Life is Good

Fernando is feeling so much better after his dental surgery early last week. He’s no longer suffering with mouth pain, so instead of sleeping most of the time, he is busy exploring! The photos below were taken this morning outside our cabin. Fernando cannot see well (approximately 50% vision in his good eye), but he was still curious and wandered around happily enjoying the mountain air. Watching this little guy brings pure joy to our hearts. Fernando has taught us that rescuing another dog, after losing a beloved one, can help mend a broken heart.

  1. So glad that Fernando is so much better and that he is able to get around and enjoy the fresh mountain air. That’s always wonderful. Harley is keeping an eye out for him, I know. Thanks so much for sharing these special pictures of another special family member of yours. I love them.

  2. He doesn’t seem to mind the sweater. This whole adoption is so exciting for me. I so look forward to new pictures of your new boy and tales of his progress and happiness. <3

  14. thank you so much for posting this. I have been terrified because we also have a senior boy who is 12 1/2, has a stage 3 heart murmur and will be undergoing dental surgery .- Hearing Fernando’s story and seeing how quickly he us recovering and how perky he looks now, is making me feel much more confident about it for my little guy.

  15. So very happy little Fernando is feeling better. The pictures are adorable – his sweater is just the best. Rescuing Fernando was the best thing in the world you could have done – for him, for yourselves, and to honor Harley’s memory. Harley will never, ever be forgotten by any of us but helping another pup is the best way in the world to heal your hearts. God bless.

  25. what a sweetie he is and so lucky to have you an have been saved and given a great new life with lots of love

  26. Oh my, those photos do remind me of Harley exploring. So glad you now have Fernando, no dog can ever replace another but they can expand our hearts and our lives as we make room for “just one more”.

  27. I am so honored to know, even by email, people with such loving hearts. Before my beloved Herbie died at the age of 16.5 years I knew I had to have another senior. I fostered and adopted my senior girl and she has been part of my life for over 3 years now. Adopting a senior is extra love

  28. Thank You for loving him and for sharing him with us. We will always miss Harley, but there is room for another in our hearts.
