My dog is beginning to really show her age. We recently celebrated her 10th birthday and for a Great Dane, that is a serious Senior Citizen. Like any good old dog, her manners aren't what they used to be. In the past week, she's started getting on the furniture when we're not in the room and then getting off when she hears us coming back as if we won't notice that the corner of the couch is now covered in hair and the cusions are on the floor - sneaky. Thismorning was the worst... she accidentally pooped on the floor when she stood up out of her bed. We were mortified. We finally get the girl out of diapers and now the dog needs 'em. Honey has cateracts that are getting bigger - everyone comments on them and asks whether or not she can see. Yes, she can but I'm not so sure her hearing is that good. She barks all the time now but, not when you'd actually expect her to like when someone is at the door. She just barks her big bark for no real reason.
She has lost a bit of weight in the last couple of months and it's harder to get her to eat. The best days for her are the ones that Joel takes her to work with him. She gets to be with him all day which is all she really wants and when they get home, she eats without me having to put eggs or beef broth on her food and is generally very well behaved. I guess he'll just have to take her with him more often.
