AR's post about his dog dying has now got me in the dumps.. I look at my little baby who is now a 12 year old springer / lab mix... She has just lost it over the winter.. She is a little bit bigger but I can tell she has lost a step or two. She doesn't jump as high when she greets me and she needs to go out and pee more, also the naps are a little longer.. I can see the slowing down progression and the grey she grew... WOW :scared Not much I can do. Time to cook her up a steak.... :00hour It's amazing how you can reflect in a dog's life to your own.. I just hope I have her for one more year and the rest will be gravy.. Actually it is gravy already..
