I honestly have to admit, I am surprised. When I first found out that Spike was in early kidney failure, I was shocked, and I was totally convinced that, by now, Spike would only be a memory.
Even though, I know, that with kidney disease, changes can happen very quickly, I am pleased to say that Spike is doing very well at this time.
I've seen some signs of deterioration, but, for the most part, Spike is still Spike, and I am so happy! I feel blessed with everyday that we are given. He's been my best friend for so long, it will be difficult when he joins the ancients, but I have been blessed, and I don't want to forget that.
Spike stole my comforter. He's begun to rip it up to make it his. That's so Spike. I can buy a new one, but I'll never have another Spike. Now, I have to go and give him an ear rub. He likes those!
