smile. it's good for you.

Today I decided to post a little something about my fur-babies. Dakota aka Koda Bear is my 4 year old Shiba Inu. Although Koda doesn't get along well with other dogs, she loves our 2 cats (Lord Beckett & Captain Jack) They are like 3 peas in a pod... I couldn't ask for more. Koda loves to sleep in bed with me. My husband works nights so I don't mind the company. When I say she sleeps in bed I mean she sleeps next to me under the covers with her bunny between her arms and her head on my pillow... she's too much :)

I can honestly say that I would be lost without her at times. She always knows when I'm upset and need a good cuddle, and the wonderful thing about dogs is there's no judgment at all just love.

Lord Beckett aka Slinky Cat turned 2 this summer and we started noticing some strange behavior. He would drool uncontrollably and pace back and forth. At times he couldn't move his back legs & he would just drag them around howling. After numerous tests & blood work the vets still could not give us an answer. They said it seemed as though he was having seizures, but they would last hours. All of the sudden he was fine everything stopped & we were so relieved. Unfortunately after a few months things started up again. This time we got awful news. The vets think that it may be a brain tumor, unfortunately we will never know. They said we could find out but to do scans would cost us a fortune & even then there is nothing they can do. The good news is they don't think he is in any pain, so for now there is nothing to be done. Beckett could live 1 more year or 10 so we plan on smothering him with love lol & giving him the best years of his life.

He is by far the most cuddly cat I have ever seen & the sweetest. He does love to cause mischief though, but what cat doesn't love doing that :)Every morning I get to wake up to this face....

Here is Baby Beckett with his big brother Captain Jack

We adopted Jack when he was a few months old. They weren't exactly sure of his age since he was a stray, but they gave us a good estimate. We did opt for a kitten & not because they are cuter than adult cats, but we thought that we would have a better chance of a kitten getting along with Koda Bear since they would be able to grow up around her. And boy were we right... here are my 3 loves...
