I know it is "treasure every moment" time with her--and I do.

Hug them all tightly and no matter what is going on around us, make those happy moments stay with you throughout this year.. to all!

So I am right there with you. Live with all your might and take lots of photos. Thats been my one regret when it comes to helping one across the Rainbow Bridge... not enough pictures. These days the memory marbles don't work so well, and each baby is so very precious. Love to you and yours.

She and we are all learning how to deal with it. This morning she was sleeping so soundly, and wouldn't open her eyes, we were worried she was dying.

We also have her brother, that can't hear, so we have a pair of 14 year old Goldens, one blind and one deaf, we love them every day.

Be complete with our two legged guests pets, too! That way no one spends NYE alone. With all the food, it ought to be a real circus around here. Felt this was appropriate given that they're all our emotional support babies. And we are theirs.

To you and yours!

I'll be going next door to sit with the kitties during all the fireworks and gunfire, their humans are at a Native American ceremony at a rez a few hours from here so I get to play with the kitties as soon as I finish my dinner.
