It sucks when our beloved animals get old!
Today we celebrated our dog's "birthday"...since we adopted him, we don't know his actual birthday so we use the day we adopted him as his special day! Well, by our estimations, he is about 10 years old (he is getting arthritis in his joints and is slowing down quite a bit) We've only had him for 3 years and I hate that he is getting another year older. I just don't feel as thought I've had enough time with him yet.
From what we know about his background, he didn't have the best owners. They abandoned him in a neighborhood and took off his ID tags and he is terrified of belts. It breaks my heart that he was treated poorly and we do everything we can to make up for it.
Sorry, I'm a bit emotional tonight (darn pregnancy hormones). I just hate seeing him get old.
