Old man

Lakemont, GA(Zone 8a)

Here is Apollo, our 13 yr old red dobie. He is my second dobie.This pic is several yrs old[2-3] so sadly he doesn't look that good any more. He has went downhill very fast in this past year. He is literally covered in benign [under the skin] tumors and has an enlarged heart. His hearing and eyesight have diminished a bit. As long as he isn't suffering, we are going to let nature run its course with him. I expect to find him dead everyday when I go to his pen to feed him. I breathe a sigh of relief [and thanks to God] when I see him moving around. I pray I won't be alone when I find him, that it will be DH who does, or that he'll be home with me.
