    Default My Little Old Man Scared Me

    Yesterday I had to take my car in to the dealership (I'm trying to keep up getting any weirdness fixed because my warranty runs out in June). I left the dogs gated in the bedroom but not crated. When I got back Scooter and Darby greeted me noisily and excitedly at the gate. No Cash. So look around and he's on the bed laying VERY still. He didn't wake up with the noise and excitement like he usually does. Oh, cr*p. I let the other two out and walk over by the bed. I stand there watching him to see if he's breathing. I can't tell. So I go over to the bed quite sure that's he's passed away and put my hand on his head. He opens his eyes and looks at me like "Oh, hi mom, you back already?" I was so relieved, I wanted to cry. Such a silly boy.

    Old dogs, honest to god!! That happened a few times with Maxe. She and Alex stayed in my bedroom when I was out, and they could see out the window. My bedroom was over my garage, so as soon as they heard the garage door opening (with opener!) they'd be at the window. The first time only Alex showed up, I leapt out of the car, and flew up the stairs convinced Maxe was dead. Nope. Under the covers, sound asleep...same reaction as Cash! That's when I realized how deaf she was getting. Scary, though.

    Got to love them, especially the seniors.

    Trixie has done that to me on more than one occasion, especially since she is now deaf.

    They become much better sleepers as they get older. Wish I could sleep that deeply! Hugs for you, Mama.

    Seb scared me the same way last week. He falls asleep his back to mine usually. Then during the night he moves away. And he usually comes for morning kisses when I start waking up. Well, one morning I wake up and I feel his back still behind me. So I slowly moved my hand to his body to feel if he was warm or cold. I didn't want to look. He was just asleep. What a huge relief that is.

    This has happened with Peaches, and it scares the crap out of me. So glad Cash was just snoozing!
