Oh that was wonderful! Made me think of Max. Thanks for sharing that.

What a heartwarming story, especially since I have an old girl at home.

Great story!

When people ask me how LJ is, my usual reply is simply "old". That kind of sums it up!

I LOVE the seniors but that description sure didn't fit Paige the rage at eleven! Paige runs over a mile a day with her 2 yr old brother and other than peeing the bed once in awhile still looks and acts like a three yr old!!!!

Okay, I read that and I keep thinking....why aren't they treating the thyroid deficiency????

Other than that, great story!!

Thanks for posting this Jean.
Our "four-legged elder" has been gone for more than 3 years now, but a day does not pass that I do not miss Meeka, her "wisdom" and everything else about her
