Hi der…..I jus checkin in 2 telled u how I doin wif my new family!

I purdy sure I dot it made!

I finks I gots Mommy wrapped around my paw!

What you fink?

Dis wat Mommy say bout me!

 

I can’t begin to tell you how much I (and we all) love Didi. I often look at her and tears fill my eyes, because she’s the most wonderful, loving girl imaginable. She’s so incredibly protective of me, that it’s both flattering and hilarious — hilarious because she has all of three teeth in her mouth.

She sleeps in bed between my husband and me, just like a little person, her head up by the pillows. Once she knows my husband is awake, she begins her most important job: licking his face thoroughly over and over and over again, until it’s perfectly clean (except it never is, because she would keep on licking endlessly). It’s a frequent occurrence that I come out of the shower and immediately stumble upon this scene. 

We recently celebrated her 11th birthday (August 25). She had cancer surgery in May (mast cell, for which she also had surgery in December, a couple of months prior to our adopting her). She’s doing great, despite now missing one toe, and while I hope there isn’t ever another recurrence, should there be she will get the best care. 

I can’t imagine a day without her. She’s a treasure.
