Paw Prayers Please!

Tucker isn't eating and we're not sure if this is a sign of the end or if he's just taking a break from food, but he's extremely weak and won't stand up much or walk around. This is something that has gotten progressively worse over the past week. Please send him your biggest paw thoughts and prayers. He doesn't appear to be in any kind of pain, so we'll keep trying to get him to eat and keep him comfortable. That's about all I can write through my tears right now as I think of what is coming soon. Thank you for all of your love and caring.

Tucker's Momma

Come look at the card my momma made!

You can tell that my momma's been thinking about my age lately because her newest card made for her new Etsy shop is one of those sappy "sorry for the loss of your dog" things. Here, I'll show you what it looks like, then you tell ME what you think. I'll pass your comments along to her. No that's not me in the bucket silly! She used a picture from something called a paint chip or sample or something like that. It's also not my paw print, my tootsies are much bigger than that and they don't have flowers on them! I think it's kinda cute! Oh, her shop that she opened with her human daughter is Eco Chique Boutique . It makes me a little sad that someone will need this card. Maybe I'll get her to make some Birthday cards and some other more happy occasion cards for us furries. I'm just a little over one month from my 14th Birthday and they've promised me a really BIG party if I make it, so you know how much I love my treats and there will be lots of them for me and my furry friends to eat. I wouldn't miss it for the world!!! Stay tuned for more information.

Hey I have eyes!

So the other day my humomma decided to cut my bangs so she could see my eyes. She thinks since all I can see now is shadows, if anything at all, that getting the hair away from my eyes will help. Can't honestly say it made a difference, but makes her feel better anyway. Oh, my sisters Katie and Libby were really worried about what she was doing, so they stood guard.

Supper time!

I got to go for a ride!

Yesterday I got to go with my family to a big celebration of my human momma's parents' 60th Anniversary. Since it is a two hour drive both ways and I sometimes have accidents if left inside for longer than 7 or 8 hours they decided to let me go with them. What fun it was riding in the back of my human sister's SUV! I got all kinds of attention at the party, but can't tell you who they were cuz I've never met most of them, can't see them and have a poor memory these days. My favorite was this tiny little human though:

Here's my human daddy getting me ready for the trip home:

and here I am during the ride home. They said I slept most of the way down and back, plus most of the time during the party. All I know is it made me feel pretty special to get to go with them while Katie, Libby and Charlie had to stay behind. Guess that's what you call old age privileges, huh?

I'm on my humomma's socks!

See! Bet ya didn't believe me, huh? She says it makes her feel close to me while she's at work. Silly lady!

Good report from the vet!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still here, just not writing much these days. My vet gave me the thumbs' up during yesterday's visit and said if I make it to my 14th Birthday in October she will be highly impressed. Hey, doesn't she know that us Wires are an incredible breed worthy of awe and adoration?  The prednisone is keeping the histamines low and the tumors aren't showing back up and the great news is that I've put on 2 pounds! My humomma was scared that the bigger belly was another tumor, but the doc said it wasn't and was just from my eating habits returning to normal. I say it's thanks to all that great special soft canned stuff the doc gave my hudaddy to feed me! He adds it to my hard food along with some brewer's yeast with garlic. Yummy! Speaking of food, I wanted to show you some of the pears that my humomma picked off the tree next to our driveway. This is just part of what they got. I don't think I like pears, but I bet Katie and Libby do. Guess we'll find out after they're ripe!
