I'm so thrilled to read about your love for one another and the little things you do to try to be certain she's happy, well-cared for and spoiled just to the right degree. All dogs deserve a good dose of spoiling in my opinion! |
I never knew how much this little bundle of fun and energy would come to mean to me. Sadly through arthritis, I can't visit the beaches with her as much as I'd like. I feel guilty when I see her gazing from the balcony at the other dogs sprinting about below. Her mom is great in this department when she's not working however and they both return exhausted but happy from their hikes.
Somehow however I know, she empathizes with my position and our extended play sessions in the flat go some way to make up.
Funny how that little 4lb bundle, with her fur all knotted and matted with wood chips eying me with such quizzical looks last June has now materialized into my close friend and constant source of joy.
Nowadays I'm often reduced to a private tear, watching how other poor creatures are treated through TV rescue programmes and Youtube links on this forum.
I think we're are all lucky to have the blessing of our little people and to appreciate their unique personalities.
