The problem is, he's an old giant, now, and occasionally, he let's us know when he's not up for jumping in the car or climbing steps. It can be upsetting, but we understand and don't push him. Instead, we do the best we can for him. For example, today I made him peanut butter and glucosamine birthday trifles. Fancy schmancy. He loves 'em and the glucosamine helps his mobility, for sure. Maybe the protein-rich peanut butter does, too… but that's the "candy" for him!
Happy Birthday, Sweet Pooch. You enhance our lives beyond words.
