(PST) You don't know how tempting that is. We have just lost our big
mutt, Ginger, to old age. She was almost 16 and the protection between her
spinal cord and her spine just wore away. She was not in pain, but her rear
legs kept giving out from under her, and her left leg had taken on a life of
it's own. The failure was so rapid that we knew for her comfort we had to put
her to sleep before she became more frightened and puzzled than she already
was. She had been in her own world for the past year, but physically in good
shape, when the physical went ..... well we did what was very hard for us, but
we hope better for her.
Now it is just Raul, my husband and me. Raul is a 7 month old Chi puppy, I am
61, but my husband is soon to be 84 and not in good health. I am treasuring our
time together as a small family, but I know that it will be just Raul and me in
the foreseeable future.
When it is down to just the two of us I would like to travel again, both in my
very small trailer, and to visit friends and family. I am thinking that showing
up on a friends doorstep with one small, well behaved dog, will be better than
showing up with two. Also if it is a place where I can carry in a dog, but not
let it walk in on a leash, I can handle one, but not two. From a practical side
I can see Raul being an only dog. But I would love for Raul to have somebody to
play with and relate to besides me.
I am torn. That is why I melt at each and every picture of a chi in need of a
home. So far none of them have been in my area, I would not ship by air, and my
husbands health prevents me from traveling overnight. Each day I look at the
dogs advertised by the local pound and I am grateful that they are all too big.
If a homeless Chi showed up on my doorstep I would fold, and I am not sure that
would be wise.
