<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Everyone,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Sorry for not being around a lot but I'm back to
work, working as much as I can to compensate the "broken leg" time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Xaxa, our sweet baby-boy senior is having quiet
days and not so quiet days an quiet days and not so quiet ones. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Eating is what he loves the most and he has had
days when he will eat ,and some he won't. The vet said that anything that
appeals to him is allright. Dadperson gets so apprehensive, like "is he going to
eat or not".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This man (Dadperson) has bought every food he knows
Xaxa loves, every medicine the doc has prescribed. Has bought supplements and
all.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It saddens me a lot to see his pain as he best
friend becomes really a "grampa" : sleeping a lot more, missing (some times) the
place to "go". But he get happy as he see that Xaxa still barks to the
neighbor, still enjoying snuggling, enjoy me singing to him and the most
important, almost no cough, maybe 2 a day, that compared to one all the
time is amazing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>By the loss of appetite and the fact the he will be
15 years old in almost 3 months, we <EM>know </EM>his time is coming. As
Dadperson says, it is hard to see your best friend gets weaker every
day.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But he has talked to some dog savvy people who are
showing what a good life Xaxa has had, and he start to be not so
devastated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We are not taking Xa to the vet every 2
weeks anymore because we know what his problems are and that he is not getting
better because at this age..., well, you know what I mean. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'd like to ask for drool for both dadperson and
Xaxa. I never saw dadperson as he is now. And my boy is getting old
everyday. I love both and would appreciate a rainfall of drool on them, the kind
of that even the slave drool together.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If any of you would like to send him a support
email you can email me and I'll give you his email address.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thank you so much for all the support and we are
sending drool to those who need.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Virginia, Xaxa, Violeta and Dadperson</FONT></DIV>
