drum roll please.....

Willow My first attempt at walking all 3 of them together.  It went pretty well.  Sam the 14 yr old is the hardest to walk... b/c he wants to stop and eat everything along the way!

After a long day, Willow and Sam snoozing on the dog beds.  This is how we spend most evenings!

And we have a 3rd dog!!!  Meet Willow, born 5/4/05 and adopted by us on Friday 3/16/12.

Cushing's Disease

Sammy I am procrastinating.  Sam has a vet appointment in about 40 minutes.  He hates going to the vet.  His symptoms from his Cushing's disease are getting worse.  (He was diagnosed in Nov 2010.)  We decided to treat him holistically when he was first diagnosed.  He was on Chinese herbs until we thought perhaps they weren't gentle enough on his stomach.   So we took him off everything.  Now I think we are going to put him on Trilostane.  The vet wants to do some additional testing just to make certain something else isn't going on with him.

To make matters worse, I think he had a seizure last night.  Bless the poor old guy's heart.  Doggie prayer's for Sam would be much appreciated.

Sloan, forever missed

Sloan likes her elephant. Sam decided he liked Sloans elephant and he stole it.  Does he look guilty?

Sloan says, fine.  keep the elephant... Im tired of it already and prefer to scratch my back.

These pictures were taken in our backyard in California on Jan 5, 2006.  Each dog got an elephant both of which might be tucked away in a closet.  I have a hard time throwing away their toys.

I miss you Sloan and still think about you often.  4/29/96 - 12/13/08
