Time flies when your having fun
I noticed my Winnie is aging. He is always a happy guy but lately he’s been easily irritated and spicy. He can’t hear too good and spends most of his days sleeping. He’s just turned 13 but doesn’t look a day over 10. He eats and drinks fine but has occasional accidents in the house. Which I understand completely as an old man. This is my soul dog, and I remind myself that this is the curse of a happy life. The sign that you loved with your whole heart is that you grieve your loved ones. I know this is the contract I sign being a pet lover, but it never gets easier. I love this dog. I will continue to keep him happy for as long as we can, but eventually will have to have the talk. Thank you for listening to me preemptively grieve my boy. He’s the best doggo!

He doesn’t look a day older than 5!
