when our dogs get old Todd has aged so much in the past few months. He will be 12 in July, and while I know its not really old, the average age for a grey tends to be around that. I've had to cut down his walks, and take him alone, because he just can't keep up with the girls.
I hate it, because I know its not going to ever get any better, it only gets worse from here. There's nothing physically wrong with him at all, and his hearing and eyesight are still perfect, he's just very slow and stiff now.
I know you don't see a lot of Todd, purely because the other two are so in your face, but in his day, that was him! No real point to this thread, just feeling a little down about it. I've never ever thought of him dying, he's been around so long, its just like he's part of the furniture really.
Anyway, in his younger days, when he was quite the stud...and FAST too!
