This past November 22-December 2nd was an adventure in dog-sitting. The first couple days were hard. Sparky, the oldest of the three Jack Russell's is sickly and has to take lots of meds. It's life or death. He has congestive heart failure.he's sixteen years old. So every morning and evening I had to make sure he got his meds, feed the dogs, bird, and fish. I love these dogs. Even though I have dogs of my own I always make a friend in other dogs like these three and Shiner. See the Deer Lake Cabins blog.
