| Been busy, spending more time with my old Chihuahua Tripp. he is now 12. He is getting weaker, sleeping more, eating and drinking less, sometimes his back legs give out. My vet says enjoy my time, he is fading. I am heartbroken, he has been my constant companion since i got him for Mother's day 12 years ago. he was a runt, not doing well, his mother was not feeding him, he was very weak. But he had my heart from the second i laid eyes on him. Always a feisty fella, still has an attitude. I now call him "old man". The heat and humidity here this summer has kept him in recently, his eye sight is not good anymore, and his hearing is going. he is losing fur and getting very white. He is also getting wrinklier, but still my ole Tripper. i have cried a million tears, i will miss him much, he has been most loyal and loving, it does hurt to see him age, but I love him. I take my responsibilities seriously, and his loyalty and trust is what I will hold to when the time comes if I must make a decision. I pray he goes in his sleep, it will be so much kinder in my mind. He needs help at times to get on the bed, always lays beside me. I wish i had more years with him, as my sister's Chihuahua Abigail lived to be 17 despite having seizures. At least i have his daughter Ittsy Bittsy, she is now 5, she was pushed aside to die after birth by her mother, she was very tiny, only as big as my thumb, still very tiny-only weighs 3 pounds. She started out being fed with an eye dropper, strangely my dachshund Gypsy nursed her after she was given to her . Tripp never held it against me when I had him neutered as i did not want him to breed with his daughter, though he was not a happy camper when I picked him up from the vet that day! Just rambling, he has a piece of my heart, it will be so hard, pray for my Tripp. |
| thanks to those that like my wallpapers. some of the older ones i had on an old pc, finally got them on my new one. hopefully here others can enjoy them. it is cold and snowy here today. got 17 ins. dumped by the storm that blew up the east coast. am dealing with another migraine, hoping to avoid a trip to the ER. hurt my knee in a fall 10 days ago, surgery the 21st. of course it had to be the left one, i injured the leg when i was13. hit by a car, spent the wole summer in a cast from hip to toes. tripp is under the covers, his arthritis is bothering him. bittsy hates getting her paws wet. did not take either one long to whizz when i took them out. son-in-law out deer hunting, he promised me the hide if he is lucky. i will use it to make moccasins after getting the hair off and scraping and tanning it. had coyotes scavenging at the neighbors last night. at least the bears are sleeping. had a panther sighting in the area. daughters cats won't even go out at night now. |
