Thank you Brit. I appreciate your comments and experiences. I find my nine plus year old is very willing to walk and come alive when there is something worthwhile! He also eats etc as usual. He has never been a toy player, except on his terms. I think he is bored and when there is nothing of note happening he just sleeps. But if I move he is following me. When he has had a very active day, he too takes it easy the next day. I must say I feel the same! So I will just keep an eye on his behavior and vet tests and visits and pray he doesn’t develop any of the sometimes horrible afflictions that can appear as dogs age. My last girl died at 11.5 years suddenly of kidney failure, so that is why I am spooked by any small difference in behavior. My last baby seemed fine except a few days before she suddenly got very sick. Long may your furbabes live happy lives. |
