I have a 16 1/2 yr. old Toy Poodle -Kokoa_. I change her diapers and heat her breakfast up. Wash and groom her and then the treats she waits for at the kichen drawer. Hold her on my lap and kiss and hug her. In the am after her breakfast I wash her face, has her own towel and washcloth, and then we sit in the recliner and we talk together. I imagine most of you talk dog. What blessings they are.
