Time

For the past few years, I've been housesitting Kurbie and Torii while their mom spends time at her timeshare in Mexico. Taking care of dogs is a whole different experience than taking care of my boyz but I've always enjoyed our time together.

This year was a little bit sad- Kurbie has reached an age and condition where he might not be around for a whole lot longer. He's mostly blind and deaf- he runs into a lot of things. He can't jump anymore and he needs to be let out a couple of times a night to do his business. We've known each other for over ten years now and to watch him lose a lot of his spunk is a little bit difficult. Still we've always had some fun together- most of our nights this time around have been spent with me and Torii watching TV and Kurbie circling the living room all evening long.

I thank you Kurbie for your ever inspiring spirit...

We're sorry about the woofie. We hope he has some good time left.

Mommy sat for a friend's kitty over the holidays, he is nearing that time as well and it broke her heart cause he's such a lover.

Oh, it must be hard to see your woofie friend getting older and less lifely. We're happy he can stay in his usual surroundings while his mum is away and gets cared for real good. That spares a lot of stress. Happy New Year to you, the boys and the woofies!
