Happy Tuesday Everyone
Losing an animal can cause so much heartbreak and so many regrets if only I Could have one more hug, Wish I had spent more time with them* I know that feeling as I felt it after losing every single pup I've had, Sam, Jazz, Sheara and my Gorgeous boy Geordie, it still hurts. I have 2 dogs at the moment Mika who is 14 and Luna who is 8, this is my favourite photo of Mika, she's young and looks so cute.
I love these 2 so much, they mean the world to me, I am watching our MooMoo, that's Mikas nickname. Mika aged pretty quickly after losing Geordie. She's finding it hard to get into the sofa so we lift her, she has stairs to get in the bed and sometimes she finds them hard, Hubby has noticed her slowing down alot when taking her for a walk so he's had to reduce her walks, she is also not reaching the grass to pee, she's doing it as soon as she gets out the door plus hubby is up with her about 4 times through the night.
I have bought a coverless quilt just incase she does have an accident then the whole quilt goes straight into the washing machine. We have the landing floor covered in puppy pads just incase. Thankfully she's still eating as normal and enjoying her treats, I sneaked an extra treat for her, She deserves all the treats.
I've just recently shaved all her hair as it was super thick and to hot. We used to send her to the groomers but she can't walk round there anymore plus she hates the car she's always sick. We have took on the job of bathing her and shaving her, I've bought a big dog bath that she can fit in comfortably plus always use warm water, she always shattered after a bath. We take her outside lay her down on a comfortable spot then shave her, she has so much hair it takes hours to get her down to where she feels cooler.
The heat really gets to her, she will pant alot so we have fans all over the house especially for her, one that stands right next to her at night, she does prefer the winter to the Summer, us ladies going through Menopause will totally understand that,
I am determined to spend as much time as possible with her, hug her at every opportunity to show her how much she is loved. I'm dreading her time, it will kill hubby as she is his favourite they have a lovely connection. Our home is changing to much its going to feel so empty.
I've been thinking a lot about Geordie and when he went. Day before he went he started hunting (he was a hunting dog when we got him), getting stuck under the furniture and forgetting who we were. On his last night hubby was supposed to have been in hospital for his hip replacement but the hospital moved it back a couple of days, If hubby had been in hospital he wouldn't have been there for Geordie as he died that night. Me and hubby were watching TV, I watched Geordie leaving the room thinking he was going for a drink, After a couple of minutes I noticed he hadnt come back as he already came back to lay next to me. Glen went out check them shouted got me, Geordie was laying on the kuchen floor, Gone just like that. I hugged him for hours. He's missed so much.
