The Hardest Post I've Ever Had To Make

 

I knew when my cell phone rang very early....before 7:00 a.m. and it was our veterinarian calling.  Test results from the previous day revealed all was not well.....and never would be again.  Along with numerous issues with Liesel's stomach, came the word I most feared.   Cancer.   

I don't have to tell you....my heart physically stopped...and I swear I quit breathing....I could hardly take in what I was being told.  Thankfully, her Dad was right beside me....hearing it as well.

And within seconds....our world would never be the same.....all the money & veterinary care in the world would not help our girl...the final outcome would be the same....

We spent the final hours loving on her hard.....and with the support of our veterinarian....sent her lovingly on her final journey...two months short of her eleventh birthday....

Our hearts are crushed....we never expected this ending for a beautiful little soul.   Today we woke up and for the first time in 24 years.....no little patter of paws in the hallway....

She has been lovingly laid to rest with Xena, Schatzi & Oskar.

Run free & healthy our sweet girl...until we see you again....

Wishing Everyone a Very Merry Christmas!!!

Time To Say.....

After much thought & consideration the decision to close the blog has been made.  We started this blog way back in 2008 as a way to keep family & friends updated on our doxie lives.  Since that time we have lost some of our dearest extended human family...not to mention enduring the pain of losing our beloved Xena, Schatzi & Oskar...the whole reasons for breathing life into this blog.  And with loss...comes renewal.  The arrival of our precious wirehair, Liesel...she has added a whole new dimension to our lives.

We cannot do our blog justice if we ignore it.   Life has a way of getting in the way, things change, situations change...priorities get shuffled.  The blog is going to be left up...for the time being..but we want to take this time to express how grateful we are for each reader who has visited, commented, shared in our good times and sorrow, laughed & cried with us along the way.  You have meant more to us than words can express....

Luv and peace out.

Happy Birthday Liesel!!

                                 A very happy birthday to our little wire girl!! We luv u bunches!!

In The Summer Time..

When the weather gets hot...I like to cool off & chillax in the pool

Or laze about the deck...enjoying the birds & squirrels ...

I found this strange thing in my water bowl...I likes it!!

                          Nothing better than drying off in the sun after a
                                          good roll in my pool towel!!

                            And wrestling & tussling with my brother from another mother!!
                                      (after we both had a rides on loungers in the pool)

All the fresh air & play...makes for one little tired wire hair!!

Just Get A Little Stinky...

And this is what happens...

Enjoying Summer!!

                              It's summer time!!  And I've been busy being me..floating about...

                                                                         Drying off...

                                                       Enjoying the occasional bone

Hope you are enjoying your summer too!!

I'm A Star!!!

A cushion with me on it!!!  Mama found it at Michael's!!
