Happy birthday to your "little dog." I'm sorry to hear she's not in the best health. Keep on lovin' on her. She may not hear your praise, but I bet she can read you like a book.

@Reesha, your dog is just gorgeous! And love the house!

@7rider, your furbabies are growing up to be beautiful cats. I hope you're enjoying them, notwithstanding the lamp!

@colorisnt. Congrats on your new pup! I'm glad you have a new friend. I mentioned in another thread that I was glad to see you back. When we last heard from you, you were feeling pretty down. It sounds like you're doing well now. I'm so glad. I'm sure the dog has been therapeutic.

Our first Boston Terrier, Pepper, lived to 14-3/4. The last year+ she was deaf, nearly blind, partially incontinent, in addition to her longer-term health problems (seizures, hyperlipidemia, and hypothyroidism). We just bent down and gave her loving that way since she couldn't hear the verbal praise. She was a trooper and a happy girl up until almost the very end when she started having cluster seizures, and we finally had to put her down. All you can do is give them the best care and kindness for as long as they still have good quality of life. Enjoy her remaining time and know that you are giving her a wonderful home!

Thanks so much for the kind words.

Here is a pic of her in 2005. She was sleeping on her favorite chair, it was my Grandparents' old rocking chair that I got after they passed away. I guess she is the great grand-puppy!!

She's adorably solobiker. I am kind of biased because I have a shih tzu mix who is my first baby. He's 15 now and still going. Deaf and blind yes, but still happy as the day he came home. I'm sure your little girl is the same.

I came real close to adopting a male kitty yesterday. He is real handsome - semi-long hair white cat with torti markings (splotches). But considering that I will probably move one more time this summer - the shelter volunteer and I decided that as much as she'd like to see him go to a good home, it would probably be for the best to wait until after I move. But I can't get his lovely face out of my mind....:(
