ANY OTHER TOY. KING IS CALM AND VERY GOOD WITH

OCTOBER 8, 2007 - KING PASSED AWAY AT
6:50PM IN HIS BACKYARD.
GO HERE (ACTIVITY PAGE).
KING IS STILL A VERY GOOD WALKER, HAS EXCELLENT
BEHAVIOUR AND A GOOD TEMPERAMENT. I GET MANY COMMENTS ON HOW CALM HE
IS AND GOOD WITH PEOPLE. KING IS NOT CHANGING INTO A DOG THAT CAN'T
BE TRUSTED. KING HAS AGED AND NOW A SENIOR DOG. YOU CAN SEE THE
DIFFERENCE IN HIS APPEARANCE AND HIS ACTIONS AFTER LONG WALKS. HIS
PHYSICAL HEALTH IS GOOD BUT HE DOES HAVE MINOR ARTHRITIS IN
HIS FRONT LEG (where he shows it). HE'S ON GLUCOSAMINE (vitamin for
joint support & pain) FOR IT PLUS
TO KEEP HIS BONES/JOINTS STRONG AS HE'S BEEN SHOWING HIS LEGS GET STIFF
AFTER LAYING DOWN AFTER WALKS. HE'S BEEN ON GLUCOSAMINE SINCE
OCTOBER 2005. DURING THE WINTER
KING SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN A LOT AND BE SLEEP MORE. I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS SUMMER WILL BE
HIS LAST ADVENTUROUS SUMMER. NEXT YEAR HE'LL HAVE TO SLOW RIGHT DOWN
AND BE MOSTLY A YARD DOG THAT TAKES THE OCCASIONALLY WALK OR HIKE.
KING HURT HIS BACK RIGHT HIP IN MID MARCH OF 2007 AND HAS BEEN
REALLY HAVING TROUBLE WALKING LONG DISTANCES. IN MID MAY KING HAS
SEEMED TO RECOVERED TO ALMOST FULL CAPACITY. BUT I KNOW ONE
SLIP/INJURY WILL LIMIT HIS ACTIVITIES FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. AS A
UNALTERED DOG, SPRING GIVES HIM A EXTRA BOOST TO DRIVE HIM TO THE
NEXT SPOT |
