Friday, I was with a dear friend as she went through the horrible decision of putting her dog to sleep. Nigel was a sweet boy who unfortunately wasn't well and a prisoner in his own mind. He was Lupe's first friend after we moved and they hit it off so quickly. Nigel was calm and happy when Lupe was around. We took them for walks together and made up stories about what they did when we were not around.
Today I found out that another dear friend and co-worker lost one of her dogs last night. Riley was a doll and just a happy guy. Riley helped me through a really horrible point in my life by reminding me that there is a thing called unconditional love. When I couldn't have Lupe with me, Riley was there. He was always happy to see me when I got "home" from work and even after I hadn't seen him a while, he remembered who I was.
My thoughts and prayers are with them and their families. I will truly miss them both and hope that they are in that forever dog park in the sky.

Dog Fight!!!
Lupe got into a doggie fight on Friday with her BFF Nigel. They are okay and talking to each other again, but there was some blood drawn...and it was Lupe's.
She's okay, but has an infected paw at the nail. It looks like Nigel got possessive of his food (which was removed, but he didn't know that) and went after Lupe. Lupe must have tried to push him away and got her nail stuck on Nigel's id tag. Some bleeding but she seemed okay.
Saturday, a little tender, but still seemed okay. Sunday VERY tender and a little pus around the nail. So yesterday, I took her to the vet. She has a slight infection and will be on antibiotics (oral and topical) for the next 10 days. Poor little dog. But she got yogurt, doggie crack and a new goose squeaky toy from Nigel and Ryann. :)
Nigel is a sweet boy and Lupe and I love him so its not a huge deal. Fights happen between dogs and this was obviously an accident.
I had to take yesterday off as I really wasn't feeling good all weekend. A beautiful sunny day and both Lupe and I were too weak to move. Its just a house of infection between me and Lupe right now. LOL! I
