If it wasn't for the damn bird shots all over his body he'd be aging VERY well, but he gets lame, sometimes VERY lame.

I got him from the pound when he was about 8 months old. They found him tied to a telephone pole on the side of a dirt road, no houses for a mile.
Well a few years ago he starting getting lame, we took x-rays thinking it was going to be hip displysia but his hips are PERFECT, we found 22 bird shots in just his one back leg. We thought they were bb's at the time but just a couple years ago one appeared in his front leg, same side, it was just under like 1 layer of skin so I lanced it out. It was a bird shot.
One is lodged in his hock joint which is causing major arthritis. It's been in there so long nothing can be done about it, the bone grew around it.
That & he has a few tumors, some fatty but one is most likely cancer, it is on his right side, makes him look fat on that side. It is part way under his rib cage & the only way to operate on it is to break his rib cage & I don't want his last part of life struggling trying to heal a broken rib cage. So we are letting it be.

Otherwise he's in great spirits & does well. He is a puppy at heart thats for sure.
