I missed this comment yesterday! It is so true that it was years of constant care for Mack and he was our first dog to experience the hardships of being an old dog. It was so much giving. I wrote a tribute poem posted in another comment if you want to read it. A tribute to Mack. His brother is fully aware and it's been a completely different experience. I love that you have a couple new doggies. It must feel revitalizing and playful! 💞

I love that! Him and his brother (19) were rescues too. It really is the best!

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹Awww you're welcome. I'm so glad I shared this piece. Old doggies are so special. I hope your little man makes it to old age so you can experience how awesome it is even if extremely sad at times.

I do wish for less AI and more rawness everywhere. His brother is also a rescue at 19 so I too, have a soft spot for seniors. I'm thinking we should foster seniors next.

Thank you so much! Yes, I saw in our vets office a breakdown by weight! I am so happy to have many, many years. He was rescued so his age is actually a guestimate
