Hi Pirate!

It's me, Ozzy. The vet thinks I am at least 14 and more like a late 15. Mum was reading to me about ya, and so much of it sounds JUST LIKE ME! I can't hold my tail up over my back any more, it just seems like a really heavy tail these days, ya know?

I don't leak, but I don't tell mum when I have to go, either. Just today she put up another baby gate to keep me in the linoleum areas during the day. Like your mom said, for easier clean ups.

As for the tummy troubles, yup, that is me! I have to have the same thing in the same amount at the same time each and every day. We learned the hard way too, that even one little thing different get me nauseous and it all comes up. Tsk, tsk. So mum just gives me lots of luvin's when the others get treats.

I too have my favorite spots in pet beds and they are all off the beaten trail here, so I don't have to cope with 3 other fluffs, and those pesky kitties.

But the moment mum moves, I'm right there behind her! If she makes a quit stop I bump into her, as I don't see too well. And if she turns, I risk getting stepped on. Mum is really good and not stepping on me; but she mutters about her falling and breaking her neck on of these days, I don't know what that is all about. **shrugs**

My bichon blitz got posted on here as a video a while back. Phred said it looked like it was filmed in slo mo, te hee.

So I appreciate your situation, sweet Pirate. We senior pups need to stick together and let everyone know we gots plenty of lovin to give, even if it is in SLO MO!! Hope you get some more of those nice scritchies! I love those as well.
