cinco de mayo party and friends on our minds

digby fighting his tickborne illness. Things do not look good, but he battles on.

max is in his 88th day of grace.

Both "Senor Scooter Man" and Sunny went to Lily's party over at Mack's to lift a glass to our friends that are battling serious illness.    Also, it is cinco de mayo which chihuahuas must celebrate.  And living life to the fullest is what we all must do, no matter how badly things seem to be going with ourselves and our friends.  Mom often wishes Shamus could still be here, but is learning to try to live in the moment as our wise dogs do.  So we soldier on, we party on, as those we love, human and canine, that left us would want.

Of course the fashionistas, Asta and Lacie girl got decked out for the party.  Apparently Senor Scooter Man only stepped on Asta's feet 30 or so times while dancing.  Who knows what shape Lily's are in as he was her escort!  A cell phone call from Sunny assured me she was trying to keep him in line and not cripple everydog there! (Though she was a bit giggly when she called.  Hmmmmm   Pawgaritas.)

She snapped Lily belting out a Mexican fiesta song.(She could not tell me the name, but Lily was in fine form.  That ta kill ya she drinks loosens up the vocal chords!) 

So,  here is to living each day to the fullest, to friends going through journies none of us want to travel, but that all of us will sooner or later.   I lift my Dr Pepper to all of you!   And Scooter, do fly carefully when you come home!
