turmeric

It's been a while since I blogged. Life has been ambling along okay, with Penny having to deal with some arthritis, a leg that has a torn cruciate ligament and some skin issues, but basically she is happy and enjoying life.

I thought I'd do a post today to tell about our experiment with turmeric. A local shop has opened, run by a naturopath for dogs, and we've been keen to try feeding Penny a raw diet, as she used to have. The other thing that was suggested by the naturopath is that we try turmeric for her increasing number (and size) of lipomas. One of them is rather big and in a place where it might need surgery, which at Penny's age would be a very unpleasant option.

The turmeric we are feeding her is in the form of Golden Paste. We were supposed to start with a small dose, to see how she reacts to it, but we forgot that instruction and started straight away with the recommended dose of 3/4 teaspoon per five kilos of weight.

So far so good.
The good  thing is that this medication should help with her allergies and her arthritic also.

Image generator fun

I've never heard of online image generators before, so it was great fun to go and play with FotoTrix. Here's my photo with speech balloon. 

I chose the link that has a picture of a baby and says 'Make comics'. 

I ended up with two speech balloons on top of each other. I couldn't see any way to fix this problem and finally had to close my browser, Safari, and open up Firefox. 

If I understood the site correctly, they host the photo for a few hours. I think if I had been patient and gone back in a few hours, my messed-up photo would have been gone and I could have started all over again. Not sure, though.

I then right-clicked the photo to download it to my desktop and then used Blogger's photo icon on the bar above to include it here.
