2. Changed to canned food due to dental. (She does have yearly dentals at vet)
3. She requires more quiet time from her fur sisters.
4. The grandchildren are not allowed to hold her anymore, except for the older ones that she has known for all her life.
5. We take the stroller during our walks so when she tires, she rides and rest. |
We lovingly adjust to their needs and changes in stamina, and all the other changes we see begin to take effect. This morning, I have noticed one of my males who has been a fabulous breeder, and has thrown some gorgeous, healthy babies over the years,,,,,when I was carrying him to another area of the yard, he initiated a swimming motion with his front legs...very subtle, but this is new and I know in my heart is an indication of something age related that is creeping up on him.....and I hold him close, and kiss his precious little face......
