My baby girl, Mela, is getting old and I'm so sad about it. It feels like it happened overnight. One day she's sprinting around the house and the next she can barely get up. She's lost more weight and her spine and hip bones are sticking out. Some times when she stands up she has a lateral shift in her spine and she has to limp around until it straightens out. Which usually involves a lot of her legs giving out. It just dawned on Wes and I that she has kind of reached her life expectancy; it was just sooner than we expected. She's on some joint medication now, so hopefully she'll be with us and healthy for awhile more. What makes me the very saddest is that I won't be able to take her running anymore, and she really loved her runs.

That is so sad. She is adorable. I can't even imagine our little hyper Eddie that way, but I guess it will happen. Btw...I'm having a hard time picturing your dad rocking out to The Eye of the Tiger, that's hilarious!
Poor Mela girl! She is the sweetest dog ever...even if she did barf and poo in every room in my house.
Funny how they have such a special place in your heart despite all the work they cause you. We think we have found a new home for Roxy and every time I think about it I start crying. That was what I wanted, right? Hope Mela is around for a long time still!
This makes me sad for you. I know that as much as you've cussed her, that you love her.
I am totally trying not to cry right now. I really shouldn't read blogs at work for this very reason. I know I talked to you on the phone about it, but it still makes me sad. Like I said, I never knew that I would/could care so much about an animal.
That makes me so sad! I actually just finished reading marley and me. I finished the sad part at work and I was really trying hard not to cry.Anyway, don't read it anytime soon cuz it will make you sad.
