DOG WALK by Kate DwyerThe dog is old, muzzle frosted, hips narrow and unruly.Outings now are more meditation than distance traveled, more amble than cavort.There was a time for bounding.Leashes in impossible tangles.He'd gallop past, ears laid back, neck outstretched.So much energy, we'd squander it on capers measured in miles.It's all about the stopping now.He picks his way down the block, back toes dragging just a little. The photo of the two dogs is Ruger as a youngster lying next to Adirondac Rondeau CDX JH WCX who was 15+ at that time. He is just one example of the true "golden" years.

Adirondac Reddog Ruger UD SH WCX RAE is presently just shy of 15 years of age.
