and for once, not so fast...


Sunshine 14/52, originally uploaded by manymuddypaws.

Wicca is 7 years old now. And I notice. And it makes me sad.

Mostly it's small things- she naps more in the day/evening now. She tires out sooner. She actually slept flat out at training last week when Pixel had her turn! She likes to sleep in now. She likes to cuddle (I attribute that to her mellowing out due to age as she certainly didn't cuddle before..) And I can see it in her colors aswell. You can see in this photo quite well how the white is creeping up on her muzzle and ears...

I wish there was a way to keep them young forever.

We wish the same thing for our aging corgi kids, now 9 and 11.
Such bright, happy dogs, and so glad that we've been able to share many days with them. It will never, be enough~

Wilson will be 8 in May...I know the feeling!

They don't need to live for ever....they just need a human life span.

My girl is almost 14 years old. Breaks my heart how painfully obviously old she is now. At the same time, I know a lot of dogs don't reach her age so I'm glad she is having a long and pain free life. Keeping them young forever would certainly be more fun though. :)
