Use the Good Stuff 

June 29, 2016July 25, 2016 Michelle MaskalyLeave a comment

When I was the editor of Pet Age magazine a boutique dog bed company sent me one of their beds. It was a very big and expensive bed. Toby, who previously showed no interest in dog beds, fell in love with it. But, since he used to chew fabric, we would only take it out… Continue reading Use the Good Stuff

Maddux’s 2nd Birthday 

June 28, 2016 Michelle MaskalyLeave a comment

We celebrated Maddux’s 2nd birthday yesterday with pupcakes and lots of snuggles. I have two thoughts about his birthday. He’s only two? It feels like I’ve had him for years. And, oh my gosh it’s been two years already, where has time gone? Completely different thought, I know, but that’s how my brain works. He’s… Continue reading Maddux’s 2nd Birthday

The Battle for the Dog Sling

June 27, 2016July 25, 2016 Michelle MaskalyLeave a comment

Eight years! Eight years I’ve been trying to get this dog to use a sling or backpack because of his bad knees. Now, all of a sudden, he has decided this sling – which I bought for Maddux, when he hurt his foot – he loves. And, I mean loves. Last week when I first… Continue reading The Battle for the Dog Sling

Four Chemo Treatments Down, One to Go

June 25, 2016June 25, 2016 Michelle MaskalyLeave a comment

“You couldn’t ask for anything more from a lymphoma dog.” That’s what Toby’s oncologist had to say during today’s visit. It was his fourth treatment and the doctor could not be more please with the way Toby is responding. His lymphnodes are down, his blood counts are great and he even gained a pound, which… Continue reading Four Chemo Treatments Down, One to Go

Chalk Art 

June 22, 2016 Michelle Maskaly1 Comment

Last time I was going through a tough time, I went to a paint-and-sip event at my local studio. I created my most favorite piece of art. Considering I had just gotten laid off, I didn’t think it was a smart idea to spend money on a session, so, I found some chalk in my… Continue reading Chalk Art

Mornings With Maddux: Nature Preserve

June 9, 2016June 9, 2016 Michelle MaskalyLeave a comment

They built a new nature preserve within walking distance of me. In fact, we pass it on our daily walks. But up until recently, there was always barriers across.  I had walked through previously, but it was Maddux’s first time, and it was slightly hilarious.     When my aunt came to visit, she immediately noticed… Continue reading Mornings With Maddux: Nature Preserve

Toby Gets What Toby Wants

June 5, 2016July 25, 2016 Michelle MaskalyLeave a comment

Toby’s third chemo treatment is in the books! We are more than halfway through his treatments and the doctor could not be more pleased. The oncologist said all of his lymph nodes were normal, as was his blood counts, and he couldn’t ask for anything more at this point. Yay! I’m being cautiously optimistic, but… Continue reading Toby Gets What Toby Wants

It All Feels So Normal, But It’s Not

June 1, 2016June 1, 2016 Michelle MaskalyLeave a comment

The past month has been a roller coaster of emotions. Actually, 2016 as a whole has been like that. I noticed Toby’s swollen neck April 18, and he was diagnosed April 22. I’ve been trying to write weekly updates about our life, but last week – Week 5 – got a little derailed. Friday morning,… Continue reading It All Feels So Normal, But It’s Not
