your vet tell you that not only is your 11.75 yo dog in incredibly good
shape, but that she fully expects her to see 16!

Lucy had her annual exam today. Her last one was a year ago this coming
Saturday, the same day we lost Franklin. That made it a little hard to
go to the animal hospital. I can't believe it's been almost a year
since we had to say goodbye to my silly boy.

Lucy was a svelte 62.2# and my vet agreed with me that she's in very
good condition. I credit a lot of that to Rudy and Marcie, her personal
training team. Still, I know that every year is precious and I am so
happy to have her healthy and sweet. She greeted every single person
who entered the hospital, and people are all sucked in by her very sweet
face and charming demeanor.

I just love her to pieces and sure hope the vet's prediction comes true!

Amen to that!

There has been far too much bad news here lately. I for one am pulling for
Lucy to have a long and healthy life.

That is really something for the vet to say. In my experience, vets just
don't speculate on longevity, so your vet saying that right out loud is
fantastic.

And that's a great photo. If that bear were here for 10 minutes it would be
a memory and a small pile of stuffing.

Lucy looks just wonderful.

They all seem to respect "Ike" (ok, he came from IKEA, I'm not very
original!). Plus, he makes a great pillow!

Janet,
She look does look in very good condition. She looks like the queen of
her kingdom in that photo, abolutely majestic.
The photo and Karla's comment made me wonder about the bear's life span
here. I don't know if they would be as inclined to tear it limb from
limb as they would a small stuffed animal. (I am speaking of the boy
dogs, not Lady) I won't be finding out as I can't afford a toy of that
size for them to rip to pieces if it goes as usual.
