I have been missing from this blog for a couple of weeks, as Precsh had a health set back, and I thought this may be the end of her life. But she is better now, and I have no clue as to the reality of her lifepsan. We are just taking it one day at time ... every walk as it is her last.
I am very depressed right now. She has these dark circles under her eyes. It is time for us both to sleep.

"You Did The Right Thing"
Last Sunday we took a walk in Precious' favorite park that has lots of dog friends. The snow was beautiful near the marshy river. It had snowed several inches the previous Friday. A sight that I thought was amazing, was the millions of doggie foot prints in the snow beside the walkway. It seems that all dogs like snow, except for Precsh. She never did like walking or playing in the snow, and always gave me this look of "do we have to?" Well, we saw many dogs having snow fun ... but Precsh mostly just enjoyed the usual "dog meet and greet."
As we were walking, we had a few nice supportive comments from the other people in the park. One man yelled across, that we were good people and that we "did the right thing, by not putting her down." I agree with him and it was nice to hear that again. We also came across another woman who said that a friend of her's had a welsh corgi that had been put down, even after the idea of a doggie wheelchair was discussed with her. She was happy to see Precsh doing so well in her cart, and wished that her friend had gotten one too. So many people are impressed by Precious' wheels. I feel she is being a good ambassador for the handicapped pet. Hopefully, when all of these people's pet's grow old or infirmed, they will give their beloved animals a chance with wheels.

Just in from a W*A*L*K
If you have ever lived with a dog, you know what I mean by spelling the word W A L K .
My friend Larry stopped by with his 2 little girls, Kaitlyn (almost 5) and Megan (3), and their beautiful new nanny Kris (from Brazil). The girls got to watch me put Precsh's diaper on, her sweater on ("dogs don't wear clothes"), and put her into her dog wheelchair ("is that her seat belt?"),("what is the leg for?"). And then, "LOOK SHE IS WALKING!" The dog is walking :) Precsh was happy to see them all, and ran ahead of the girls. I think she was proud and showing off. Precsh and I walked with them over to the Boston Children's Museum. They were such good sweet little girls today. We left them off at the museum and then continued our usual walk down the Fort Point Channel, to the Boston Harbor, around the Federal Courthouse, Fan Pier, and the Institute of Contemporary Art, and then back again. Precious loves to say "hi" to people as they pass, and most of them have questions about why she is in a dog wheelchair. I feel like I need a a sign that says "She has a disease that would be similar to Lou Gehrig's Disease." But actually, this is one of few ways people actually talk to you in Boston, as they are usually hard nuts to crack. The usual comments are "awww," "poor dog," "she's doing really well!," "good for you," "you are a good mom." And you know what? That I am ... a good dog and kitty mom ... :)
