Gracie is doing well physically she is putting on a little weight each week, she had some cloudy urine and incontinence probably a little infection or irritation so she was on some herbal supplements to clear that up. Emotionally she is working through a few things…Her wound has healed over a few times and she has worried it down to blood again and again. She is worried so she licks. Our oldest girl, Cherry Pie aka Cherry Bomb (18 years old) is gently moving toward her final days with us and Grace is very sensitive about the turn of events. We had to bring a dog crate into the house from the shed for Cherry so she doesn’t get the smoosh from the other dogs as she is trying to sleep. 
Gracie does not like Cherry being in the crate and will not go near. When Cherry comes out, she sniffs her all over to check if she is okay. Cherry is not yet ready to leave us, so we are keeping her comfortable and giving her all the attention she wants. She’s a beagle so she would just rather smell stuff, sleep, smell stuff, and cuddle. It will be a tough time for Grace as we move through these final days. Cherry seems to be cool with her transition, she has always been an amazingly collected dog and she really calms the others with how she deals day to day. Such a joy to be around. We are keeping Gracie’s wound wrapped up for now. Here is what it looked like before she licked it.
She is wrapped up now so no pictures of her little bits of damage. It heals in a day and she goes a few days without messing and then she binges! A few days of calm music and attention will probably put her in a better mood, let’s hope.
Sorry no new pictures of Gracie, I can’t really get down low to get a good picture of her and she is just SO sad she will not look up. Here is an older one from when she started her worrying.
Breaks your heart, right? The glow eyes don’t help. Hang in there Grace! Better Days are coming ‘round! Cherry takes no notice of Gracie, yet Grace is very attached to Cherry just the same. Quite a pair those two.
Happy Saturday, Sweeties!

Oh my…sweet Cherry Pie…give her a cuddle for me too! And one to Grace as well…poor thing. Did you ever get the Thunder Shirt to try for Dove and her? I’ve been curious to know if that helped.
And thank you so much for the BEAUTIFUL Garden Napping giftie! I lubs it!
Good Sunday Rosie! You know we DID get the Thundershirt and it was gigantic. I ordered the wrong size completely.I should have taken into account that although Dove has a very large chest measurement ( Danes have deep V-shaped chests) she is not bulky at all. There was no need for her to have an XXL. The Thundershirt folks take these things back, and donate the castoffs to rescue, great huh? But I have not received the new smaller size yet. We got hit with that big snow storm soon after I got it and I was slow to return it.
Hugs Love-Bucket!

Awww, so sad for you with the end nearing, no matter how braced you think you are for it, you never are, well at least I wasn’t. My heart hurts for you and the pups, Gracie is so sweet! my Charlie was the same way with Raskal as her time was ending too. Such a lucky girl to have so many loving critters (2 and 4 legged) living with you. As always keeping ya’ll in my thoughts, miss you so much! {{hugs}} for all of you!!
Thanks Sandy Honey! Amazingly Cherry Pie seems better today. Gracie has finally fallen asleep to. We are guarded. Often a rally proceeds the last decline. Cherry will have to steadily get better for us to stop our vigil. Its good to see Gracie has called hers off for a time. They both need the rest.
Bless your heart,Sandy!
Mwah!
Oh, it’s so sad to see our beloved pets grow old and start to fade. I have an almost 17 year old little boy, who is also nearing his end, and it breaks my heart. Hope Gracie’s wound heals up soon. Thanks so much for the lovely Garden Napping kit.
Thank you for the lovely freebie – you have a great eye for colour! So sad to hear about the doggies though – our dog is 14 1/2 so I guess we have not got too long left and I am dreading it (another year please??). I wish Cherry Pie peace and you strength and a get well hug for Gracie. Our Lily would not leave her wound alone after surgery and had to have a big plastic cone collar – now THAT was a sad face LOL
Sweet Jojo! I ‘pray’ that your journey with Cherry is peaceful. I just lost my Chelsea-girl on Thursday, right before you posted this. It is so sad! I still miss her just being there ’cause we both stayed home all the time together.
My heart goes out to you, dearest. I’m here if you ever want a shoulder. Now, a leg might be difficult. LOL (I was getting too sad) So far today, I’ve only cried two times.
The day of this post I went on a little holiday and was not around a pc. It was rough! LOL I’m playing catch-up, now, but, it was worth it. It was so relaxing. I was away so there weren’t the usual ‘reminders’ of Chelsea. My friend that I met up with had her little dog with her. I paid her a lot of attention. I think I was putting my emotions in check by placing a lot of love on her pooch. When I got home, all the emotions came rushing in! LOL We need to feel this way, I suppose. It is our honoring them and their lives. What greater gift for their years of devotion! Blessings, Jodiann!
Take care of you and those sweet pups.
Hugs,
Su
Big hugs to you and your babies. And thanks so much for sharing the sweet freebie!
