Remembering Mako
Thirty years ago today, a little Beagle was born. She was a lifelong happy little dog, never a loudmouth unless on a scent outdoors, and always ready to run and chase those rabbits. Fortunately, I have two acres worth of rabbits. I remember the summer days she would go out back to the stream in hot pursuit...

Fergie 1989-2010 ***update***
Fergie 1989-2010 Today is both a sad and happy day. It’s sad, because our little family has lost another true warrior, and happy because she is now in the spirit land, with her ancestors, her first mom, and the best doggy daddy who ever lived. I met Fergie for the first time...

Sam
DH's parents called to say they put down Sam, the cocker spaniel. He was about 14 years old. He's had a heart murmur his entire life. When I met DH six years ago, Sam was also getting chronic yeast infections in his ears and started to develop arthritis in his knees. Recently, his heart problems...

Prayers for Sheba (pics included)
My poor old girl is going downhill. I have an appt with the vet tomorrow to see if there is anything I can do to make her more comfortable. In the last two weeks she's slowed down considerably. She used to stroll around & go outside, but last week she decided she didn't want to do that anymore...

Daddy
You all know that I am not a fan or follower of Cesar Millan's methods, however, I am truly sorry for him on the loss of what must be a "heart dog" for him. Apparently, Daddy has passed away at what, for a Pit Bull, is a very respectable age - 16. Whether for or against his techniques,...

Molly has went to Rainbow Bridge
We had to put our Dalmation Molly to sleep today. She was 15 and in pain, while I know it was the right decision, it hurts so bad. Does anyone know Debbie? She painted urns for my other dogs and I have lost her email.
