a decade ago and never updated) - I was teary-eyed over my puppy who is now

Grooming and De-Legoing

Grooming and De-Legoing

This dog is so soft and huggable... Serious Teddy Bear Therapy looks like: me sitting on the bench, trying not to cry - but the Anxiety feels like (that scene from Aliens!) it's crawling under my skin and I want to tear it out. (Aren't you glad I'm not drawing

Puppy Strolling

First, a bit of backstory with minimal relevance to the subject of this actual post... my mom and her family escaped from Estonia when the country was invaded by Russia (creepily similar to what's going on now in Ukraine?). The story is full of exciting adventures and devastating loss and

Dear Diary, despite my attempts, the dog has returned...

Dear Diary, despite my attempts, the dog has returned...

The Kid and I took advantage of our last few days of Vacation (from the puppy). One evening, we drove up to Montshire Museum of Science in Norwich, VT for Members' Night. Food trucks!! We had delicious Munchie-Rollz - like egg rolls but with all kinds of things inside, and

Did I speak too soon?

Did I speak too soon?

"Cheer up," she said. "Things could always be worse." So I cheered up. And sure enough, things got worse. That's the caption for the comic of my life. Seriously - I wrote that positive, happy post yesterday, and started thinking "Hey, maybe it will be OK, right?" The pup had

TeddyBear, Meet TeddyBear!

TeddyBear, Meet TeddyBear!

I'm sure you read the comic I posted a while back GOOD GIRL!... yes? If not, go read it, I'll wait... So, yesterday, Elsa Bear (the newest TeddyBear) got to meet Theodore Bear (the retired TeddyBear)! As you can see in the photo above, both pups look very much like

Sleep Away Camp

Sleep Away Camp

Elsa Bear is away at a week of training camp and I've spent the last few days trying to cram in all the things I can't do when she is here! In truth, it's not her fault I fall so far behind, it's the pain. And all the Doctor stuff.

The Search for the Perfect Toy

The Search for the Perfect Toy

Well... the perfect dog toy - other than ME! Basically, if it dangles... it's a TOY. When she latched on to my sweater, she just stood there on her back legs meditating on how perfectly her teeth fit into the weave of the sweater. Pure Zen. On the right side

Piranha Pup and the Post That Goes Like This

Day 6... My desperate text to the Trainer: I thought we were doing a little better. But Elsa keeps eating everything and licks everything else. Last night we were watching tv and she threw up about a 1/4 cup of unchewed kibble from hours earlier. She was licking the

2/26/23 • Geeky Girl is Getting a New Teddy Bear!

There has been SO much happening, I admit I have been really overwhelmed! There's been some really bad stuff with medical and mental issues and words like "cancer testing", "inflammation", "... indicators", and "more extensive testing..." And the Depression and Anxiety have gotten so bad... well, there are a whole bunch
