I found her at a pound on Long Island
a mutt
she barked and was jumping at the sides of her stall
i thought-"nope- that one's too hyper for me!"
They told me she was 9 years old--
a rescue from Hurricaine Katrina
People kept adopting her and bringing her back
i said-"she's too hyper to be 9- too hyper for me!"
shows to go how wrong you can be
she had hip dysplasia when i got her, had a hernia, also had been in a Motor Vehicle Accident
We used to walk all over Beelerose-- hours
of walking--
it was great.
Then, I came out here to "help my son thru his divorce"
ugh
sold the house, trusted son with money-
stupid expectations
She's about 14 now--sleeps 22 out of 24
I make her food
homemade chicken both-chicken breasts, carrots, sweet potatos
celery, separately I make brown rice; I pop open
fish oil and lecithin caps into her food
I love this old dog-
the only truly nice place to be besides up a mountain or Red Rock
is the dog parks
When good weather- we go everyday
she just lies there--
sometimes i get her to walk
but
this winter she developed Irritable Bowel
and she bleeds from pain meds vet gave me for arthritis.
She makes life sane
i waken from dreams- there again- or under one of my brothers' friends-
i touch on her presence with me--all's well
the paralysis , the silent screams go away-
I love Crackers.

That is so cute. Give Crackers a little pet behind the ears from me.
