Wasting away

It's hard to watch Atticus in his final days, but he continues to have an appetite and acts like he wants to be here. If he snows pain or misery beyond what he is showing now I'll have to make the decision.

But right now he's cuddled up beside me and climbed up on the couch on his own. I sure do hate to lose my old guy.

Off for the day and the weather is fine!

Grayson keeps Atticus warm

Atticus is still hanging in there ... Little grayson is cuddled up with him on the couch- poor baby.

St. Francis, protect my paws...

The pups got their St. Francis medals today...hey, everyone needs an angel...

Old Man Atticus

Atticus is a little bag of bones at 16 years old, so he enjoys warmth more than ever. Here he is snuggled up in a blanket I wrapped around him as we both enjoyed the heat from the fireplace. I wish I could keep him forever...he has the personality of 10 cats...and still manages to be obnoxious and bossy with liver, kidney, and heart problems. He gets daily fluids and meds and seems to be pretty happy for now...and I am grateful.

Pepper in the snow

The dogs don't get to see much snow. It takes them a little while to get over the confusion of it all.

Sunday with cats

Peanut (looking up) and Yuki...

Pepper and her mama...

She loves to tuck her head under my chin while I rub her sides...

Atty

Atticus hanging out with mama today...he's been pulling out his fur since Rooney died, but it's getting better.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Petey is enjoying this beautiful weather...it's been so hot and humid lately, but today was in the mid 80's with low humidity...ahhhhhhhh. Pepper is running around so much I can't get a good picture of her! I can always count on the hound to hang out for a photo-op.

Too hot

Smidget says it's too hot! Sheesh!

over-the-shoulder-beagle-holder...

I took this picture by holding my phone over my shoulder. Petey is such a mess! He was running upthe stairs this morning with a cat poo in his mouth. He smells like Fritos too...guess it's bathtime...

not a good way to end the day...

I have to pull myself together to get through the work day. I have to put my little Rooney to sleep this afternoon. He is very sick and there's nothing the vet can do for him. I will miss him so much! He is an awesome cat...the personality of 20 cats in 1.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Yuki and I are being very lazy today...

Happy 4th

Hope you are having a good one!

hang time

Atticus is just hanging with his mama...

slight differences

I don't know if you can spot the subtle differences in these shoes, but one of them has been treated with a specialized dog slobber treatment. It was applied overnight so as to not interrupt our sleep schedule. Gosh, our dogs are just so thoughtful!!!
