A Chill in the Air
Dr. Husband started a new rotation with a 14-hour on-call shift Friday evening. Then another Saturday evening. And the 14- to 15-hour shifts (both day and night) will continue for over a month. We knew this rotation was coming, but it’s still pretty lousy. Anyhow, since Ivan is a first-year resident (also known as an […]

Babe, It’s Cold Outside
It’s mid-January and winter finally found Brooklyn. Today I woke up and glanced at the weather app. It was 17 degrees. Brrr! Though, it did warm up to a balmy 28 degrees today. With the wind, the “feels like” gauge read 18 degrees. Ugh… I knew it was coming, but I’m never prepared for these […]

Babe Got a New Dog Costume: Lion Mane
Dog costumes are nothing new in our house, but this one really stood out among the others. The lion’s mane was a huge hit for us and we have photos to prove it.

Puppy Rumpus Time Every Day!
The dogs like to tear apart our bedroom every day, playing and tumbling. But I don’t mind, because Babe has a best friend again!

This is Babe. And This is Babe on Benzodiazepines.
Babe’s anxiety is treated with Xanax. Unfortunately that just sedates her. It doesn’t get rid of her fears.
