I make time for her every day to take her out by herself or with Skinny Marie to jog around the yard. Every once in awhile, she even scares up a rabbit which pleases her no end. <BR/><BR/>But at the end of her lap around the yard, she comes up the ramp (yes, we have a handicapped ramp just for the old un's who can't do steps any longer) with tongue hanging and a huge grin on her face. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes her rear gets ahead of her front and she ends up in a pile, so I have to go pick her up and set her right with the feet in 4 corners. Then she takes off again. I hurt for her when she falls like that, but since she goes again right away, she must not be too dismayed by her tumbles. <BR/><BR/>Give VOD a big hug from a cyber-auntie.<BR/><BR/>MargaretMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750699465103528054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-85943150479446088542007-11-07T23:40:00.000-06:002007-11-07T23:40:00.000-06:00Ah, Patience...we were there with you as Very Old ...Ah, Patience...we were there with you as Very Old Dog ran.

The ones I had growing up had to be given away (landlord), and since then, ours haven't been around for longer than 4 years! And in Achilles I found my soul dog. He's my perfect companion and I love him very much... I catch myself worrying about what I'll do when he goes. But reading your posts on Giacomino make me feel better and remind me that there can still be good times when he gets older.

Fling is going to be 13 in March and due to her back injury in January '06 she's also wonky when wunning, er I mean running... These days she's doing a bit better on metacam but she has to do more of a bunny hop when running. Unfortunately the youngsters don't always pay attention when zipping past her.Whippeteerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11911675107957695913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996513531142597091.post-32184692968445545002007-11-03T20:33:00.000-05:002007-11-03T20:33:00.000-05:00I tear up everytime Mallory, my 13 yr old suddenly...I tear up everytime Mallory, my 13 yr old suddenly runs back to the house when I take her out.
