My Sweet Baby Girl

My sweet baby girl She's my sweet baby girl. It's hard for me to believe that she's been my companion for almost fifteen years. In dog years that is the equivalent of 98 years of age! She's in good health for such an old dog, ok maybe she is getting a little hard of hearing and her breath does leave a lot to be desired, but so what. She's my best friend. She's been through so much with me over these past years. Failed relationships, a failed marriage, a couple of brain tumors, step kids, so many moves, different jobs, different interests, but always there was us together. She would travel with me every where! As she aged and got a little cranky I would leave her at home to ease her tired bones & to be gentle on her arthritis and yet she is always there to greet me at the door! A bark and a smile and a nudge of that long poodle nose to let me know she was happy I was home. We'd snuggle up in the sun together out in the yard or stretch out on the floor sharing a pillow while watching tv. Her paw stretched out over my arm and her tail thumping her contentment. When we lost Buster, her companion cocker spaniel I know she was sad because she would look for him all over the house and spent days going to sleep with his favorite toy next to her. They'd been together since the day she was born. Buster was there with me at the grooming shop where I worked watching Kini come into this world. When I brought her home he watched over her like a vigilant & ernest father. They would travel to grooming competitions & dog shows with me. Buster moved on to where all my beloved pets go but Kini had Wahoo to console her at least. He would play with her & cuddle with her on the days he didn't go to work with my ex-husband. She watched Wahoo grow up & eventually move out when my ex & I split. By then Kuma was in our lives and he worships the ground she prances her dainty feet upon. Kini loves children, even as she ages, she continues to favor babies through pre-teens. I really don't know why other than the fact that she can wheedle food out of them faster than you can say what ham sandwhich?
