In Memory - Moby

Another sad day for the nubbins, the candles will be lit tonight.

*****

It is with a heavy heart and an appreciation for all that is loyal, beautiful, and loving, that I tell you that Moby is at the Rainbow Bridge. It was a 24 hour whirlwind involving an out-of-control brain tumor.  He had been on steroids to take care of a colitis attack, and when he came off them, the inflammation from the cancer (that nobody knew about) caused seizures. He was 10 and a half, but still a puppy to the core.  He greeted me in the early morning with a toy in his mouth and a kidney bean wiggle, and always slept on the bed.  Needless to say, he will be missed every single day.  I know you understand that he was family.

In Memory - Minnie

Saying farewell today to a friend's compassionate care foster.

07/23/14  Yesterday I made the tough decision to release Minnie from her DM. They are never with us long enough. I adopted her April 2013 at the age of 10. No-one wanted her because of her many tumors. I looked beyond the tumors and her personality really was wonderful. I was her foster home.

These pictures were taken about the same time that I adopted Minnie. She loved that little dinosaur, but some foster chewed it up! I was never able to find her another toy that would keep her attention the way that one did.

I have been having a lot of difficulty with my back of late, and having to lift her was the main cause. Today my life is a bit easier and I have no regrets. She was an amazing old girl!  The rest of the pack has looked around for her, but seem to realize that she is gone. She was beautiful.

Playdate

I brought Ms Keela over to meet Daisy, the Great Dane I've been dogsitting this week. Unfortunately the size difference was a bit overwhelming for both of them. Given time, which they just might get, I think they could learn to enjoy each other's company though.

You have a nice yard here Daisy.

Thanks Keela, this shrub here is particularly nice.

Yeah, I think I'll hang here in the shade a bit.

That's fine, I'll be over here if you need me.
