RIP Lea and Zipper

My friend's cat has been missing for a few weeks. He is micro-chipped and they put out posters, but nothing. Today apparently, they find out he had been hit by a car and buried by a nice neighbor. I was very sad.

Then I find out that that the dog of my good friend's had to be put down today. She apparently started having trouble walking a month ago. Xrays determined Cancer and she wasn't doing so well. And they have a 6 and 8 year old. I can only imagine how they are feeling right now.

I have been crying for 2 hours now. I love you guys!

Nala and her funny habits...

This is just a follow up to the blog I wrote on March 6th about Nala sitting in the window still all day long. At the time, she wouldn't perform for the camera and only got her part way into the windowsill. But tonight she was sitting there as usual, and I actually thought to grab my camera this time. So here are a few shots of her in her favorite place.

Nala, Nala, Nala

So Nala had a vet appointment today. All went well, she just needed some shots. The vet said there is a slight irregularity in her heartbeat, but said it wasn't a murmur. He didn't seem too concerned right now, so neither am I. She is starting to show her age a bit. Her hearing isn't what it was, and I can tell her hips bother her when she jumps on things. But she is a very active 13 year old. Her favorite thing (besides playing ball and getting treats) is to sit in the windowsill of my front window. To do this, she had to first jump up on the couch. After that, she has to scale the back of the couch. Then she lays down in the windowsill behind the couch and watches the world go by. Silly dog. So I figure she isn't all that old yet since she can do that. However, she is 13, and I have never altered her diet since she she switched from Puppy Chow to Dog Chow. So figured that I would consider her a senior now and bought some new food today. I was already giving her a vitamin every day as well as a joint supplement, but just replenished the supply as well. So all is good with my 13 year old puppy :-)

And here she is, partially in the window. She wouldn't lay down in her spot on command however.
