  1. Little Wabi, who passed Sept. 1 last year, visited me in a dream the morning of my birthday (the 16th). It was a dream-within-a-dream, in which I was aware that, while it was a dream, it was as real as she could make it. She came up to me and sat in her funny way, and looked at me until I allowed myself to believe it was her. I started petting her, talking to her, and she came forward, and collapsed into me in her own uniquely uncoordinated way for a nice cuddle, until I woke up. :wub::wub::wub:

    our first meeting :wub:

     

    On a sadder note, we were taking a load of trash to the dump this morning, and finally decided to take the blanket and comforter that had been in the car for her trip to and then with her body back from the e-vet. Weird alert: knowing they had the last remnants of her, bodily fluids I'm talking about here, brought back all the feelings of discarding her body that come with burying (or, I assume, sending off to be cremated), and I had the urge to cling to them. I did let them go, of course, but I'm still sitting here crying. :(

     

    Ah well. It's a beautiful day. Wabi would not spend it crying over a blanket. ;) She is still my teacher. :bow2

  2. Wabi's Therapaws are ready to move on. If you have a very small greyhound, and need therapaws, let me know, and I'll send them to you.

     

    These are SMALL. To find out if they'll fit, stand your dog on a piece of paper, and make a mark where the foot touches in the back, and the nails reach in the front, then measure the distance. If it's 2 inches or less, these boots will fit. :)

     

    Three of the four have some Shoe-Goo repair, at the back edge of the sole, because of the way Wabi's weird little foot worked (or didn't ;) ), but while it's not exactly cosmetic, it won't affect the use of the boots for a more normal dog.

  3. Checking in, and sorry to see you're getting to some of the inevitable bumps in the road. :( Can you just stick the pills down his throat, and follow up with treats?? At least that way you don't have to worry that he'll accidentally bite into them and taste the nastiness. Some dogs are easier with this than others, so I'll wish you luck with the pill-sticking!

     

    Good thoughts to Larry, too! And hugs all around. :bighug :bighug
