Happy Eight Birthday Percy

Happy Eighth Birthday to our Chihuahua Warrior Percy.

These photos are all from 2013, the year he was born after he arrived to live with us.

That tongue!

Aw snoozing in his 'Daddy's arms'

Ready to play.

Getting bigger, those ears!

Trying to clean out Pirate's mouth.

He still likes to do this and does so with Stanley's mouth, most days after dinner!

I think he fancies himself a bit of a dentist.

Look at him fly!

I do miss these days when he was sighted and could run free without any fear and hesitation.

So alert.

Loving his ball!

To think he has now been blind almost half his life now is pretty incredible. He went blind literally overnight back in April 2018, just after his fifth birthday.

Then just a year later he couldn't walk developing yet another auto-immune disease, this time in his spine.

But he is a true warrior, and is doing so well today.  True he is not as fit and active as he was, and far less confident, but he seems pretty happy and is always excited when I take him out for his walks with Stanley.  

I'm not sure when we will be walking today though as it is currently pouring with rain, and he is definitely a 'fair weather walker'.  Haha!  He is currently lying in front of the fire absorbing all the heat.

We are really proud of his fighting spirit, his love that he freely gives us, and of his companionship.
