Livin' the Crazy

Just a gal and her rescues, embracing a crazy life and sharing what we love and learn along the way. Tami heads up the Crazy and owns a pet nutrition business.

In support of the homeless or ailing, we will always be a voice for the voiceless. Livin' the Crazy is a community dedicated to celebrating the "crazy" that occurs in a life dedicated to our furry friends. She also slangs insurance as her full-time side hustle. She has been deeply involved in the rescue community in AZ and will forever have a passion for homeless dogs a

nd cats in need. There are 4 canine & 4 feline rescues (plus a resident feral kitty) that make up our crazy family. Chronologically they are:

- Romeo (15yo); Ragdoll/Siamese
- Juliet (14yo); DMH kitty
- Murphy (8yo); Shihtzu
- Sonny (7yo); Sh*tzu mix
- Aliekat (7yo); Lynx point siamese
- Olivia (7yo); Maltese/Yorkie/Shihtzu mix
- Enzo (6yo); All American 'who knows' mixed up adorable mutt
- Bentley (4mo); Polydactyl gray tabby
- Mama Mercedes (1y'ish); Bentley's Mama, and a feral who stays outside

Our guardian angels, that await us at the Rainbow Bridge, are Daisy (neapolitan mastiff) and Cookie (brown tabby).

Welp... Murphy walked into the pool tonight. Like, caught a smell, and followed it straight in. 😱 Guess he's really NOT seeing much these days, especially at night. The good news? Even with his jacket on (cuz he's ALWAYS cold) he swam like a boss. The POST-swim drama was top tier though, of course. (But guess who will be starting some water therapy this weekend? 😁)

Three. I haven't had only three kids in over 14yrs, since it was just Romeo, Juliet, Daisy and I. It's so odd (and quiet). I've been following along with grief journey. She lost her Simon shortly after I lost Enzo and many times now she's put into words what I haven't been quite able to articulate. Life moves on , and it's just so so hard. Sonny's crossing was only six months ago, but my grieving for him has been overshadowed by losing Enzo so traumatically, and now Juliet. I feel like I'm forgetting all the little things about him faster as a result. 💔 In the meantime, I'm consciously trying to soak up and commit to memory, every minute Iwith these three. Even 20yrs goes faster than you think. 💔🩶🤍

It's been 20yrs, 2mos, 3wks & 6 days that this spicy beautiful girl has been Queen of our furry castle. When we whispered in her ear this am that Romeo was waiting for her, she gave us just the tiniest of meows. 💔 She was ready, even if we absolutely were not. Rest easy my sweet Juliet. Thank you for all the love, laughs, and sass. You will be deeply, deeply missed.

Her first week with us. I've always said that she was bitten with full grown whiskers.

Taken this morning, after her 8th (ish) churu. Even with the evidence lingering on her chin (grooming/shrooming), she was a beauty.

With her Romeo, circa 2006.

The only saving grace is that she's back with her Romeo. She grieved him terribly when we lost him.

Peas in a pod.

Biiiig stretch. 😁

The whiskers, the black nose... She was one of a kind.

We almost didn't get up this am to walk (with or without Murphy), but aside from the entitled shmuck with his off-leash shepherd, it was a beautiful morning.

(If you have to tell your dog three times to come, he's not a well trained dog, and when something happens, and it always does, you'll blame and berate the dog, but it's 💯 on you for setting him up to fail in the first place. As***le. Never mind the bloody leash laws.)

I 100% recommend seeing the Hadestown pro-shot. It was absolutely perfect. I 1000% do NOT recommend seeing it the week you lose a furbaby. From this line forward, I was just trying not to make a scene with my ugly sobs. The silver lining? That line resonated so deeply in my soul that it WILL be a future tattoo. Because of course, despite the shattering grief of saying goodbye, I will always ALWAYS sing it again. 💔

Looks concerning doesn't she? Welcome to my daily "oh my God, are you OK?!?" It's been a rough few days for our super duper senior. Unexplained, rapidly growing mass near her thyroid (now reduced with steroids), unexplained fever, high blood pressure, (that then went too low with meds), "something" behind her left eye that's caused blindness, some neurological deficiencies in a back paw (mini stroke?), and naturally a lack of appetite and abandonment of litterbox etiquette. (grateful we have throw rugs absolutely everywhere!) Her appetite and litterbox manners are back this am, and she even climbed up on the counter demanding treats. She's been on deaths door a few times in her long life, and I'm here again to give her body the option to stay, to the extent that we can do so comfortably and still retain her quality of life. 🩶🤍

This is the face that convinces me to retrieve fries for him AT LEAST once a week. It's the only tried and true way to get meds in him when his appetite wanes. He gets just enough for the meds and to kickstart his appetite. 🥰
