Tomorrow Xian goes in to be spayed. I’m nervous. I know it’s a common surgery. I know it’s for the best. But she is my baby. When I nap she is there to cuddle up behind my knees or against my back. But a responsible pet owner must soldier on and do what is best for her. So I’ll cross my fingers and try to focus on my day.

Here’s a picture of her at my parents house in Bow. She loves to go to “Gramma’s” house. She runs around and marks everything outside.(I recently found out that it is very common for even female Chinese Cresteds to mark. Xiann even lifts her leg like a boy if she needs to.) This last visit she actually rolled in the dirt after smelling something cool. Needless to say it was bath time when we got home.
