Watching old friends get even older.

I think Peter and Cedric are going to be the next ones to leave us. Their crappy little hearts are getting crappier every day. They can't even keep themselves warm on an August morning with the fireplace blazing away. I just wrapped their shivering little bodies in afgans to help them stay warm. They both whistle and wheeze as they follow me around to get some of my toast, The cardiac meds will not keep their hearts functioning for too much longer. Dogs have 2 hearts inside them, the physical heart that craps out when they get too old, and their invisible heart which just gets bigger and stronger as the rest of them fades away. i think people have 2 hearts too, but both of ours somehow fade away together when we get old. Maybe that is because when a human gets old, they get lost in busy families, but the SAINTS dogs get wrapped in afgans and fed toast in front of the fire.
