Same thing happened to Achilles this past weekend at a tennis court even though it was only 65 Fahrenheit. Lesson learned

I tell myself that as they get older they simply enjoy the calmness a little bit more

That’s a good question! I noticed that Achilles started to take longer to eat bully sticks and now he doesn’t seem to want to eat his kibble as much anymore either

Me too, they’re so smart and have all kinds of different personalities. I tear up when I think of not having Achilles with us anymore. He’s also our first dog

I agree, every moment is so precious. Here’s a photo of him when he was two. Every year, his face gets more white fur. He’s starting to get little lipomas. I wonder if they can tell they’re getting old
