On Dogs and Golf...

Not long ago, my dad and I got together for a game of golf.

We had a swell time, and of course chatted about family and our beloved black lab, Riley.


 

Particularly, the Riley Dog's love for squirrels and her mission to capture them.

Somehow, this golfcourse conversation derailed into the pros and cons of having dogs out there on the golf course and how it'd be GREAT to teach them to carry our clubs... Or drive the cart for us.


And so, this came about...





Thanks to the very talented cartoonist Jerry King (who also does some great drawing over at DiabetesMine!), since he took some of his own time to draw up my imaginary golf course scenario for a favor... Much appreciated!!

This story reminds me of my dad. I actually plan on getting him a little something for his birthday so I'm checking out golf pants for men. It's one hobby that we enjoy both considering that I am an only child and daughter.

Dogs will really feel the love of their owner when they are doing things together like what you and your cute dogs just did. It's really important to let your dog feel that you do care for them. Actually, one way of showing that is by keeping their home clean with that you could ask pooper scooper Chicago cause they specializes on that.

What more if they are staying in a dog boarding long island? They got this tendency to be more active when they see a lot of like them around. I wonder if it has something to do with mating.

I haven’t seen any dog that can carry caddy without playing with it. I rather buy dog grooming supplies wholesale and take care of my dog.

I heard that having a pet would help its owner to relieve their everyday stress. I even know a physician who is recommending to have a pet of their own to help them recover fast.

Why We Need Diabetes Awareness Month... More Than Ever

Image
Hello again, Diabetes Awareness Month. Yup, November marks another national awareness month -- aimed at those in America who are pancreatically-challenged or rapidly heading in that direction. And on Nov. 14, we'll once again mark international World Diabetes Day honoring the birthday of insulin co-discoverer Dr. Frederick Banting, who was born on this day in 1891. As always during this time of year, we've been inundated with marketing pitches from organizations big and small. And as always around this time of year, many in our community ponder the perennial question: Does it all matter? Really? Admittedly, it's not outside the realm of reasonableness to question the effectiveness of NDAM (shorthand for National Diabetes Awareness Month). But our country is in a different place in 2017 compared to past years, is it not? It's a good time to set skepticism aside to argue that November's designation as Diabetes Awareness Month truly does matte

Flapping the Gums

No time for my chatty-typing fingers to engage you today. I'm off to the dentist's office for a dreaded appointment. Thanks to the wonders of D-enduced periodontal disease, this should be a visit full of poking, prodding, pain, and likely some bleeding. Great times. Not looking forward to this visit. Or the next more painful one. I see soup in my future. Maybe Easy Mac. But, I digress. That's all fodder for a future blog post. In the meantime today, talk amongst yourselves. Flap those online gums in the blogging world. And remember to brush and floss.

Welcome to the End of the World?

Well, did anyone think this is what 2020 would look like? Global pandemic and worldwide public health emergency, everything shutting down and a potential economic collapse on the horizon. Holy fuck. ' A "Pandemic (in Quarantine) Playlist on my Spotify is now a thing, and my own remote worklife now in its 8th year has taken on an eeerie new spin. As are my watchlists full of dystopian and post-apocalyptic TVs and movies for streaming in these strange times. All of my work travel and conferences for the spring have been nixed, and we're all watching closely to see what the impact may be for summer events. What about my "underlying health condition" that is type 1 diabetes? So far, so good. No signs of anything astray. As I've shared over on DiabetesMine, I have been using the Tandem t:slim X2 device since mid-October 2019. That followed three-and-a-half years of Multiple Daily Dosing with pens and Afrezza inhaled insulin insulin. I starte
