More lion-ruby.
Here there be lions.
Daisy has started taking Badger’s bowl (not hers, not Ruby’s, only Badger’s) to bed with her.

Badger appreciation post! I don’t often write things like this but this time I felt I needed to share.
Over the past week, I’ve had a nasty chest infection which, unfortunately, had caused a flare up of costochondritis (painful inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage). After getting out of the shower and attempting to get dressed (keyword: attempting - I wasn’t doing so great a job) the pain got so intense I keeled over on the upstairs landing. Badger, downstairs, probably in front of the fire hibernating, heard me crying and came to the bottom of the stairs where we have a baby gate. Usually when I see him, if I’m upstairs, I’ll say the usual ‘good boy, Badge’ and he’ll trot away, satisfied - but I was in too much pain at the time. He tries a little woof, but I still can’t do anything.
So, Badger literally rips open the baby gate and races up the stairs to sit with me until the pain subsides enough that I can call my other half to help. He doesn’t like stairs; they’re too steep in our house and he’s top heavy – but he came racing up them because I was hurting. He’s not a support dog, not trained to support me other than the cues he’s probably picked up over time, but he knew I was in pain and wanted to help.
I love him so very much.

I’m not sure if any one is still here: it’s been a while.
My beautiful, clever, empathic heart dog, Badger, went on his next adventure to the Rainbow Bridge at 11:30 on the 14th of July. We were incredibly lucky that we were allowed to be with him ( in light of current times ) along with a vet he’s known since he was a puppy. He went calmly, peacefully, in exactly the place he should have been; wrapped in my arms.
I was 17 when Badger came to us, agoraphobic and struggling with everything past waking up. He helped me find joy again. I’m still here because of him.
Although my heart is shattered, I’m immensely thankful I got to share so many moments with this tremendous boy. He was so beloved by everyone he met, my happy boy. He was the gentlest soul who just wanted to love and be loved in return. ♡

Mlem!
A distinguished old gent.
B lost his eyesight last year, but he’s been adapting well. Done some training with spoken commands rather than visual and he’s coming on leaps and bounds! Still a happy old chap. ❤
