Blogging

Shortly after I came out to British Columbia in early 2006 I had a case of severely high blood pressure. It wouldn't have been fair to an employer for me to work for them until I got my health situation sorted out. I was on medications to lower the blood pressure and it took until early 2007 to find the cause. I finally went to a naturopath who found that a microscopic parasite was the cause for all this.

While getting my health in order, I took up blogging to share my photography. This way I wasn't wasting time and others got to enjoy the photos, not just me and those close to me.

In May of this year I had a mini-stroke cause again by severely high blood pressure. I may end up gong to the naturopath again since the specialist and other MDs can't seem to find the cause. This has only been a problem out here. Before that in Ontario, the blood pressure was only marginally high, not severely high like in BC.

Knowledge is good because being forewarned is forearmed!

All that said, enjoy this blog and all the photos I share with you.

Lucy gave birth!

Lucy gave birth to four kittens on May 19th, 2014.  Three of the kittens survived and thrived while the black kitten didn't make it past the first week.  Those that thrived are two males, Ettam and Darcy, and one female, Zoellie! More on all of them later (there are a lot of photos to choose from).  Meantime, enjoy Lucy sitting on a blanket on top of the wardrobe box in the bedroom! ☺ - Volker

In this photo I believe we had just come back from the veterinary hospital in Coquitlam, BC. Lucy had her teeth cleaned and was exhausted from the day's activities.

Of note, Lucy was a different feline after she had her litter of kittens. There was one loss, another that was stillborn [also black] but she did have three kittens that survived and are doing very well!
