So, one small step at a time. There hasn't been meat in this house for almost a year now and that is working out just fine. There has been no milk for months, and that is just fine too! Next step... CHEESE!! Eeeks!!
Also, we have a new doggie, after the horrible experience with poor Polly. I'll always say she was the sweetest dog, but she was not an ideal pet to have here with Fletcher. It turned out that Polly had cancer and was actually very close to end stage when she was here. One more month and she went downhill very fast, was barely able to stand, was shaking and wouldn't eat. She went to the vet and it was confirmed that she was near death. She was put down and buried in the back field at the Ranch. At least she had love and fun before she passed. Lord know what happened to the poor girl for the first 6 years of life, but for the last 3 months, she was well loved.
The dog we have now, is 2 (we're still deciding on his birthday). He and Fletcher get a long, although Fletch has been pretty jealous. We're working on making sure he still feels like the #1 dog. Gizmo (the new guy) is hilarious. He can be outside off leash and not run away, he loves to play and just has the oddest little body. He's a Jack Russell mix, just not sure what he is mixed with! haha... he's a lot of fun!
I have broken my tailbone, so the boys (dogs), have been great company!!
Fletcher and Gizmo at bedtime!
Little Gizzie (Gizmo)! Best ears ever!!
