She's evolved into a lovely young feline as you can see. But I'm not sure she ever did grow into those ears ;) 18 months ago in Visalia she would occasionally grant me her presence on my lap for a few moments. But she'd let me know I'd ruined her moment by jumping down if I dared pet her.
Not anymore, she'll sleep on my lap up to an hour and let me pet her the whole time. Ohhh how she loves to have her ears rubbed. Almost as much as her head and chin. She now lets me massage her entire long body, too. It soothes me as much as her.
He still walks as briskly as the first day I brought him home. I told his vet I thought he'd be slowing down by now. Her response was that doesn't have to happen for several years yet, in part because he still weighs the same he weighed at one year old when dogs are considered adult. His heart murmur is asymptomatic now so no meds necessary. But I do have to keep his bronchodialator tablets on hand just in case he goes into labored breathing. Seems he has more of that in summers. This photo shows him on the lap of our Sister Mills on a recent visit. I'm told he can come more frequently to work with me once the loud noises of our renovation is over. I really miss not getting to watch him love on my Dementia Sisters by going with me everyday like at a previous facility. I was taking him on one of my day's off to other facilities, but recently my Audi needed a $5,500 repair (I couldn't do) so I took out a non op permit on it and we can't go anymore. But he's still loving, still makes Annie keep a distance of at least three inches or he nips the air in her direction and.....he loves to cuddle and kiss my chin.
