12-7-07 It's Friday!!!

I've been wanting to write for the last few days, but I've been so tired lately. I sit down and stare at the screen... sometimes I think I doze off, but then I think, if I did... I'd probably fall out of my chair? *LOL* Great, another dent in the floor due to my hard head? Sheesh! Its Friday, another glorious Friday. I've had people tell me, we have another storm coming, but I don't see it. The sky is blue and the ocean is beautiful. To me... its just too pretty to have anything be wrong. Unfortunately, I do have one problem today. My poor old German Shepard... who I hope lives until she is 20 yo... is not walking well today. She is 14 1/2 years old... and I know the average life expectancy of a large dog is about 12 years... but I want her to be with me forever. It scares me to see her having trouble walking. She is listing to her left which makes me wonder if she's had a stroke? I don't know. Right now she is laying in front of the window looking every bit the queen she is and watching my neighbor's pit bull puppy. She doesn't see to well anymore, so I know she's just watching the movement and I'm sure, wondering what that tiny thing is out there. I like it when I turn on the animal planet and she watchs tv. I have a picture of her in front of my son's huge tv, she is sitting there staring up at the face of a cat. The tv is so big, the face is bigger than she is... but her eyes are glued to it. I have movies of my other dog, her playmate who died a few years ago... and when I play it for her, she just barks and whines. I know she wonders why he won't come and play with her. Although, on the same video, I have pictures of my cat too. An orange tabby that never got over 5 pounds... but she... Gracie would terrorize poor Keesha, my 65 pound German Shepard to death. Gracie would hide around corners and when she'd hear Keesha coming, Gracie would leap out and grab Keesha around the neck with her claws and bite Keesha's ears. Keesha was so afraid of Gracie... Gracie was a bit evil! Anyway, I know Keesha is old... but I'm still going to miss her like crazy when she goes. Because of my cancer, I also know Keesha will be my last pet and that makes me sad too. I just won't take on another animal when there is not guarentee I'll be here to care for it until the end of its life. So, instead... its off to the shelter to walk the doggies there and care for them. I have enough love for all of them.... but until Keesha dies, she gets all my love... just for her. People and their pets... we're an odd group... aren't we? And I'm proud to be an animal lover... its the one place I know I'll get complete and total unconditional love... every day! Well, enough rambling for now... I think I need a pill... *smile* or two? Take care all and remember... Celebrate Life!!! Kai
