Dinky died today. We put her to sleep. She was having seizures and difficulty breathing.

This video is from 2008.

And now, she can really fly if she wants to.

Many thanks to our wonderful vet, Dr. Strubel, who was always there for her, and us, with brilliant, outside the box solutions.

Thanks to Jane. Dinky adored Jane, and was always delighted to spend time with her. 

Many thanks to Dr. Woods. We appreciate your treatments and kindnesses.
I almost forgot - many thanks to Liette, who brought The Imp into our lives.

This makes me laugh out loud.

Parenthetically Sleeping (Dinky Ziggy)

Stop with the photos already

Dr. S. giving the Mighty Miss some dog food and she liked it!!! We thought it was some valium high driving her love of the dog food, but no, she scarfed some more up tonight.

Go Dinky! Go Dinky!

Visitor coming tomorrow - Ziggy!

All hail the Zigmeister.

Bad Night, 4 more seizures

Little Bit had 2 seizures today. This is the picture post seizures, post ER vet visit, post acupuncture. She looks pretty good. AND was trotting around the house tonight. I, on the other hand, have a migraine.

Muah. Kisses.

Love you, Little Dog.

The 5am Papoose

Belly Full of Roasted Chickee

Sleeping Beauty

Dog Pie with a Side of Rat Tail

Hind Feet.

The Little Dog has the legs of my deceased Aunt May-May - ballerina legs, not an ounce of fat. Her feet are her main concentration, chewing and manicuring them constantly. She has hair between her toes that is long and she keeps it spotlessly clean. When she lies down, it's like some mane off a tiny pony, and she is insulted if you attempt to touch the hair between her toes. After all, you are dirtying it. FOR PETE'S SAKE.

Tiny.
Wandering the hall.
Without her hall pass because she don't need no stinkin' pass.

Waiting for Jane?
Is she here yet? How about now?

Because dirty water from outside is SO much more delicious.

I am not here, and you are not there. Now, turn the light off and be quiet.
You are tiresome and I am tired.

Little Dog bathroom break at 3am and 5:45am. Then, she was hungry at 6am. She went back to sleep. I could not.

Flat Out Lie

The Rat Tail and the Hind Foot

Sadly, this is her tail now after a breeze slammed the front door  on it. This is a photo of the side the vet shaved because the hair was tangling up with the other side, the bloody side damaged by the door, the side too gruesome to be on the internet. The bad side had been covered in scabs, but the Little Dog neatly picked all the scabs off and lined them up on her binky for me to check out.

Dogs are not allowed in Rite Aid. She is not a dog.

I don't need to close my eyes to sleep.

The Tastiest Toe

1am. Last bathroom break. Last feeding.

She has to chew her feet now.
It's her ritual.
Gnaw. Gnaw. Gnaw.

I was wrong - one more bathroom break.

Then, she's out for the night.
