Sad news

This is my little Pebbles.  She is the only picture of my children I will post.  I have had Pebbles for almost nine years now.  It's hard to believe that she's been in my life for that long.  But I remember the day I got her like it was yesterday.  It's just crazy to think of her being in my life for as long as she has.  She is the best dog I have ever had in my life.  Okay, that's not saying much since she's the only dog I have ever owned.  My family has had pets but this is the first one that was my own responsibility.  I pay for her food, clothes, and shoes.  She is beyond spoiled but I don't care what other people think of me for spoiling her the way I do.

I am sad to say that the other day I discovered she has three loose teeth.  I was wondering why it was taking her so long to finish her dinner, why she'd take forever to eat those doggie treats my husband bought her last week, and why she seemed so lethargic for the past week.  She's due for her shots, so next week I am going to take her to Banfield and have her shots updated and get her loose teeth removed.  

I hate when she gets teeth removed at Banfield.  They put her under anethesia and when she wakes up from it, she's so loopy and walks all funky.  But this needs to be done, so we are going to get it taken care of.  The last time she went to Banfield, she had two teeth removed.  A couple of years ago, my husband discovered two of her teeth on the carpet.  Now she is going to be needing three teeth removed.  Soon she will have no teeth if her teeth keep falling out or rotting.  But after she gets those teeth removed, I am going to start giving her carrots.  One of my friends told me to give her a carrot a day because it is supposed to help with the removal of plaque and freshen her breath.

I love my dog more than anything in this world.  She has been there for me when my ex-boyfriend and I broke up and I was left broken hearted after he and I went through an extreme tragedy.  She has been by my side, listening to me cry and my problems.  She is the best secret keeper ever!  My only wish for her, other than everlasting life, would be that she get along with my daughter and son.  But I know, chihuahuas don't get along well with children.. but one can only hope and pray they'll get along one day.
