The dog days of June/July…

Yesterday, my Missy, the border collie who snuck into my house in Feb of 2013 after someone dumped her in the National Forest, and who found me after 2 harrowing and scary weeks, had to have oral surgery yesterday. She is Lady’s big sis and teacher/mentor. She is not feeling well and needs special care, so that is what I am doing for the next week or so. I’ll be keeping an eye on things, but mostly, taking care of her.

Lady destroyed Missy’s bed, but she still prefers it.
Missy, skin & bones and covered with ticks the day she walked into my house. Now, she is the only fat BC I know.

  • I am so glad to hear she has picked you and you her. She is a beautiful dog!! Lucky she has you. I wish her a quick recovery.

  • My cat, Ferris, just had all his teeth removed. It's been about 3 weeks and he's back to eating normal food. He is still spoiled twice a day with wet food, but that's because he's the only Ferris in the house!

  • Best to you, Kate. And to Missy and Lady. Healing vibes sent your way. Hang tough, Missy--oral surgery sucks, so to speak, but the pain passes.

  • Yes Michael, I believe we have little idea of the intentional events in our lives, that I describe as, Destiny~driven, from on High ~☆~

  • Aw Missy, I hope you heal well and feel better real soon! Having dental work sucks. You're a champ! <3
