She's five.
Hero status comes from surviving the broken right front leg. She still knows how to jerk on my heart strings!! She just walks up to me, lifts that leg, pats on my hand (or whatever she can reach) and cocks her head to the side. She has her momma TRAINED!!
Hey bud! That's your partner you're talking about there! She gives, you give; that's the deal. Show some respect to your little hero!
