Hi Angela! I remember you. Yeah, it has been a while… my young dogs are no longer young. But I got some other young ones. LOL. The drawbacks of rescue, but the joys of rescue too, because we love them all.

I hope you get your sheltie puppy! How excting! I’m hoping to get a puppy this year or next year too.

God, has it been that long?? I remember your blues as young, spry kids! I originally started to get into agility when my boy was only a year old though, and he’s 7 now… So I guess it’s been a while! My girl is almost 12… Everyone sees her and thinks she’s like 4. She’s a crackhead, bouncing off the walls. I do notice that her eyes aren’t QUITE as pure black as they used to be, and I try to lift her down off high objects that she jumps up onto because I don’t want to risk a broken leg… Sometimes she doesn’t respond when I’m talking to her, but I know that it’s because she’s a stubborn little cow, not because she’s going deaf (I can give her commands in a whisper if she’s not sidetracked and she responds perfectly – she just has attitude!)… But oh, I worry… She’s been young for so long that when she starts *really* slowing down, I’m going to be a wreck… Why do dogs have to get old?? It seems so unfair. Everyone says since Shannon is so psycho, she’ll live forever. And oh, I wish that were true! :S

So true about the older dogs ... we have Tucker who seems like an old man these days, and Trixie, just a year or so younger, who is still going strong ... but for how much longer? Dennis the Vizslas last blog post..Stuffie Feats Of Strength

I don’t know why, but I love the old ones the best. The oldest one here now is only 9, so I don’t have really old ones now. I lost three last year, one at thirteen, one almost fourteen, and one suddenly at ten (didn’t expect that). I miss them terribly, but I see them in the ones that are still here, and from time to time, they make their presence felt.

It is hard when our pets get old. That is a great picture!

Girl, I'm with you!! Having old dogs is so hard. Not just because they are old and need more care but because you know they are nearing the end and how sad it will be when they are gone. That is a time I am not looking forward to. Flos last blog post..Sammy's big adventure
