Animal Wednesday


This Sweet boy is my dog Zeus. He is very old, and is having a hard time. Sometimes he falls and most times I have to lift him into the car, but he still runs with me. We never go more than a mile because the vet said not to. He loves it though and we will continue to go until the end.
He is the sweetest dog in all the world and makes friends with all animals and people.
Happy Wednesday! XOXO

Annie you are a dear soul. You have a soft spot for animals which I treasure. I am always closer to animals than humans. I hope your boy lasts many more years in good health. We all get old but as long as there is quality of life, we should be allowed to carry on.

You are precious, Zeus! A god among dogs, to be sure!

Great looking dog! He looks a bit like Boscoe (Laurie's dog)

He's beautiful! I think it's so wonderful that you are giving Zeus so much love and care, and are allowing him to have his dignity in his old age. He has such a contented look on his sweet face. His eyes so expressive!

Did I every tell you? We adopted our Australian Shepherd, Beau, 4 years ago when he was 6 or 7. Even then he already had a serious tremor in his hind legs. Since then, he's had bladder surgery and a growth removed from his lower spine. He almost died from a serious infection after the second surgery, but we're so lucky he's still with us.

We have to help Beau sometimes, too, because his hind legs don't always work anymore. And we can't go for long walks anymore, either, because he might not be able to make it back home or to the car.

It's sad to see them get old. I understand your deep love for your Zeus.

I know you'll enjoy each day you have together. Look into his gorgeous eyes, because they will tell you how he's feeling.

Many, many hugs and lots of love,
xoxoxo

Hi Zeus,
Nice to meet you. You are so lucky to have Annie and Annie is lucky to have you. A huge hug.

ExtraO said...

aww... what a lucky boy to have you.

Annie said...

Everybody-Zeus says hello, and thank you for all the well wishes :-). As for the running, I am a slow runner and if he lags behind I walk so he can catch up, somedays we just walk. My knees are not so good these days, but Zeus really comes alive with joy when he is running, so I think that keeps him going :-). xoxo
