Fifteen years ago we rescued a very timid, very frail dog back in Los Angeles (read my initial post about it here)…. He grew up to be a fierce, strong, dominant dog, and now in his old age, is a bit weak and tentative in his moves, but still dominates The Kingdom of Tatarrax… Osky, this one is for you!
My very first picture with my forever family…
And after 15 years, so many memories!
We don’t know your Birthday, but October 16th is our day to celebrate YOU!

Darn it, Sally – now you have me with wet eyes! Have followed Osky for about 14 of his 15 years with you . . . wish I was sitting on your floor with him gently cuddled in my lap gently rubbing his back and sharing stories of the journey . . . bow-wow with quiet bells on top . . . may you be given more time with those who care . . .

Amazing how time flies, isn’t it? You’ve been following him – in other words – my little virtual spot, for a long time and I cannot describe how much I appreciate you being here!

He’s a gorgeous old man. There’s nothing better than a fuzzy dog.

We should have named him Phoenix…. sometimes we think he reached the end of the line, but…. he surprises us and recovers, keeps going…

Hard to say how long we have, but as long as he is living a comfortable life, we will be here for him!

Yes, we feel the same way about our Bengal cat. 19 years old, kidney disease but she is still going!
