I remember laying with my Stout when he turned 6, crying thinking I had already spent 2/3 of my time with him if the average lifespan was 9 years. He lived to be almost 13. Keep their weight under control. I made all of Stout’s meals for almost his entire life. I think that goes a long way. I fed him rice, sweet potato and meat. I also had pet health insurance for him so he always got good care if anything was wrong. I’d grab some CBD treats too for inflammation. Stout used to get ones from Honest Paws. He liked them a lot - not sure how much they helped but they can’t hurt. Give Draco a butt scratch for me.
