My BFF


My BFF is slowing aging out of life.  Bubba just mostly sleeps.  As you might know, he is mostly blind, mostly deaf.  All fall he wanted me to be on the sofa with him while he slept.  If I left the sofa for any reason, he would follow my scent if he could, get lost, bark and bark, until I would rescue him and go  back to the sofa so he could sleep right up next to my leg.  The last week or so, he has taken over Blueberry's favorite spot.  Who knows why.  Each time I cannot immediately find him, I think I might find he has lost his will to continue on.  HRH and I try to make his life as comfortable and easy as we can.  After fifteen years of faithful loyalty to us, we owe him that.  I am so gonna miss him when the non avoidable end happens!

Oh, I feel so sad about your dog....I have a medium sized one who seems old already at 9.
