So sorry. I know how much you loved him.
Or she might not! Hard to say. 
Buttons and we had an out-of-town sleepover last night. It was very fun, especially as she seems to be feeling much better. On the way home today we stopped for ice cream, which was also fun and made us all feel better.

Buttons loves the big pile of blankets, huh?
Thats what its looking like! She loves when my son sits. Then she sits on the arm rest and looks adoringly at him.
But Me? Nope. I’m like, the interloper.
You’re suspect! All cats everywhere:

My 16yo barn cat Ozzy has decided to be a house panther from now on. Having a cat in the house is very different from a large working dog. But I love Ozzy, has he is the best cat ever.
I bottle fed him as a kitten. We found him in a hay wagon with his litter mates. He hunt like no other cat and he did spend many hours purring away in my winter jacket when I was coaching long cold hours.

Good kitty. He’ll be a great house panther. 
What a good face!
My wife shared a funny quote with me yesterday she found on social media. It went something like the following:
“Some day you will find that person who truly loves you, accepts you for who you are, always wants to be near you, and is obsessed with making you happy. Some day you will finally get the love you have always deserved. And on that day you will realize it is a dog.”
Haha so true

Almost lost a dog last night. Was walking my three little guys. Two of the dogs are deaf, and one of them likes to bark at everything. It’s a happy bark. He’s just excited.
Anyway, we were almost home and he started barking at a big black dog across the street about the same time the neighbors opened their gate to enter the backyard. The big black charged across the street at my barking dog. I was able to block him, and then he turned on my little min-pin. Got him in his mouth and was shaking him like a ragdoll. I kicked the shit out of the big dog twice, and then grabbed it by the scruff with both hands and picked it up as high as I could. He dropped my little guy. The neighbors were almost across the street and I gave them their dumb dog.
The min-pin was lucky as hell. He had exactly one little puncture on his chest near his right leg. He was limping pretty bad last night, but I rubbed every bit of him and the only place he reacted was at the little bite on his chest. This morning, he wasn’t even limping.
The min-pin sat on my lap all evening and ate cheddar cheese. My oldest guy wasn’t even phased. The one who had done the barking looked like he felt guilty. He wouldn’t come near the min-pin, and ended up going in the laundry room and going to sleep.

Glad the pooches are ok.
Sorry to hear about the neighbors though. Hope it blows over peacefully & amicably.
They neighbors came over after they put their dog up. I was still on my porch checking my dog out. They were very concerned and very apologetic. Things happen. Honestly, if my dog hadn’t been barking, I don’t even think it would have happened.

Thats cool. Those things can kinda spiral sometimes. Glad its all good.
My neighbors used to let their St. Bernard walk out and about on his own, but my dog wasn’t friendly to it. I tried to explain that but they wouldn’t hear any of that, and acted like I was the bad guy. Then words exchanged, etc.
There was a moment when I saw on his face that he was pissed with the way I was manhandling his dog, and I was super pissed at first also. But it was just an unfortunate thing that happened. I’m 100% sure they would have paid for any vet bills if that had been necessary.
