    Fergie

    Well, she's thinner by the day, now, although a little spring is, amazingly, still in her step, and she still gets up at the same times, finds everything, knows where her water bowl and bed are, and greets the other dogs and me with a wee wag when she sniffs us.  But, I know that she is fading rapidly.  I would like prayers and vibes for her to last as long as she's happy and pain free, and then to join her friends at the bridge peacefully.  My wish is that she will die at home of old age in her sleep (she sleeps a lot now, probably because she can't hear the things that wake the others up), although I will help her if I have to.  She's been a good, happy dog, and while I always considered her as Inez's dog who I was just minding, I love her as my own and will miss her when she's gone.  She is 20 years and 9 months old, an admirable accomplishment for any little dog.

    I will keep Fergie in my thoughts and prayers that she pass peacefully when the time is right. She's lived a very good, long life and deserves to continue that thru the very end. I'm saying the same prayer for my 15 y.o. girl but hearing how long Fergie has lived, it gives me hope that we might have more time left than I imagined.

    Absolutely !!  The dark, short days are difficult for them and you have my heartfelt prayers and good thots that she will simply be able to make that 'trip' over the Bridge on her own. 

    The grass at the bottom of the Bridge should be filling in now after Foxy the MOstlie Sheltie's pacing until he and Ms. Kee were reunited (and my Prissy is still telling him how silly that was!! A girl will go when she's READY, no matter how much any fella paces -- Mostlie Sheltie or not!)

    But I'm sure Mike has shared many a sunny afternoon in the Meadow with all of them and he's assured them that Fergie's journey will take place at the right time ... just as Kee's did. 

    When they are that frail and aged -- every day is a triumph and a victory.  Tell Fergie Aunt Callie sends her best behind-the-ear gentle scratches and songs.  Holler if I can help -- or even if I can just be support.

    WOW, over 20 years old!  Now that's an accomplishment in itself!  Good job.

    Fergie has my strong prayers and thoughts as she continues to age.  She must have one heck of a good mum to make it to this age!

    She did have a good mum - her name was Inez.  She gave me a great old dog and the love of my life...and I will always be grateful to her.  She also  left me a family that I could never have imagined before.  Fergie has quite a  history and I am really her third owner after Ma and Mike;-)

    Fergie you have protected your family well dear girl!  Enjoy your days in retirement now, Mike will wait for you and there are many others that will be there to greet you when it is time for you to cross.  We will be sending you prayers of peaceful days ahead until you tell your Mom it's time to go.

    Dear old Fergie, wow, what a wonderful life you've had.  You've gotten to share your life with THREE wonderful humans.  Rest easy & love hard.  Good vibes for you & your second mom.

    What a wonderful, long life! Over 20 years old, amazing. Prayers and good vibes being sent your way.

    Best wishes for her as she tires out in this life and prepares to rip and tear in her next one.

    It's never easy on us. Never. My thoughts with you too, Anne.

    Who knows, maybe the last thing she saw on TV before she went blind was the energizer bunny;-))  It certainly seems that is who she has been using as a role model these last couple of years...
