How we love our doggies! This morning when I let our precious little chihuahua, Spike, out to do his business, he couldn't make it back up the steps of our deck. Something is wrong with his back legs and has been getting worse. He just sat there unable to get back into the house. I had to go upstairs and pull on my pants so I could go out and get him. When I returned, he was still there, patiently waiting. He had that pitiful look in his eyes that said he knew his days were numbered. I know now that it is only a matter of time before we have to put him to sleep, and the thought just tears at me. Looking at your cute photos reminds me of happier times.
