Jipsy on the porch at our place in Castaic. She loved it there. She could roam free, and go on walks with Karen and her pooches. If Jipsy decided to go on those walks that could take hrs, Karen would put the dog dish in front of the door so we knew she was with her. Jipsy also loved to greet everyone at the gate. I think one guy would always give her part of his sandwich, so of course she wanted to greet everyone.
Jipsy has been a great dog, and we will miss her so much. She was pretty old, and her hips were getting bad making it difficult for her to get around. We would even have to help her up at times. Saturday we gave her a bath out in the back yard and noticed that all day she seemed to just be wandering around. She wouldn't take a break and lie down unless we went out and forced her to. Even then, she was up again almost as soon as we turned around. We knew her hip was bothering her so all that pacing must have been painful for her. Usually with all that walking she would drink a lot, but she didn't that day. Finally in the evening we decided it was time to take her in have her put down. It was so hard for us to make that decision, but we are glad now that she is no longer suffering. We love her so much and will always carry her in our hearts.
This was taken just before we moved down to Hemet.
Basking in the sun.
At our place in the canyon, Jipsy loved to sleep under the oleanders across the driveway. Here we had this bush in the back yard that she and Molly would hang out by. They would go under it in those hot summer months to keep cool. She sure seemed to enjoy the grass too. Before we moved, the only time she would see grass is when she would visit her sister Puddin in Fillmore, so this is a real treat.
Those we hold in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever.
