A Sense of Doubt blog post #4161 - Letter to Dad #43 - Photos By Year of Satchel, Her Booness

Hi Big Guy, Someone at the vet (North County Animal Hospital) asked to see baby pictures of Satchel.
So I decided to make a select photo gallery by year.

I am concerned that Satchel has congestive heart failure.

Her 14th birthday is next Friday (the 17th).

Here we go...

I love you. More next week, dad.

- Days ago: MOM = 4025 days ago & DAD = 679 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I post Hey Mom blog entries on special occasions. I post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day, and now I have a second count for Days since my Dad died on August 28, 2024. I am now in the same time zone as Google! So, when I post at 10:10 a.m. PDT to coincide with the time of Mom's death, I am now actually posting late, so it's really 1:10 p.m. EDT. But I will continue to use the time stamp of 10:10 a.m. to remember the time of her death and sometimes 13:40 EDT for the time of Dad's death. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
