I know just what you mean.....my bullmastiff girl will be 14 years old in August. (Normal top age in good health is 9 years although we''ve had a few live a little longer.) I'm floored that my Gale has lasted this long. She stopped eating and had a hard time moving and I thought this is it....she will be leaving us soon. But two days at the vet and two weeks of drugs got her back to her old self. She is so tuff! I expect herto go any day but I'm happy she is with me now just a little bit longer.
I hope your brain has a very relaxing time...you deserve some down time. Although I don't know how I will cope while your gone. And what's with this posting to facebook? I don't do facebook......is going to your site as well? Well, take care and try not to worry too much......we all love you! : )
