56. I'm sorry for your loss of Jake. 💔🐾

Mon Dec 15, 2025, 02:55 PM

Monday

We have Chihuahua we picked up from a rescue organization 10 years ago. They thought he may be 2 yo at that time. I was in the hospital for a month just days after we picked up, so he bonded with Mr. GentryDixon. I've had more bites and wounds from getting too close to his person. I've noticed in the last year he has mellowed out & will allow me to get close to the two of them together. I guess in his old old age it's too much trouble to be on guard at all times.
