dog at Vet office
Tilly visited Georgetown Veterinary yesterday for evaluation. Modeling her mVet Evercalm garment. She has a 5 inch incision from her xiphoid distal toward her hips. Without this garment she’d be licking and scratching non-stop.

It is remarkable how quickly Matilda bounces back. But meanwhile, consider the present moment fragility of this dog. The invasive nature of the surgery, the healing, the reconnection of tissues that still needs to take place. So, I need to keep a lid on her natural exuberance for the next two weeks. No jumping, no swimming, no running.

I stumbled off the track to success in 1968, started chasing shadows that summer. Since then, In addition to farm-laborer and newspaper photographer my occupational incarnations include dishwasher, janitor, retail photo clerk, plumber, HVAC repairman, auto mechanic, CAT scan technologist, computer worker and politico (whatever it takes to buy a camera.) I am on the road to understanding black and white photography.
