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.

Meet Tink

Image
After months and months of waiting, praying, and praying some more, we finally have a new addition to our family. This is "Tink" (yes, short for Tinkerbell) and she is about 9 weeks old. She is a Chug. Part Pug part  Chihuahua.   I was looking at rescues, adoption centers, Craigslist, newspapers and various other places people post dogs. Every time we found one we liked it had issues with other dogs or cats. Then I couldn't decide if I wanted an older dog for Casey, or a puppy.

A Memory of Cain & My Need to Move On

Image
A few days before Cain had passed away he must have had a chill because he was shivering. It was not like a seizure shake. It was rather chilly in our house. I remember Big M grabbing his sweater to put on him and me telling him not to. I just did not want Cain to freak out. Big M did not listen and when I came around the corner, this is what I saw. I had asked for a photo but I never saw him take it. When I was scrolling through the photos on my phone - this is what I found.
