Good bye Elvis

Found out that little dog Elvis whose adoption story was so wild passed away right around when Covid hit the US. He was getting old. He had a back injury five or six years ago and it just became Read more

I’ve never forgotten you, sweet girl. I’m sorry I failed you.

Happy Birthday to my Dax

Today you’d be nineteen. I bet you’d be around for it too, if it weren’t for cancer.

I miss you buddy. Go catch that tail.

Xoxo

Resurrection Protocol

I dunno how I’d cope with this. Part of it really appeals to me, knowing it would break my heart in the process.

But the chance to see Leia again is a strong pull. Even if it was an Read more

For Leia

Today’s the particular anniversary of her death I’ve been dreading. The seven-year mark. The point in which I have mourned her for as long as I actually knew her.

Seven years. That’s how long my little Leia was in Read more

Happy Birthday Leia

Today would be when we’d have celebrated her thirteenth birthday.Daddy misses you so much, baby girl. Happy birthday. I love you.

Dax

I miss my goofy old man

The Time I Met Elvis

It was the seventeenth of May and I was minding my own business when I noticed a little Chihuahua on the drive-way camera.   The lighting being what it was, I thought I was just looking at a Read more

Only a week…

 

It was a week ago today that I had to make that very tough decision.    Sunny was not doing well.   It had been several days since I had seen him eat anything (and months since I had seen Read more

Rest in Peace

We laid our Sunny to rest today, alongside his sister Cher.      Always have him in our hearts.   It was a beautiful day today… the perfect day for him.

I’ll miss my little Read more

Don’t take my sunshine away…

 

Today is the first sun rise in thirteen or so years where Sunny isn’t on this Earth anymore.   

Rest in peace buddy.   Chase some birds for me.

The Old Dog

 

Mostly I just wanted to store these links somewhere for future reference.    But if you’re a dog-owner, with an aging dog, these might be useful for you too.

Its all rather short and to the point, but useful Read more

Dream Log: Stolen Puppies and Big Rigs

 

Two dreams I recall:

 

One dealt with me driving a big rig on unfamiliar, and overly complex, freeways.   Had three other passengers.  One looked like Jenna from work, but wasn’t Jenna in the dream.    Kept missing exits Read more

Bittersweet indeed…

This always makes me happy and sad at the same time.    Pet gets lost, is adopted by a new family, gets lost again, turns up in a shelter, finally gets the microchip the first owner had implanted scanned, and Read more

My very own lion king

Sunny asleep in his realm.  He’s fully transitioned himself into outside cat for the summer.  He only comes in to demand that i serve his meals out on the linai.  🙂

Old Man

 

Today my dog officially becomes a senior citizen.    At least in my eyes.  I guess 7 is the magic number when dog food changes from ‘adult’ to ‘senior’ status.   He’s been on that diet for awhile now.

Taking Read more

Relief for Japan’s pets

 

Snagged the following from Joe Mallozzi’s blog…   very heart-wrenching.   this young girl is behind a radiation barrier, evidentially “reaching out to almost touch her dog on the other side.”

Silly as it may sound, my first thoughts in Read more

My dog staring into a nonexistent fire…

Not sure if he’s wishing for a fire (he liked the gas fire at ds3), or if he’s staring at himself.

Thoughts of Kanika

 

Kanika was my cat.   She’s been gone almost three years now.    Yesterday I received an email from the veterinarian that the shelter had sent her too for spaying when I adopted her.    It was a Happy Birthday email, Read more

Dog Wars

So it turns out… the actual canines in my pack… and their hierarchy…

With Dax and Leia… I’m doing the right thing, but for the wrong reason.

With Leia and Cha Cha…  I’m doing the wrong thing, for the Read more
