Erin’s Tchotchkes – Episode 1
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Erin's Tchotchkes (auto correct really really wants me to say "hopscotch" but alas... the word is TCHOTCHKE)! This show was birthed from the pandemic known as COVID-19. Hopefully someday folks will read this and say, "Huh, I wonder...
Dear Suzanne,
Dear Suzanne, I expected a miracle. I had it all mapped out. I thought I saw it clearly. It was a tale friends would tell friends. How scary it was, but you were so lucky. But life isn't fair sometimes. You were on a journey. Marraige, children, a promotion. You were...
The Duke Diaries – Life Without Duke
Ted The Alarm Clock Today is three months since our Sweet Dukie left us. Ted has really stepped up his game as Alpha. Cecilia, while I believe she could absolutely fill the role, just won't. Ted is the new Alarm Clock - man he makes so much NOISE - and he has no...
All About Cupping Marks
Cupping is one of those modalities that has a lot of mystery surrounding it. For a long time I didn't receive, nor did I use cupping in my practice because I didn't understand it. After venturing into the unknown and receiving cupping for the first time, I was hooked....

Hummus Magic
Ok, here's my story about hummus. I hate beans. Lima beans, refried beans, garbanzo beans, and whatever beans are used for baked beans. Yuck. All of it. Note it's not a flavor issue, it's a texture thing. They are grainy. Like eating sand. I love green beans and I...
The Duke Diaries – Food
Duke, asking about dinner When I woke up this morning I realized it's been a spell since y'all have received an update on Mr. Duke. There's been a nice break from taking him to the vet so frequently; he has blood drawn every three months now and this post brings us...
The Duke Diaries – Month 1
My Sweet Dukie patiently receiving his fluids. It's just over a month and Duke has been such a trooper. He knows the drill for the fluids and we have a little routine down. This routine includes Ted waiting outside the bathroom door, somewhat patiently, waiting for...
