My Golden Retriever, Rusty, or better known to us as Pookie has been with us for 13 years and is my bestest buddy. I love him to pieces and words cannot express how much joy he has brought our family.
I do have some sad news to report, though. He has a carcinoma in his nose. The vet suggested to just leave it alone because of his age and just keep him comfy and happy.
He is still doing pretty good eating, playing and is very happy. The only problem is he is having a hard time breathing...kinda like when we get a cold and are stuffy.
I'm gonna keep him as happy as I can for the time I have left with him.
Now, for a fun story. My little 5 month old grandaughter has a Yellow Lab and the other day she was sitting in her little swing and my DIL went into the kitchen for just a minute. When she came back the dog had pulled my grandaughter's shoes and socks off and Marisah was giggling and the dog was sitting there with his tongue hanging out.
