Old dogs

Our dog is a senior citizen and we just found out that she has either diabetes or some sort of liver complications through some expensive blood work. Either could be causing the effects of the other.

Either way, we are going to put M down. We are going to try to see if we can make her as comfortable as possible for about another month until we can save up enough to do the deed and maintain our financial cushion. She has been a good guard dog, jungle gym for our toddler, and a wonderful companion for the months that we've had her.

We will miss her, but we won't have to worry about protecting our sugar glider while we bond with it, or M trying to eat the quail once they're outside in the Spring. We won't have to watch her with a newborn or during the elephant stage of this pregnancy. We will miss her soon.
