Older...

One bummer about having a Mastiff is that their life expectancy is much shorter than a smaller dog. Little aches and pains take on more import with a big dog - a little arthritis in the shoulder means harder time going up and down the stairs. With a smaller dog this is inconvenient but if you had to you could carry the dog back downstairs...with a giant dog this isn't really feasible. Mushy isn't old yet but she is getting creakier has started favoring her right foot. She is the most wonderful pet I have ever had and I can't quite imagine what life beyond her at her best will be like. Sigh.

"Sit"

Yes, she is sitting on the foot stool!
