Weird Wrinkled Egg

Kind of an odd post I know, but I wanted to share this bizarre egg I gathered last night. Weird and wrinkled, it's very large, about 2x3" and you can see it compared to the others I gathered at the same time. No, it has not been altered, and no I didn't do any science experiments by keeping this egg in vinegar for several days, this is the real deal.

I'm currently looking for some reasons and it looks to be some sort of bronchial thing so far. Still researching, but in the meantime...sort of like the twilight zone!

Wow...to lose a companion, friend...



Nicki and Cheyenne at Ship Wreck Point

I know I have a lot of dogs. I do love them all...but my Nicki, my sweet Nicki was my angel girl. That special pound dog. That dog that is so much more than just a dog. She is a companion, truly my best friend. An angel. Pet? No, family member. She was everything we could ever love and hope for.

My sweet Nicki girl had a stroke last Saturday night. And the once proud and independent girl (who marked with the best of the boys) was brought down to being full of embarrassment and humiliation. Poor sweet girl. She didn't realize I didn't mind cleaning up after her. She didn't realize I would try to help her outside. Nope, she insisted on trying to do it herself. She couldn't.

Strokes are horrific for both people and animals.

Miss Nicki was going to be 15 years old on May 2nd.

You know what I keep seeing? That sweet dog running toward me in her fun wiggly way when she was full of life and playing at the beach at mach II. Big smile on her face as she whizzed by with an air of "catch me if you can"

I love my sweet Nicki girl...I will always miss you baby.
