Doctor Who is filming part of its new series in South Africa this week ! ! ! ! :)
Normally here in my neck of the woods, I can binge watch Star Trek on BBC America, but last week day and night all they had on was Dr. Who. They must've started at the beginning and showed every single episode. Day and night for over a week! Pahleeze! I want my Star Trek!

I had my colon removed due to Crohn's disease. It was falling apart and killing me. After that i was put of a biologic drug. It lowered my immune response. I tried again when a kitten showed up at my house but unfortunately the allergy remained. Even if i go into a shelter with cats for a little while my head will blow up and my eyes will swell.
Nasty. I have two friends with Crohn's. My "bestie" has been told she'll have to have a colostomy bag if she has to have surgery again :(

A big stone is fallen from my heart...
One of my old dogs wasn`t in good health the last 14 days and I feared that I must let euthanize her, but the VET was just there and said that the old dog lady has some healthy problems but not so urgent that she ( the VET ) would euthanize her. I am really glad, because my old dog has a slow growing cancer in her tummy for years. I have had fear that the cancer makes problems and pain but the VET said my old dog has problems with her hips and I should give her anti-pain meds ( what I will surely do )
My old dog is 13 years old. They are like "children" when you have them so long. Here she is. Her name is Bonnie.

A good steak tartare is delicious! example recipe

I have never been attracted to raw liver, but it's not an uncommon craving with pregnant women.

Oh sorry to hear that Sabine. It is so tough to lose an old friend even when you know you're doing the right thing :(

Big electronic hug from me

Bonnie is the kind of doggie I've always had a hankerin' for. When I was but a wee child, we had one like her whose name was Rags. Lovely dogs. Glad to hear Bonnie will be with you for some time yet. So hard to lose them.
Thank you Yvonne. Bonnie is a mix from Giant Schnauzer, Bernese Mountain Dog and German Shephard. Maybe a little bit of Husky too.
She is a big lovely dog. It is really hard to loose them `cause they are a part of the family.

A few months ago I thought I was having arthritis in one of my hips. But after about 3 months the pain went away. So it must've been something else. My fingers feel "rusty" first thing in the a.m. when it's cold in here, but other than that, this old body is in pretty good shape.
And i'm very delighted to hear it! :):<3:
