Little Dog in a Big World

The Thanksgiving holiday has given me a moment to reflect on how thankful I am to have had Sierra in my life.  I am thankful that this once overly aggressive and dominate pup turned into the sweet natured, children loving, food stealing dog that I loved.  I am also thankful that after her amputation due to cancer I was given 3 1/2 years more of her life to enjoy.  I am deeply grateful to Kathy Barton’s class and the at Handicapped Pets who provided Sierra with a wheel chair.

With that in mind, I have wondered what I should do with the Simple Pleasures blog. After Sierra passed away, I didn’t know what to do with this blog.  I didn’t really have anything else to say, but I didn’t want my posts about Sierra and her month with her wheel chair to disappear.

I’ve decided to continue the blog so that Sierra’s legacy may be passed on.  I think knowing how well she enjoyed life despite her disabilities might help another dog owner going through the same thing.

So, this blog is going to go in a little bit different direction.  You will still find all of Sierra’s posts.  In addition to that will be information on handicapped pets.  You will also be introduced to my new four legged friend, Misha.

I hope you will continue to enjoy this blog as my life without Sierra evolves into life with Misha.
