My dog, Mona, has learned 12 words/phrases so she can communicate with Fluent Pet programmable buttons. Her current buttons say: food, water, good morning, outside, go car, Momma, Delia, mail’s here, bedtime, blanket (which means she wants cuddles), Alexa lights on, and Alexa play Enya. Dog genius. This weekend when storms were moving through, she kept going over to say “water” “outside”, “water” “outside”, alternating between the buttons very deliberately. -
Every month, Mom and I go through our electronic subscriptions to see what we don’t use anymore. Today, we quit Audible, Starz, iTunes Match, BritBox, and AMC+. We also switched our Disney+/Hulu to the ad version, and bundled Apple News and Apple Fitness along with our other Apple One subscriptions to save $3 a month since we were paying for those separately before. Amazon Prime, Netflix, and HBO Max got a reprieve. Both of us feel great satisfaction each time we reevaluate these subscriptions.
Mona saw the university’s orthopedic vet today. She has moderate bowing of her front legs. On a scale of 1-10, she's at 3 on her right front leg and a 4 on the left. Enough to cause some discomfort, but not enough to warrant surgery at this point. For six months, we’re going to track her bad days. In the meantime, she's to lose 2-3 pounds (no more beggin strips 🙈🙉🙊) and give her doggie ibuprofen. Then we can revisit it. Surgery is likely not necessary. He said she is otherwise very healthy. 🎉
