Island Dog

Good morning and welcome to the start of a new week!  As for me today, sigh.  Angel is beset with some mysterious malady on her back toes.  Although seemingly not in pain, she is clearly in discomfort – practically licking her foot off and pulling out the hair with her teeth.  My home remedy attempts aren’t helping, so it’s time to consult the professionals.  But, of course, no veterinarians practice on the island, and I don’t want to travel to Nassau just to see a vet there.  For urgent cases, people can make a general call on the VHF radio to see if they’re lucky enough to find a vacationing or retired vet cruising through on a passing boat, but it hasn’t come to that for us.   Nope, looks like we’ll visit Angel’s vet in Florida; I was due for a Stateside visit anyway.

With all of this going on, I decided to remind Angel (and me) about how much she usually loves island life, despite this little setback, and focus a blog entry on her escapades.  However, a little blog entry just doesn’t seem enough for Angel’s giant personality.  Thus (see, the lawyer in me is not completely obliterated – who says “thus” in real life?!), I’ve created an entire page devoted to my Island Dog.  Enjoy!
