The first post of the YuKi Chronicles....

Not sure where this is going to go but I want to share my experience with my Mom's dog. Please, do not let her know that I think she is a dog as my Mom refers to YuKi as my little sister. It is interesting to have a parent who loves animals more than most humans. I have decided to spell YuKi's name this way to showcase her initials. Yuki Kleinman!

August 25, 2010....
The mover's are at the house in San Diego to pack up over fifty years of marriage. Dad passed away in April and Mom & YuKi have been at the house for the last few months. The house has sold and I am there to help expedite this move. This is the sixth move that I have been involved with in the last year and a half and I am glad that Mom will be closer to her family!

Back to the mover's....

Mom and I set the things she wanted to take with her to UTah on the kitchen table. All of YuKi's medication (more on that later...) bowls, distilled water for her drinking, etc.
Mom realizes that the silver colored bowl has inadvertently been packed! She was upset, as all dog owners would be, I suppose. I tried to help her realize that it was not that big of a deal and that I could run to the dollar store and pick up a new bowl for the YuKster... Mom in a very stern voice tells me in no uncertain terms, "YuKi will not be eating out of a dollar store bowl!"

So there you have it.... I think I will end it for today. I do not have a problem eating out of a dollar store bowl and I must assume that YuKi would not either or maybe she would....
