Hello from AnnaBelle ....

[kimlovescats]

AnnaBelle finally got a beauty parlor appointment today, so she let me take her picture.

For some reason though, looking at these pictures tonight just really makes me sad. I am seeing how her body is losing its tone, and how she is having to bear all her weight on her front legs .... causing her to bow them so far apart. If it weren't for Gretta, I think she would give up.








So happy to see "sister" as soon as she got back home:

She looks so beautiful!

She looks so beautiful!!

What about one of those carts to support her back legs? That might take some strain of her front legs??

I am fairly new here, so I am not sure of your dogs situation. So that was just a suggestion.

Aww, AnnaBelle is so pretty! What good friends she must be with Gretta. Cute pics.

[shais_mom]

smooches to the little sweetie!

Kim I have been looking forward to these pictures since you mentioned in another thread that you'd have some "after the beauty shop visit" pictures soon.

My eyes are welling up with tears now. She is a beautiful girl and I can see the desire to play in her eyes. It breaks my heart that she is not able to follow through due to her handicap. Ripley says she still makes his heart go pitter patter.

Please give AnnaBelle a big hug from me and give another one to Gretta for being such a caring sister. While you are at it, give yourself a hug. You deserve one with all that you and your family have been going through. (((hugs)))

Hi Annabelle! Your mommie was keeping you all to herself and not sharing our loveliness with ANY of us here on PT! It is so good so see you straight from the beauty parlor. What a nice coloring you have, dear!

Hi Kim! How old is she? Someone mentioned a handicap? She still has sparkle in her eyes, that's a nice sign!!!

[borzoimom]

Annabelle- you look great! And I love the first picture- lots of life in her eyes. She sure does love Gretta doesnt she?

[Logan]

She is still beautiful, Kim. I hate that she isn't 100% these days, but she certainly looks very much loved. That's what counts!

She is still a beautiful little girl. I love the picture of her and Greta, how cute! Hugs and kisses to you, Annabelle.

Hello there sweet Annabelle. Your hair looks absolutely marvelous. It is definately true love between you and your sister

[Daisy and Delilah]

She is such a cute doll, Kim!!! I am in love with her. She has the sweetest face. I also want to just hug and kiss her. Please do that for me. What a wonderful sister Gretta is
