Everything Mom read said I'd only be about 8 years max. We passed that 5 and now headed toward 6 years ago.<br /><br />I hear Mom say things about my age, but I just can't get her to understand I feel like a young pup...most of the time. It's a little difficult to get up sometimes and I get the occasional limp but I just enjoy the moment..no worries.<br /><br />Roo - I really like your perspective about the crows feet. I'm gonna pass that on to Mom so she'll stop worrying about her age.A Wonderful Dogs Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07138996481191370957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-54458935573954064832011-05-06T21:50:52.300-05:002011-05-06T21:50:52.300-05:00SO SWEET!!!

When we rescued her, she was the youngest we had, and now she's getting old!

The vet says they are common in older dogs. We don't notice them, but sometimes when other people pet him they seems startled by his warts. <br /><br />Poor Miss M ...that bite must have hurt. Were you at Montrose Beach? That's where we were. I have since heard that there have been quite a few problems there with irresponsible owners and unleashed dogs.The Daily Pip https://www.blogger.com/profile/17071013559078816245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-796995112292038232011-04-29T10:41:44.233-05:002011-04-29T10:41:44.233-05:00Awww. just wanted you to know I look forward to se...Awww. just wanted you to know I look forward to seeing the pooches photos everyday, even though I have my own pit bull to gaze lovingly at and obsess over her graying face!<br />They are so special (and obviously ageless!).<br /><br />Alison at The Other Winnie Cooper<br />http://theotherwinniecooper.blogspot.com/Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16117376553244626271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513996817497959054.post-29053253023554769542011-04-29T10:31:04.145-05:002011-04-29T10:31:04.145-05:00I really liked the Velveteen Rabbit analogy for Mr...I really liked the Velveteen Rabbit analogy for Mr. B, though like the story it made me tear up.
