Not completely my fault that it has been so long since the last post. We had a thunderstorm and the cable line got struck by lightening. Unfortunately we had everything but the cable plugged into the surge protector. Our computer was not so happy. It took a while to get the repair folks out here. Then I was just busy with all sorts of stuff that was not so fun.
Many of you know that we had to put Cole down at the end of August. He started having some issues with aggression, he attacked Pasha twice and chased one of the cats. Unfortunately unbeknownst to me he got the cat Owen also, pounced on him. The cat died a day later from internal injuries. We decided it was better to be safe then sorry and Cole had a lovely last week getting everything his way. We all miss him terribly but know that it was for the best.
Pasha and Moreau seemed to revive well and were having a good time running about. Poor Moreau was getting stiffer and stiffer so we took a trip to the vet to get her some drugs for her arthritis. We discovered that she had lost 10 pounds in 7 months. After the blood work came back the Dr figured it to be a tumor so we started her on drugs to encourage her to eat. This worked for a couple of days and then she started leaving food in her bowl. Last Wednesday she would not eat her breakfast at all and when she was out side she fell over and could not get back up with out my help. When she fell the second time and started panting heavily in pain I knew it was time. Our vet made time for me and let me bring her straight in so she would not suffer. I am trying to see the bright side that she had a good long life and was healthy and active right up till the end but some days are harder then others. I know they say that dogs do not grieve but I have to disagree, Pasha seemed lost. The only bright point was a puppy that came home on Friday night. Jasper has given Pasha a new lease on things and she is running around like the crazy puppy she once was.
Joey is thriving and growing and oh yeah his birthday present came a bit early. She is the cutest little pony. I will post pictures of everyone.
I better get back to my house work. I promise it will be much sooner when I post next.
Love you all, Nikki
