Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Vacation


Baileys Harbor, Door County, Wisconsin

With apologies to Judith Viorst, Alexander is not the only one who has bad days.  Our drive to Door County from St. Paul was relentless rain, which has not stopped.  Worse is that our 13-year-old-dog, Maggi who is with us, is very sick.  We visited a wonderful vet clinic in Green Bay that communicated with Maggi's regular vet at the U of Mn; it's determined that she has kidney failure.
The autumn leaves are at its peak but Maggi's autumn years are about to end.  We will leave for home early.  My break has been short-lived!

  10. How sad. Brings memories of my Chesapeake Retriever Muffy who had a similar problem at age nine. The weather here in Bluff County (S.E. MN.) has been gorgeous the last few days and the leaves are at their peak color...:)

  18. Sorry to hear about Maggi. Having a sick pet facing his/her twilight is very difficult. I hope you're able to make her comfortable during this time.

  20. Sorry to read that Maggi is not well. That's the hard part of having pets, and the reason why I don't have any more dogs.
