Is it the AC vent? Are you practicing those facial expressions in the mirror? Does it feel like a cave? Is it even worth trying to guess at what goes on in your head?

Dear Lexi
Is it the AC vent? Are you practicing those facial expressions in the mirror? Does it feel like a cave? Is it even worth trying to guess at what goes on in your head?

Lexi has boundary issues.
All of these were taken with my photo booth, meaning they are pictures of the area between my laptop screen and myself.

Five Reasons
I love my dogs
1. Lexi has become the master incher. She slithers along the floor until she gets where she wants to go. I realize some of us may not approve, but it's damned cute.
2. Chloe is the dog that we got two Christmases ago, and I admit to many instances of "oh no, what have I done." She has turned into a real sweetie, though, and is now one of my favorite four dogs in the world. She gives the best kisses.
3. Both puppies have developed the charming (ok, funny) habit of getting all worked up when you are petting the other one. Chloe, in particular, gets all prancy even when you walk by her. It's nice to have you affection craved so much.
4. Because each Christmas is beth is another reason I feel lucky to have such a special dog. There is truly no other dog like beth (which if you've met her you know) and I love her to bits. One day I will be lost without her, but I try not to think about that to much.
5. Shea has a fuzzy head.

Halloween!
Todd and I are not dressing up for halloween, but we couldn't hold the dogs back!
Lexi, of course, is going as a dalmation.
Chloe is going as a beagle.
Shea as a St. Bernard
And beth insists that she is dressed up as a dog for Halloween, there's no use in trying to explain it to her.

Not yet, but soon
Shea shea got really sick last night. She had diarrhea all night and obviously very uncomfortable and panting a lot (sorry for the details.) Bless my husband for getting up with her at least six times and letting her outside. She seems better today, but she is sleeping a lot more than usual and is obviously still recovering (basically, just like a person would be after a night spent throwing up.) We don't know what caused her upset, but she eats basically everything she can get her mouth on, so there's no telling.
Everytime something like this happens to Shea, we both end up thinking "I wonder if this is it." We knew we weren't going to have her long when we got her (she was 12 then, and that was a year ago) and she seems to still be living a happy life, but we kind of have her on a DNR. We don't want to spend a lot of time and resources just to buy her a few more months that may not be very quality, anyway. What's going to be difficult is if something comes up in kind of a grey area - do we get it treated or not? When do we know if it's time to let her go? How do we make sure she has a high quality of life, without going broke doing it? (not to be cold, but vets are expensive!)
I'm glad we didnt have to make a decision like that last night, but we will one day. I guess it comes with the territory of having a senior dog, I hope that when the time comes, she lets us know.
