Thanks Elly for this poem

Yesterday evening when our Xena wanted to get of the couch, her leg got stuck on one or another way. She obviously had a lot of pain and it was very hard to calm her down. She was really upset.

After a good hour, she relaxed a bit. Nevertheless she wanted to stay close to us. After some time more we were able to put her on the couch so she would be more comfortable.

Later that evening we decided to take her for her evening walk without the other two dogs.  Walking was very difficult for her. She could not put weight on her back leg.

During the night we made sure she could not get up the stairs so she would not be able to fall.

This morning she still had problems walking and we decided to go to the vet. After the first examination the vet wanted to take an x-ray.

The outcome was very bad though, Xena had a tumor in her back leg that ate away most of her bone. She was also in a lot of pain. The vet said that she could give her very strong painkillers to get her over the weekend. We then took the decission not to do that.

In our opinion the interest of the dog goes first and we did not want Xena to suffer.

So we decided to let her go, she has deserved her rest without any further suffering.

This grant old lady born on the 4th of June 1999, became 12 years and 8 moths old.

We will always remember her.

Just a picture this time and as they say …… a picture says more then a thousand words

Luckily there are no fish in there

About a year ago we had to bring Pucca (Dynamicats Sunroof) to a new home because she was not happy in the group. Today we went for a visit at her new address. She looked very happy and did not want to get to close to us. Most likely she thought that we came to pick her up

Of course we had no intention in that direction. We were able to get a couple of pictures anyway

Today we got new pictures from one of our kittens from Layla P. This lady lives in France.

We think she looks very good

Today is a day of remembrance. Exactly a year ago Amerrykoons SimplyRed passed away. We only had him for a very short time due to his sickness but he nevertheless left a everlasting impression. We will never forget him.

In February 2011 when we were in Berlin we went to a little gallery to see if we could get something special. They were selling glass objects and we saw a little glass flask. We Unfortunatelydid not buy it then because we wanted to look to other things to. In October we were also in Berlin and went to the gallery again and now we decided to buy the little flask. As it was still there it had to be destiny.

SimplyRed

As you might have guessed. The content of this flask is Amerrykoons SimplyRed

One of our Weimaraners Xena who is 12,5 years old at the moment has a little problem. She is cold all the time, especially when she has to go outside. We found a solution browsing the internet at http://www.forestfleece.co.uk .

This `company` makes custom made jackets for dogs (and cats). We ordered a nice jacket and a couple of days ago the fleece jacket arrived.

Xena tried the jacket and she loves it
