Adorable – that’s what kind of pup she is :-). Melissa, what is she?
-
She is a Chihuahua-Miniature Pincer mix. They weren’t completely sure about the Min-Pin but she’s mixed with something. She’s bigger than a typical Chihuahua

I’m going to try to find some better booties. I’ll let you know what I find, and if you find a type that works best, let us know.

Oh, you must share a video of your “duet” with Satchmo 🙂

Toni – let me know, too. I’ve been considering them for Benny.

Sounds like you two were best friends! This made me think of my dog Dunstin. He was a chocolate lab and I grew up with him – one of my earliest memories was when he was a puppy… It was almost the exact same thing as you & Shey. I’ll try to find some old pictures and share them.
-
I would love to see some pictures Cody 🙂
-
me too!

Benny loves playing in the snow. It’s great.
-
As long as it’s not super cold, she doesn’t mind the snow. She has a coat that I put on her…but when it gets about 15 or below, she doesn’t like it one bit!

Hey Jill! Nice to have you here. What part of the country are you from? Your profile photo looks relaxing – reminds me of my cabin!

Good to hear your spirits are up. Does Tidbit wear booties? Sean is having trouble keeping Satchmo’s on and asked if anyone has tips.
-
I tried booties and socks because her feet get so cold she can’t move…but she flicks them off and it takes forever to get them on! LOL
-
hahaha same thing with Satchmo…..BUT he won’t go in the snow without them either! A total Catch 22 lol

So cute! Trying to get in the car – Tidbit drives? 🙂 How are you doing, Melissa?
-
LOL..she was trying to that day! It was cold and the snow was over head. She wanted no part of it! 😉
I’m doing pretty good. I shared some of Shey’s toys with the neighbor’s dog..they were too big for Tidbit…and I have never been able to get Tidbit interested in playing with toys. I am going to try to work with her again now that she doesn’t have a side kick to play with.

By the way Melissa, if you will find comfort sharing Shey’s pictures, and even some back-stories with us, the Memorials tab on the site is for that purpose. We are just building our community but those of us here would love see and share Shey with you.
-
Thank you…she was with me for 14 years, so I have lots of stories.
We are doing well…and adjusting. Sometimes I feel so lost and I just want to kiss her sweet face. I do miss her so much.

This is a good thing to explore. I will look around for booties and let you know what I find.

Dear Melissa,
I really am moved and feel sort of good for Shey, and you and your family, knowing Shey was ready to go. It’s nice to have comforting memories in having her always with you. On this site we provide support for this time and if we can help you, your family, or Tidbit please let me know. In the next few days will you let us know how you are all doing, please? We wouldn’t be here with you if we didn’t sincerely care and want to help. Here is a BIG HUG for you! Toni -

I’ve been thinking about trying those out.. It can get cold up here in Minnesnowta. What kind of issues are you having with them?
-
a few different things. A) He likes to kick them off and absolutely detests wearing them, BUT when there is slush outside he refuses to move and will lift his front paws up because they are so cold, SO if I have him in those out there he is fine…..the trick is keeping them on. Curious if anyone has any brands they would suggest for smaller dogs?

Dear Melissa,
How are you? Is Shey out of her pain now? If you would like to visit with a pet grief counselor, please let us know and we will introduce you. It helps to acknowledge your feelings – your sadness, and relief for Shey. You have been a great friend to Shey. Please let us know how you are doing. Toni-
Hello, yes Shey is out of her pain. I went and picked up her ashes yesterday so she is home and with us. The vet that I (finally) found that was able to explain all of this to me is really great. The sent me a card with Shey’s paw prints and the redwood urn they sent her home in is so pretty. It has her name on the front.
Tidbit seems to be doing okay, though she still looks for Shey I think. She is getting lots and lots of love and attention.

Hi Toni! That photo was taken on one of the lakes in Ely, Minneosta on the Boundary Waters. It is one of our favorite places to vacation. I wish we lived there but my husband says he could not take the winters there. I would love it!! Our fur kids did not get to go with us on that trip. Thank you for the wonderful welcomes to the group. I am excited to participate.
I thought that looked like Minnesota! Do you canoe there while you’re visiting?
Yes and we LOVE it! have you ever been up there?
Awesome! I’ve never been canoeing up there though it’s on the bucket list. We have a cabin at the Lake of the Woods (very “tip” of MN, probably about 4 hours NW of Ely) and I spent a week canoeing up there a while back. Tons of fun – camped out on a different island every night and there’s some very cool scenery, rock formations, etc. to see once you venture into the Canadian side of the lake. If you and your husband ever wanted to “mix it up” next time you’re visiting the land of 10,000 lakes, you may really enjoy it up there… especially if you like to fish. Hard to beat fresh walleye 🙂
it certainly sounds like a trip for us to plan to do!! We would love it!
I went canoeing up in MN with my brother last time I was up there, and it was pretty neat, although we hit some bad weather and almost like a movie, we were paddling against the wind and not moving but a few inches hahaha
