I can't even begin to explain what a perfect dog she has been since the moment we got her at eight weeks old. She has never shown an ounce of aggression, never snapped at any person (or any animal) and tolerates a lot of crap from kids (and adults). She is in stage 4 kidney failure (which basically means her kidneys are functioning at 25 percent) so she requires thrice-weekly (is that a word?) subcutaneous fluids and daily medicines. She's also showing some seizure activity which we hope to stop with a tweak in her medicines (specifically her phosphorus binder). Now it sounds like she is decrepit but you'd never know she's sick 99 percent of the time. In fact, people at PetSmart were asking if she was up for adoption. She still loves her walks and her treats and saying "Hi" to everyone she meets (with the occasional lick).
So here is our sweet girl Alli (aka Kelsey's Midnight Alibi) lying on my stomach on a rare occasion when she actually slept in bed with us.
She also loves the snow. While it looks like she is dangerously close to eating some yellow snow, its actually just the bottom of my bird bath that is yellow. Only freshly fallen snow was used in the making of this picture.
Alli knows she is the true Queen of our house.

I'm glad you posted this. I was worried something had happened to Alli and you didn't tell me. I was in the Christmas luncheon and couldn't ask questions because it was too obvious I was texting instead of listening.
She's still just as cute as ever. I think you should post the one of you, Alli, and Jacob sitting on the couch when he was mere days old. :) Miss you guys!
That is the best picture. I don't have a scanner but maybe Dave can scan it in for me.
