yea they really are big part of the family and they make us get exercise when on some days we wouldn't bother if we didn't have them . we had a black lab put down a couple of months ago he was 13 and it was heart braking at the time but he was a resue dog too and he was about 2 when we got him he had been so ill treated but we knew he had a good happy 11 years with us

Ah that's a lovely older dog too. If I was rich and had a big house

And garden , I would have lots of animals, but I have an

Apartment, they give us such joy. Enjoy them.

If she's an older lab it could be a little arthritis due to extra weight and age. She looks healthy and a good weight though! Have a word with the vets & nurses, theres lot of great medications and herbal remedies for arthritis! :)

thanks yes will have a word with vet but she had check up few months ago and they said she was ideal weight and heart and every thing was healthy but yes I think she has got a bit of arthritis she gets very stiff at times and legs are little shaky at times too just started giving her the pedigree joint care pluss sticks reviews was good on them so see if they help her

Beautiful dogs. My cross Labrador, Max, lived to 11 yrs old but the last 2 years he was in a lot of pain with arthritis.

PDSA were brilliant with him and gave a new lease of life for a good while with steroids and pain killers but, as soon as they stopped the pills, he went down hill quickly.

We used to have to carry him to bed and lift him on it. In the end, we had to have him put down because he was suffering.

I've had dogs all my life and have another one now but, I'll never love another dog the way I loved him.

I think every one who keeps dogs has one special one that stood out against all the others

They are gorgeous. I expect the puppy is a lovely companion for Honey. honey has a good figure, she looks magnificent for a 10 year old.

My old Jack Russell wheezed when she got old, she lived to be 18½ years.
