Good News!

Yesterday I had to go to an ophthalmologist for an appointment. It was a recheck visit. I saw him last one year ago, and before that one and a half years ago. I have some dark spots on my left iris, that started to appear and change and grow. Well the good news is that Dr. Zigler the specialist still feels that these are benign pigment changes, not malignant growths. That means I still get to keep my eye! (Yes if they are decided to be malignant it is recommended that my eye comes out.) Here is a photo from last February. The spot at nine o'clock is bigger now but you get the idea.

End of the Season

I just have to say that I am a little upset today as all the agility equipment is being put away for the winter. Mom said with all the rain and then snow expected this week and how big she is now, it is time. Oh well, I guess we still get to go to the training hall where Mom teaches to use the equipment there. It looks like winter is coming and that means more hiking, less agility!

Fall Leaves

We have a lot of trees at our house and so we have a lot of leaves to clean up this time of year. You can see me having fun jumping through them and playing while my Mom rakes them up!

Happy "Howl"oween

Happy Halloween from us to you!

Cute Photos

As much as my Mother would not normally recommend that people let their small children hold the leash out on a walk, she knows how good Kirya and I are on leash and she is right there to make sure all is well. They really are cute photos!

My New Cousin!

Life definitely moves full circle. With death there is always rebirth. This past week I had to say Goodbye to my litter mate Spy, but also my Mom's sister got a new puppy. She is a little Australian Shepherd (looks a bit like a Border Collie) named Vienna. She has been up to our house a couple times to socialize and meet her new extended family. She is a lovely little girl, and we all had lots of fun together!Enjoy the photos.

Goodbye Spy-We Will Miss You

Yesterday was a very hard day for my Mom and her friend-Spy's Mom. Spy is my litter mate, I have talked about him here in the past and posted pictures. Yesterday he passed to the bridge. We all got to see him on Monday as we went for one last quiet walk and Spy's Mom asked my Mom to take some photos. Yesterday my Mom was with her friend and Spy when the vet came to the house to help him pass over. She was upset when she came home even though we know it was the best thing for him. He has had a good life but his medical problems have just got to be too much for him. Saying goodbye is just never an easy thing to have to do. And even though Spy did not live with all of us he spent lots of time here, visited often, and did lots of things with us. My Mom has known him since we were 2 weeks old, and I have known him for my whole life. We will miss you Spy.
