It's My Party and I'll Eat If I Want To


HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRETTY GIRL!!
Calli hit the 5 year mark yesterday and naturally we made a bigger deal out of it than she could care. Gifts included a low-fat treat, big belly rub, and a little bonus kibble to eat for dinner. Mostly, sleep was how she celebrated the big day; snoring the whole day through. Oh to be a dog!
Five is really a milestone for Miss.Calli as her health isn't what we wish it was. We feel extremely grateful for each day we have with her; this birthday was one we didn't feel confident would come around. I truly believe that her failing health has been more significant since the passing of Chubb. I have heard stories of dogs giving up when they lose a mate; I am beginning to believe it. While we hope this isn't the situation, we know that when her time does come, Chubb is waiting for her at the Rainbow Bridge to show her the way. We find true comfort and peace in that. Our hope is for her to live a much longer life as long as she doesn't suffer. Chubb has always been very patient.
So Happy Birthday big girl, only 728 more eats until you are six!
