He gets lots of special treats - but the best for him is when I work with him outdoors -swim and play and obedience. I have to ease up on the toy throws as a reward as his back legs slipped out from him yesterday. I plan on another video for him showing off his off lead and silent command obedience work. Hopefully he will come with me to Sept Nationals and show as a Veteran and do some competitive obedience work - it just depends on his health.
I do so hope he dies with his boots on so to speak ,nothing long nor lingering as when we lost Zoey and then Karma.
That is why it is so important to show the veterans so folks can see the majesty of even an aged boy. Magic has a bit of a reputation in our community as he is an old fashioned BRT - very very guardy and a hard dog - but oh so worth the investment of training time and pure love. Never has there been a more loyal dog than him. So intelligent and so very willing to work and working just lights his day up! He is never far from my side and walks always by my side - accompanies to the washroom in case I need help getting up. Walks by my side down the stairs to steady me just in case I need it.
Jeanie if you could only meet him in person. He rocks! He rocks back even experienced large dog owners when they meet in person. His personae is so very large. He loves folks - but to be greeted by this big boy is a little overwhelming. Okay I am done gushing for now! LOL

Well, proud mommas can't help but sparkle when talking about their best boys! And, wow, would I ever love to meet the Magic Man in person.
