Is Casey Obese?

When I think of obese, I don't really think about pets. I tend to call them "fat" even though I hate that word for human purposes.

My friend Matt at Pet365 created this brilliant graphic some time ago and I am sorry that I am just now getting around to sharing it with you. Like everything else, I got pushed to the back burner when Cain got really sick. (sort of like yesterdays post) Now that he is gone I am making sure that Casey is healthy and with us as long as she can be.

    We've been watching our dog's weight because Sheltie's are at risk for hip issues and additional weight only makes the issue worse. Our vet has told us they are within expected weight levels. Now if Mom could just get there.

    By the time we started to get Cains weight under control was about the time the cancer/tumors took over and the meds caused an increase appetite. Casey needs to lose about 20lbs to get into the normal range for her size. I hope to get her there while I work on my own weight loss. Cain had hip problems, arthritis. Sure did not help. Casey is 100% healthy as can be. Shes a tough cookie and loves to be active. Now that Cains resting in a better place she is free to be the vibrant girl she needed to be these last few months.

Cain: One Year Ago Today

Image
RIP Cain  November 4, 2003  to Febuary 7, 2012 It was one year ago today I had to say goodbye to my beloved Cain . I remember the day like it was yesterday. I have yet to bury Cains ashes in the cemetery with  my grandparents. I'm just not ready to let go. I just want to keep him with me. So, I am going to spend some time today looking at pet urns and perhaps changing him from his tin box to a nice wooden one with some engraving.  I've also decided to buy a bamboo plant in his honor and plan to do that when he gets home tonight. I don't have to worry about the weather and I don't have to worry about it dying. It will live on forever, just like Cain's memory.

lil m has the sadz for Cain

Image
lil m visits every weekend. mom, dad and lil m were all playing this Lego things and they never let me play! but during the play time lil m found an old red "baby" that Cain had for a very long time. silly Cain chewed the arm right off that baby. i always laughed when Cain played with that baby. big tough Cain with this still red squeaky baby. i think mom got a little sad too. lil m went away for a minute and came back out with this drawing she made. she asked mom if she could bury it with Cain and that we should bury his baby with him too. mom said it was fine with her. lil m smiled and then went back to her room. mom went to see why she had not come out some time later and i followed. lil m had a red wet face. mom told dad that she was very upset about Cain, to take me outside to potty and that she would take care of lil m.

I'm Sorry!!! Pet Update

I am sorry I have not been very good about updating this website. Cains memory lives on very strong in my life and there are times when missing him completely controls me. He was my "baby," my "son" and he was so important in my life for so many reasons. We had some friends over a few weekends back and their daughter said "I thought you had two dogs?" and lil m replied with "Oh, we did. He died. The cancer got him." And then she went over to the toy box and picked up his favorite monkey and started to talk about how sad she was. Not wanting our company to feel awkward, at least not the daughter, I came to the rescue with my chatter about how he is playing in Gods yard, cancer free. Casey has some good days and some bad days. This past week she has been extremely mopey. She'll go outside and just lay where Cain used to lay. Just wants to lay there and do nothing. Over the weekend she was at my moms while Big M and I were out of town. My mo
