Dog Years



Katya celebrated her 14th birthday today. That is 98 in dog years!
She gave us a little scare yesterday because she was unable to get up. We have known for awhile that she is declining, but it hit me like a ton of bricks to see her unable to stand on her own. I took her in for a check up today. She has lost a lot of weight and has advanced arthritis. The Vet prescribed a new medication and we are hopeful it will put the spring back in her step. She had a great birthday which included running errands with me (she loves to ride in the car). I made her hamburger and rice for dinner and she had a Twinkies for her birthday dessert. Not a bad day for an old lady.
