Lana Still Wants To Play

Thank you for all of your kind and thoughtful comments. After having a long talk with Lana, praying, and crying over the thought of losing her, she has improved. I realized that much of what bothers me is how she looks. Her skin and lump look God awful. But, I remembered my mother's skin before she died, and how her legs were purple with bruises. What matters most is on the inside; getting older is not always pretty. 

Lana woke up and behaved in a very loving, happy, enthusiastic way. She walked into the kitchen, looked at me with a smile, and I realized that there was no way I could euthanize her. She has far too much strength, energy, and power.  She is eating all of her food, and loves the new grain free treats that I bought.

I've been taking her for walks and playing frisbee with she and Lula in the afternoon. She still leaps for the frisbee and catches it on a fly. She seems to get deep satisfaction from the praise and coaching that I give her. She always was an excellent frisbee player. People at the park would ask me how I trained her, and I'd reply that she was just a natural. Passion and talent shine, and she has both qualities.
