I’m still around!

I’ve been missing in action for a while so just thought I better get Mum to post something up quick to let you all know I’m still around and ok! Mum has been off playing in that very intruiging looking cold white stuff (I think it’s called snow?) for a while but now she’s back!

Here’s a sneak peak from a post coming soon…

Oh and before you all think otherwise, the pup is called Izzy – no unfortunately she’s not a new sister – but she did come to visit me for a whole weekend! Full post of our adventures coming soon!

Basking

Charlotte Reeves — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 22:00:17 +0000

It’s been getting a bit cooler at night time lately. I sleep under a blanket and sometimes it falls off when I dream cos I flail around so much. When I get cold I go in and wake Mum up so she gets up and puts my blanket back on me!

In the morning when I first go outside, I like to stand in front of our garage door.

The sunshine goes straight onto the door and I’ve worked out that when I stand in front, it somehow makes the other side of me warm as well! Mum said it’s something to do with the light bouncing off the door. Pfft as if I am going to believe that. Balls bounce, not light!

I like to swap sides every now and then just to make sure I get even warmness.

If ever I get bored just standing basking in the sunshine, there are always little ants and crawly things to watch!

I really need a new coat, I tried mine on from last year and well, let’s just say its a bit too short. My bum sticks out the back! How rude. So Mum is going to get me a new one. I will make sure she takes photos, I might even try some modelling for you all!

Goodbye my sweet beautiful Kaya

We lost Kaya last night. She was diagnosed with a form of mouth cancer last week after having breathing issues on Monday night. She had a large tumour in her teeth roots and jaw, and one in her nasal passages. Unfortunately, they were inoperable, so she was just put on some anti-inflams and pain killers. Since Monday she was struggling to get any air through her nose, and because of the way dogs breathe, it meant she couldn’t sleep and was in a bad way at night. During the day, if she was outside running around panting and breathing through her mouth, she was fine, but as soon as she tried to rest, she couldn’t.

We made the heartbreaking decision to let her go peacefully in our arms last night. It’s the hardest thing I have ever had to do and I feel like there is now a huge part of me missing. I keep expecting her to come moseying around the corner, or see her lying on the couch waiting for her breakfast.

She spent the last few days surrounded by her favourite people, including her Grandma, and doing her favourite things. We took her to the beach on Saturday where she swam and ran around and met up with Zephyr and his owner. On Sunday we had a trip to the local park with Spot and Boss. I am glad in some ways that she was still enjoying life right up until the end, I just didn’t want to put her through another night of not being able to sleep.

I can’t even begin to describe how I am feeling at the moment. It was so hard to let her go, but I think she has gone on to a better place where she can run and play as much as she likes and have big long snoozes in the sun, on her back with legs in the the air, without being in any discomfort.

Kaya was a very special girl and I feel so fortunate to have been able to share her with so many people all around the world. She had a big impact in such a short time and really was like having a person around rather than a dog. At the moment, I have lost her voice, but I’m hoping that with time she will be able to reach through the barrier that now lies between us and talk through me again.

I have photos of her last days that I can’t look at right now, but I will post them when I can.

My eventual plan is to write a book about Kaya, using the stories and photos I have taken since she was just a little puppy. It will be hard and I am not sure when I will be able to start it, but I would love for anyone who reads this blog and loved Kaya, to send me a message for her that I can include in the book. You can email messages for Kaya to charlotte@cmrdesign.net

Run free, beautiful girl. We will always love you.

My Faces

Charlotte Reeves — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 21:42:45 +0000

Being a professional dog model, I have to have a wide range of facial expressions available for use. As a doggy, it can be a bit hard sometimes – so I try and practice as much as possible. Especially when Mum has her camera out.

This is my “enquiring” face. Also known as the “looking at Mum like she’s some kind of weirdo” face.

Here’s my “questioning” and “alert” faces.

Wow practicing all these looks makes my face hurt! I better sit down and rest before attempting the last one – my “I can do no wrong” face.

I bet there are lots of doggies out there who are very good at doing this face! It’s pretty much a pre-requisite for living with humans (great for getting out of trouble when you’ve done something they didn’t want you to – aka “wrong”).

By the way, happy Valentines Day to all you guys! We hope you have a great day with your Valentines – love and licks from Kaya and Luna! xxxooo
