Just a quick update while I get a second...

First off, thank you so much to those who are thinking of us! It means the world to me that people out there care. THP is the most special place and I couldn't be any more proud to be a part of it all.

Second, we had a small Christmas miracle. Boston, my Australian Shepherd, got me up at the standard 6:30am to let him out. I fully expected to find Sadie, the sheltie with cancer, dead where I left her last night. She wouldn't get up and come in my room so I said my goodbyes and went to sleep best I could. When Boston and I got up there she was awake, stretching and ready to go out with us. I couldn't believe my eyes. On multiple occasions last night it seemed she stopped breathing to the point where I would have to touch her and feel her lungs moving.

I don't think she has long as she's lost 5 pounds in a week. 5 pounds on a 25 pound dog is a lot.

Finally, I just hope she finds peace and doesn't suffer. The vet says she isn't suffering and her attitude today agrees with that. However, each day she sleeps a little more, moves a little less.

Again, thank you to everyone here. The posts and PMs have been amazing.

THP continues to amaze at every turn!

Now that the Store is cleared out maybe 2016 is a good year to add some THP animal swag.
 
Lucy was a bit tuckered out after the big day.

Slightly stressful (drama queen) visit to the vet. Jaína is fine getting injections and taking pills, but lord forbid you try to cut her nails. lol

Evidently the vet knows of a male greyhound that looks exactly like Jaína... and would like them to "meet". It's too bad Jaína's been spayed. Not too shabby for a dog whose provenance we have no idea about.

I just stumbled across an organization many of us can relate to; it's called Grey Muzzle. www.greymuzzle.org

Their mission is quite honorable, and hits home as the owner of a grey muzzled Lady. It started only a couple years ago, one guy and little money, and now it's a national 501c. Check it out. I just hate it that people give up on their old dogs. Not anyone here, of course, but I know we all feel mighty fond of our old friends and might like to help some others.
 
Of course I put down her bed (Christmas present and a pair of my old jeans) and she decides she wants to lay on the tiles instead. :alien: (I don't blame her though... It's already above 30°C here)

Working on the fairway quality grass my MIL has cultivated, and Jaína decided to wage war. :D

Arrow has decided that I should not be laying in bed, even though I am sick. So he keeps jumping up on the bed, walking across my chest and dropping toys on my face.
