I swear Patty gets older and Gavin gets younger each day.  While idiot white dog is prancing about and scolding me for more food all the time, Ms. Patty is off signing up for a SS check or something. She’s slowing down so much it’s as if she were the older dog. Gavin has a couple of years on her.

     Like most others who adore their dogs, I find it difficult to watch the aging process on them. I want them to stay around many more years.

     Unlike Gavin, Patty’s kidneys aren’t doing all that great. She has some tumors that are beginning to concern us. And this crying in pain off and on brings me to tears. All I can do is make her more comfortable. We are not ready for either of our dogs to leave us yet.

     Keep Patty in your hearts and have a good one!
