Yeah we have a small dog who is 10 if im correct and she acts like a 3 yr old dog would, she even had her liver and kidneys all checked at the vets and they came out really good, My guess she is going to be living another good 10 yrs atleast but sandy on the other hand is starting to wear down more and doesnt like to be bothered as much although she has her good days when she is up jumping and playing.
