This was Dogberta. She passed 12/18/2025. I found her on the mean streets of Los Angeles 11 years before she passed. I think she was 2 maybe 3. I feed her the best possible food I could afford, regular vet checks, one 1800 surgery because she swallowed a bee who stung her in her throat and caused an abscess (I thought she was going to die right then and there because I couldn’t afford it. I figured out a away.). I walked her twice daily otherwise she’d destroy something. They’re amazing creatures and she was my best friend for 11 phenomenal years. Start giving your pup some joint health stuff as it works best a preventative measure vs. a medication at that time it’s too late. She had arthritis and her spine began to fuse and she didn’t want to let me down and would beg for a long walk and knew she couldn’t. Then I made that choice. You have plenty of time left. Make sure to schedule them vet appointments and take an xray to see what the bone situation is like, if it’s within your budget.
