My precious pups just had birthdays. Oscar just turned 14 years old on October 23rd. He has been such a joy and a blessing to me for so many years and it's only been in the last year that age is beginning to show on my sweet pup. He can no longer hear or see very well but still knows exactly when it is time to eat. After years of sleeping in the bed with me, Oscar and I 'mutually' decided a few months ago that it was time for him to move to a bed on the floor. He is getting the best sleep he's had in 14 years and I can't complain much either. Super glad he came up with that idea.
Cooper was born on November 5, 2004. He was a "gift" to Jeff that year for Christmas. Jeff wanted a dog and I wanted another weenie dog in the family so "Coopy" is what we ended up with. Jeff initially wanted to name him TANK because he was not afraid of anything. That fearless attitude did not last and he has since earned his Wiener Dog status. Cooper became paralyzed almost 2 years ago and we had emergency back surgery done. We were not sure if he would ever walk again and now he runs around the back yard chasing rabbits.
Since Andrew joined our little family, life has been more difficult for these guys but they are adjusting well and we love them for not biting him...yet.
So, Happy Birthday to my sweet Oscar and Cooper! Thanks for all the great years and the many more to come.
