Dogs are so much like kids, they do the darnedest things! I was working on my computer, Yuki’s bed at my feet. We’d been talking, she’d doze, wake up, doze. It got really quiet one time and I looked down to this! How could I resist taking a picture. Worth a thousand words right? So [...]

Knowing Yuki will not be ambulatory at least right away, and knowing she will also need to be lifted, rotated so as not to get bedsores and also has to have physical therapy 4 times a day, Jerry and I bought her a red wagon and made a platform for her bed so I can [...]
