Poor Old Man

This is Bruiser.


He is 12 years old which, if you're doing your canine math, equals completely geriatric.

It's beginning to show.

You see, he wants to keep up with this spry 2 year old fellow, Duncan, who...

...can leap several feet high and streak after a frisbee as if his very tail depends on it.

But keep up, he can not.


*sigh*

He's got a little vim and vigor left in him. Check out this action shot:

However, we're beginning to wonder if he should go on daily walks anymore since they sometimes leave him hobbling around the backyard.

But this is what we see when the boys sense a walk is about to begin:

How can we resist?

And the eyes! Oh those eyes...

*another sigh*

Poor dear, furry, drooling old man...

Ahhhh....I say take him for the walks. It may be his happiest times with you as he gets old. :)

That's what I think, too, Christy, but it's so sad to see him stiff-legged and semi-stumbling. :(
