Hi Rachel! I know it's been a minute, but I so understand your predicament. Luna and Nova will be 13 and 11 this spring (where did the time go?!?). About a year ago, Luna decided that she just didn't want to go down the stairs anymore. She would still go up fine, but she'd get about 2-3 steps down with her front legs, psych herself out, and then back up to the top again. Like Sweep, she got a clean bill of health. Vet said it was simply psychological. I wouldn't necessarily lean towards dementia, but I will say that habits have changed as my girls have aged. Luna doesn't sleep for the whole night anymore, and will usually leave the bedroom at some point, get a drink of water, snooze somewhere else for an hour or two, and then head back to bed. No telling what all of that is about, but she seems happy and healthy enough. It could be that Sweep is just finding her new normal as well. Good luck!

Thank you all so very much!!

What a sweet kitty! Congrats to you all!

I know I haven't been on here often as of late. 2018 was an odd year, and 2019 is following suit. But I wanted to share a brief post of my girls since this week marks both of their Gotcha Days. Nova Noodle celebrated her 5th Gotcha Day on March 1, and Luna Lou is celebrating her 8th Gotcha Day today! I am so grateful for the light and love these two bring into my life each and every day, and I hope we can celebrate many more years together! Here's a recent photo. Luna on the left, and Nova on the right. <3

If you can, feel free to reach out to a local Richmond group, James River Greyhounds. I adopted both of my girls with them and they are a lovely group to work with. I bet they'll have some ideas for you. Good luck!

I am so very sorry for the loss of your sweet Trevor.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your Rocket. He will surely be missed by all.

Happy Birthday to Trevor!!

Happy 9th Birthday to June!!

My Luna turned 11 on May 30th. Luckily, I was back from Iceland just in time to help her celebrate the day! Here Luna is, on her birthday morning: And, of course, it wouldn't be a birthday without a bit of cake!! At 11, Luna is still a spitfire. She gallops around the house, plays with her toys, and generally bosses me around. She also continues to demand her multi-mile daily walk, leading the way and choosing her preferred route. She may have more silver mixing into her black coat, but beyond that, you'd never guess her age. And I adore her more and more with each passing day. Happy 11th Birthday, Luna Lou!!

I am so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for the loss of your Selena.

Nova thanks you all for taking the time to wish her well!

I am doing a terrible job of keeping up on the internet these days, and I missed Nova's birthday post. That said, Nova Noodle turned 9 in April, and we celebrated on the day in the usual way-- with a homemade chicken and pasta breakfast! Please join me in wishing Nova a happy belated birthday. She says that eight was great, but nine is fine! Nova and her birthday noodles:

Happy belated Birthday to Aiden!!
