My Girl Bean

Two weeks ago we brought Miss Bean to the traveling vet here. We were concerned about her breathing. He examined her and said with confidence that she was in tip top shape for a dog her age.

She had a very bad day Wednesday, she was in considerable pain. After a few calls to our vet in the city, we brought her there early early Thursday morning.

The vet discovered a growth on her thyroid and after further testing it was determined that she has thyroid cancer and it has spread to her lungs. She is home with us, for her last weeks or months. It is such heartbreaking news.

She's the last of our Inuit team.

She's such a good old girl.

Miss Beans Breath ...

30 Seconds at the Beach

We went to the beach yesterday afternoon with Miss Bean. I love the colour of the water and the sound of the waves!

Sweet Beanie!

Early this morning I was uncomfortable as I have slept on the couch since my surgery so I moved to my beading studio aka Thomas's bedroom. Miss Bean was delighted to find me there when she came in this morning and decided to join me. She is sure turning into a house dog!

she was much too warm

but would not budge from this cozy new bed!

Dog Walk

It was such a beautiful day yesterday we took the dogs out earlier than normal for their afternoon walk, and went to the five mile bridge and then part way in to Minnow Lake. Kinoje is not fond of the snow mobile bridge and would not go near it. Old dog sledding memories for him. Big spaces for little dog feet to slip through.

Kinoje feeling much better, getting some love!

Cali (miss bean) is the rolling queen

the dogs love to chase "peanuts", jackpine cones

Bean, my Valentine!

Who could resist this gorgeous face, a heart shaped face at that!

My Valentine!

She is a sweetie pie girl!
