9th Birthday post with puppy photos SQUEE!!
This morning she jumped up into bed for some morning snuggles, which really means she just wants to roll around and squish her head into the covers and make a royal mess. And I smiled. My old dog is as happy as she has ever been and besides her diminishing eyesight, is pretty dang healthy. She loves to go out and run each morning, and plays with Lu doing zoomies. She loves to sniff and roll in the grass or dead things. And she loves to bark, gawd that dog loves to bark. I've given up brushing out her pants and just clip any bad areas, and she puts up with me still doing her nails. She hates the dremel but loves the cheese. Sharkdog. For now, she can get on our bed, because there is carpet by it that gives her traction to get up and down. She no longer jumps on the guest bed. Last night apparently she misjudged the front porch, but by the time I got home and let her out, she made a good choice and went around to the stairs. Despite a few mishaps, she's pretty thoughtful in her aging process. She's like a fine wine, getting better with age. Happier and more easy-going and so forgiving. I'm lucky to have her in my life.
