My poor puppies. They have been so bored lately…only getting into trouble inside my head instead of on paper.
It’s my fault the puppies are so bored. I ended up getting Lyme disease again, and it totally wrecked my summer. I was surprised to find out I had it because my symptoms didn’t match the warning signs you are supposed to watch out for. Plus, the blasted tick was only on me for a few minutes. My understanding was that you couldn’t catch the disease in that short of a period of time. Well, it looks like you can if you’re immunocompromised.
When the doctor told me she thought I had Lyme, I said I was surprised. I told her this didn’t feel anything like it did the last time. She asked what it felt like last time. When I told her, her eyes got big, and she looked noticeably taken aback. “Wow,” she said, “you had a really bad case last time.” (Ha! I knew it. I knew I was sick even if no one wanted to take me seriously!)
I’ve been taking medication for the past several weeks, but I still have a bit to go. These antibiotics are so hard on me I feel like I might not make it to the end of the treatment. If you don’t hear from us for a while, it’s because the boys are keeping me company while I whine to them about how lousy I feel.
Better you than me!
You’re right, little puppy. Much better me than you.

A good way to spend hot summer days is indoors reading Dream Our World! (Plus, proceeds help Murphy’s Biscuit Fund.)
Inside, Geordie and Toby view the world of art from a canine perspective while enjoying a day of unsupervised fun. There are a lot of hidden gems inside Dream Our World, and it is a joy for all ages. Treat yourself to a summer read that is both fun and educational!
Dream Our World, and other fine gifts, are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

Thank you for the good wishes…and for the cheese to go with that whine! 😂
🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 You just take it easy. Murphy, you be the Big Boy and take care of mommy!
Taking care of mommy….that means making her feed me every hour on the hour, right? 🐶
Close… It really means barking Fank Yew if she manages to remember your din din! And wagging your tail.
I usually burp my thank yous! 😂
I bet your mommy lub dat! ~Toffee
It makes her laugh. 😂
good golly, you need to be wrapped in bubble wrap! This sucks big time for you and the pups. Mannnnn……………I want to send you chicken soup or something
Thank you! I’ve been hungry for chicken soup. 🍜
(I just don’t have anymore fight left in me…. 😪)
I know how that feels. So tired of fighting. Sometimes you just have to take a break, throw yourself a pity party, cry all day and maybe tomorrow be ready to battle on
What rotten luck to be struck down by Lyme again. No wonder you feel dreadful. Best wishes for a recovery as slogging through it is such hard going.
Thanks! Treatment is supposed to be done this week, but the joint pain has returned. I’m not sure what that’s going to mean… 🙄
The Terrier and I really hope you feel better soon. Take care of yourself, accept all the care offered to you and chin up(!), autumn is a much nicer time of year than summer is anyway, and you’ll be up and around by then!

I am definitely looking forward to autumn! Apples and cinnamon can’t come fast enough. 😂
Antibiotics suck! You can whine at me anytime you need.
😂. I might just take you up on that! 😂
You aren’t as sick a you once were has totally replaced you are cured
Sadly true! 🤣
