Foxeyyy!! I Screamed...
But he just wagged his tail, barked (not as energetic as it used to be) and kept running behind the cat. And then the sight of the day. He put his sudden brakes. It didn't strike me until sometime later that the cat had stopped and was growling back at my dog. And Foxey like a good child, like a fox saying 'grapes are sour' turns back and leaves as if nothing had happened and he was just jogging to keep himself fit.
He is 12 and still looks like a year old Pomeranian. Jet white (adapted from jet black), extremely furry and handsome. In human years he is 80. Now that's a long time isn't it? In the last one year he has gone through a lot of physical changes. He cant hear...so the growling sound of the cat didn't win, it was the sudden stop :-). His vision isn't as it used to be. His appetite has gone down..but chicken is still his favorite. Above all, he has a nervous problem due to which his hind legs tremble at times and his eyes flicker. Like a stage of paralysis.
BUT he is a true fighter. He walks, behaves, loves like everything is as it was all these years. He falls at times due to the trembling but gets up and walks like nothing has happened. This hasn't deterred his quest to climb the sofa or the chairs. He does it effortlessly. Though these days he cant sense my car or bike entering the building, he gets up and jumps on me as soon as I enter the house. He still plays with my socks. He jumps on it as if he is hunting and throws it in the air and tries to catch it again. He still runs away from Mom and hides when its 11 am. Because that is the time he knows we make him bath most times.
Looking at him, I feel it would be a blessing to be like him.

- Always look ahead, no matter what.
- If you fall, rise like nothing ever happened.
- Love inspite of your shortcomings.
- Go through your day even if you sense things aren't as it was.
- Live life to your fullest.
This picture is taken when he was negotiating on a very grave problem. Whether to jump or not to jump :-). Guess what - He did jump. Fighter Foxey
