Anna,

My mom has a Rotty mix (Rosey) that is about 10 or 11, they aren't sure because they rescued her when she was 2 or 3, but she is going through a similar thing with her. She doesn't seem to want to be around them and goes in the back room and sleeps all day.

I would be interested to know what you find out if you take Angus to the vet. Our vet put Rosey on some meds for arthritis and it helped some, but the overall attitude is the same and they just aren't sure what to do.

good luck and thanks,

Sally
