We all start to slow down when we get older; doggies too. And they count on us to be there to help them. Right now perhaps medical care is not something your family can easily provide. The most important thing, and the thing that Buster most looks for, is your love. And I think you give him plenty of that You might have to help him a bit getting around, speaking a little louder, etc. But having you around him is his greatest comfort. And Rini, he probably will start to need to go out a little more often now too for potty. Their bladders just can't hold it as long as they can when they are younger. I know how hard it is to see our best friends getting older. But just continue to love him and hug him and let him know you're there. You're a very special Mom to your boy Buster. Please give him a big hug from Sandra, Cody and Star And come here to talk whenever you need to.
