I was happy to see my dog doing very well back in TX. She is really mom's dog these days but was mine before I moved away from home. Since they are keeping up her meds for her bad back she seems many years younger. She was trying to keep up with my sisters' dogs as they were rough housing. Not doing all that well but she sure was trying. They are both a lot bigger so it was kinda worrying to see. Occasionally one of them would knock her down a bit but they were both considerate enough to not really play back when she tried to join in. They know she really can't take it. Last Christmas before they put her on med she seemed to be on her last legs, barely getting up at all and making messes constantly. Now other than being stone deaf and a little stiff she is like her old self again. Halley is about 12 and a half.

Maybe you can answer my nosy question that Jen couldn't remember the answer to...

She said Empress' dog is a flat-coated retriever, but she couldn't remember what kinda dog your other sister's was. I'm just curious. ;-) She said they were both reallly purty dogs.

Reminds me of my Scruffy. He's 12 too.

Rimadyl keeps the arthitis bearable for him.
