Poor Bogey…
October 19th, 2009 by Stacey Stone
When you have an almost 18-year-old dog, you never know what to expect when you wake up. Some days she gets up slower than others and most of the time we have to carry her up and down the stairs. Some times she gives us this look like, can’t I just lay here for the rest of the day? And when you are 92 in dog years like Bogey, your parts start to slowly wear out so her tail doesn’t wag as often as it used to. But this morning she decided to surprise us all the way around – Johnny invited me to dance right before we left that house and as we were swaying, Johnny looked down and Bogey was watching us, wagging her tail back and forth to the music. And on her last trip outside, Johnny brought her in, turned around to lock the door and up the entire flights of stairs she leapt right next to her three-year-old sister.
So all that to say, don’t let other people make assumptions about you or how your day is supposed to go… if Bogey can wag her tail and climb the stairs, anything is possible!

Our critters remind us how to live. Our Sam, 11 years young, has been alone since his mom passed at 16 years after Easter. We are bringing him home a sister next week. I can’t wait for the craziness.
