Our best friends are those who cheer us through our ups and cheer us up through our downs.
Mr. Gentleman Dog is aging. Growing older is a gift, but it extracts a price. For some of us, the cost is higher than for others.
In Mr. Gentleman Dog’s case, arthritis is wearing away his hips. And his kidneys don’t work as well. Rather than soil stuff, several times a night he rouses himself to ask to go out into the cold and pee.
But every day, he still has plenty of moments that he enjoys. He still loves treats, short walks, and cuddles.
And he loves the warmth of friendship…

So much warmth in this picture.

Seeing that retriever on the bed makes me happy to know my wife and I are not the only ones mad enough to let their dog into the bedroom! We have a crazy choc Labrador, and although he never sleeps with us, we get regular visits and he usually turns the place upside down with a whirling swirling frenzy of excited tail chasing. Or, just crashes out….
