Hello Everyone!

Thanks to all of you that have stopped by.  Mom and Sammie were in FL for a couple of weeks visiting our family and it's just been busy, busy, busy since they've been back.  I'm glad they are back.  I missed them even though I enjoyed going to work everyday with Dad.

Sammie is involved in a lot of summer activities and classes.  She's taking swimming lessons and an art class.  Oh, she's playing T-ball, too.  Wish I could go watch.

As for me, I'm feeling a little droopy.  Mom will tell you more.  Sammie is taking good care of me and gives me her special princess blanket and Ariel pillow.  I'm a lucky dog!

Take care everyone and Happy Summer!

Mom here:  Since we've been home from Florida, Kramer is acting a little differently.  He's lost more weight and is all skin and bones.  He's always been very thin, but not like this.  He's not eating as much the last week either.  He's still eager to eat, but is leaving about 1/3 of the meals behind.  He seems sad and is following me around constantly.  Now that's not all that unusual.  He is a big Mama's boy, but before the trip, he would stay to himself a lot during the daytime.  Now, if I even move or talk, he's up and at my side.  He's going up and down the stairs a lot more to be close to me.  His legs are a little worse and getting around is getting increasingly difficult, but he is still doing it himself and going potty himself.  My gut feeling is that the cancer is advancing and his time is shortening with us.  I think he knows it and that's why he's being my shadow.

Kramer has a birthday coming up on July 5th and Sammie has planned a party.  We've invited 10 of her little friends over for an afternoon of dog fun!  I think it will be good for her and help in the grieving process when the time comes.

Thanks to all of you for hanging in there with us. 

-Carol (Kramer's Mom)
