I Am A Cranky Old Man
Fabi’s condition declined over the weekend to the point where she was in a large amount of pain and could no longer hold herself up to eat or drink. I sadly made the difficult decision to let her go on Monday afternoon.
She will be missed more than my words can convey.
Fabienne turns ten today* and believes the Independence Day celebrations are in her honor.
* I estimated her birth date to around 4 July 2007. I picked the Fourth as it’s easy to remember.
Fabi loves to run across the large round hay bales at our farm.
I am dog sitting for my friends for a few days and even though it’s been hot the dogs needed a walk tonight. We obviously did not see any vermin because I still have both arms.
An impromptu visit to the dog park at lunchtime. For the 9th of March it was pretty warm and sunny.
Fabi enjoyed digging in the snow on a recent visit to Guanella Pass.
A quick photo of Emily, Lucy and Fabi at the summit of Boreas Pass. Yes, Lucy was still wearing a soft cast at this point. About a week after this photo was taken, the vet removed Lucy’s bandage completely and so far everything looks good. She places the foot “correctly” now and does not appear to be rolling and slapping the bottom of her foot, which was the cause of the ulcers.
She’s still on “light activity” for a while as she learns to live with fused bones and a titanium plate in her leg.
I recently came across this “vintage” footage of Fabi playing with a very young Emily at Mike’s house. (Also starring a younger Mike)
