Bartok, one of our feline housemates, is named after the famous 20th century Hungarian composer and pianist, Béla Bartok.  It’s no secret that we’re all getting older, and Bartok is an impressive 15-years-old!  Recently, he spent some time at the veterinarian’s having a bunch of tests, just to be sure that he’s in tip-top condition.

Uncle Carlos came by the other day the other day because he had some errands to run for Martha.  Of course, we Frenchies, went with him.  One of our stops was the veterinarian, where Francesca had an appointment scheduled and prescriptions to pick up.

I must have done something to irritate my eye because it’s all sore and runny.  The doctor gave me some eye drops, but they don’t seem to be helping the situation.  I think I need a different medication.

After an exciting time of touring around Newport, Rhode Island, we dogs finally made it to the place where Martha was visiting.  It’s where our friend, Lilly, lives – a lovely and grand house with a sprawling green lawn overlooking the beautiful ocean.
