Dogs

She was mostly deaf and blind her last few years, but she managed perfectly fine on her own unless we moved stuff around. She could still see shapes, and when I turned to look at her she would still wag her tail, so not fully blind.

Eli loves swimming in lakes and rivers. He will lay in a stream and slowly blep up the water. He will, under no circumstances, go into the bath willingly.

Luckily, he is a good gentle boy and will allow me to put his paws in to get into the tub. Once he is washed and rinsed, we dry, and dry, and dry. We have to blow dry him after he is towel-dried or he will mildew.

Being blow dried is also one of his favorite things, which is good because it takes three people half an hour to get it done. It would go faster if I had one of those harnesses that stopped him from laying down and rolling over, but he will will over if you are gentle.

Our 11 year old dog Domino just passed early this morning. She was the world to our family. Sweetest dog I have ever known, and as this was my first pet, I have to say this is an extremely hard day. Here is a pic of her several months ago giving us love. I only hope we gave her a great life.

He's our rescue. He has some PTSD/anxiety issues from his past life, so he's on Prozac. Based on his teeth, the vet thinks he is between 4 and 6 years old. Based on how he moves around like an old man, I'm inclined to think he's closer to 6.

Molly the Bagle Hound. Such big toes!
