I remember feeling that way when Cheyenne hit 10 years old ... it was such a shocker to think my once wiggly-puppy baby was in double-digits. :yikes:
It does get you thinking ... and yes, you worry about them more.
But still acting puppyish in play is great!! Cheyenne did the same at 10 and well beyond ... and she lived to be over 15 years old and healthy 'til the very end. (Albeit with a joint supplement in the later teens.)
You're gonna worry more ... can't tell ya you won't ... but remember to enjoy him more than worry. Did that with Cheyenne and never regretted a minute.
In the meanwhile, Happy Birthday to you Ares!! You've now reached two whole paws old ... five circles on one paw and five circles on the other!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARES! I hope we get a picture or two of you enjoying your day! *hint hint*
I know what you mean........Phoebe turned 10 this past fall. For her (she's a medium mutt) hopefully that still means she has at least 5-6 years left (normal average speaking) but who knows?
I hear ya. Orson turns 4 in April, and his breed isn't known for longevity Most don't make it to 8, let alone 10, and rarely much longer than that for the ones who do. Is that about how it is for Danes too?

Considering how few things he likes?
About the only things he'd like would be food, working and seeing the malis leave ~ permanently. The last two won't be happening, and I have nothing special to feed him and with the weather don't know if I'll get out to get any. He might have to get a belated cheeseburger.
I might crate the malis a little bit today so he can run around without worrying about them.

Happy Birthday Ares!!!
And I wouldn't worry about his age just yet, corgis seem to live forever

(Although sometimes I didn't think he'd make it to be 10...I've often threatened to shorten his life expectancy.)
Happy birthday Ares, you spring chicken, you. I'm glad to hear that he's still a bouncy, happy and healthy guy. It does make us worry though when they get older. Toker is about 9 and so is Chulita....8 or 9 and Jose` is 7. All my dogs are creeping up to old age but still bouncy and healthy too but yeah...it does weigh on your mind sometimes, doesn't it. I hope you all share in a very special birthday. And have many more to come.
