Sweet Old Dog

It's not any easier to watch your dog age than to watch yourself age ... and Bucky, who's become sweeter with the years, has now developed a bit of a limp when he first gets up off the floor.

We think he's about ten years old so, I guess, it's about time.

So now we'll start looking for elevated food bowls, a softer bed that he'd actually consider using, any other ways we can help him adjust to geezerhood.

But it's kind of hard. We've had him just three years but now -- as I'm sure every petlover knows -- I can't imagine life without him.

So I won't. I won't imagine life without him.

Sweet old dog.
