December 2005 – Keesha is a Keshound and is now 12 years old.

May 30, 2008 – She is now 14 and starting to show her age. Her hearing isn’t good and she has cataracts on her eyes. She doesn’t jump up on the couch or my bed any more as I think she might have arthritis in her hind legs. She’s never very far from me when I’m home. Lately, she’s been falling down (or up) the steps of the porch because she thinks she’s still young and gets excited about going outside or coming back in.

August 2008.  Today was not a good day. I finally made the decision to put my dog to sleep. It is never an easy decision to make but I know she was suffering. I had her for 15 good years. Even though it took awhile to housebreak her and she was such a hyper young thing, she turned out to be a really good dog. I’ll miss her very much. I have no plans on getting another dog as it’s too hard and emotional to lose them.
