This week has been a hard week. She's got a lot of fluid in her chest and is coughing a lot more. She also keeps waking up in the middle of the night and just standing there panting We have a vet visit early next week.

I am so sorry, Aly She is in good hands now with you, but regardless of what the outcome is, she is loved and that is a wonderful blessing for such a beautiful old dog. I hope everything is OK.

Leslie,

She's definately a fighter. She's got so much spunk in her. She just loves to push my hands away when I'm giving her a pill or checking her teeth. She also loves to yelp when I am inspecting her body for lumps. She learned early on that I immediately stop when she yelps. I know I'm not hurting her, but what can I say, she has me trained!

She got a TON of hair cut off yesterday and its making things easier on us. I had been worrying for months about how I was going to get her groomed because I refused to take her to a grooming place because she HATES cages. Normal groomers won't even do heart patients, she would need to be done at a vet. But even that I didn't want to do because it would have stressed her SOOOOOOO bad. Anyway, a groomer friend I know volunteered some time and came into my work to shave our Sheepdog so I took Peka in and he helped me out with her. It made it 100 times better that I was standing there with her.

Its very depressing to me and wearing me down emotionally to know that she doesn't have too long to live. I'm a wuss and I can't handle these things well. But I try to take comfort in knowing that she is happy now and a LOT better off than the nasty awful condition someone dumped her in.

Peka is such a cutie.

I love her haircut! Peka darling... do not be afraid of the camera. It's just a silly little box with a quick bright light and then people from all over the world can admire your prettiness.

She looks cute with her new cut! I hope she stays healthy as she can for awhile. She is soaking up the loven!

Oh, Aly. Don't be sad, I'm know she's so happy with you!! I hate to think of the unhealthy seniors that don't have such a wonderful place to live out their last months. But Peka's got YOU!!! Keep your chin up.
