Helping My Sweet Old Bud

The best to help old dogs is to know what to exepect from them age your young pup someone becomes old before you know it!! lab are stoic that means they would stop trying until you stop them. They have no common sence. I feel that way some days when i push my body to unrealist limits. I constally feel that I haven't done enough exerce or work our whatever I think I should be able to do. One warm day last year I let Bud do too much and I watched effort it took him to walk home the selveral blooks home. I thought his was going to fall............... Freaked me out big time. ! that will never happen again. The very best thing I know for old dogs or humans is the water. Bud is the most precious gift God gave me. He is so worth the money I pay at Splash to watch the fun Bud has in the water. His rear legs will keep strenght as long as possible. When Bud comes home he acts like a pup again. What fun to watch. My caregiver Tawyna does this on her own time. Bud pays her back by rubbing his wet head on her pants and gives his specail sweet wet sloppy kisses that he unsually saves for me. We are gratful to her for the gift of time and I drive to Splash.
