Sasha

Ferguson Forest

My first entry for this month is of Sasha last April. Although she had slowed down considerably, she was still keen on walks, we just didn't do very long ones. She loved to get out and sniff the new smells, especially in early spring after the snow had melted in some spots. Looking back, this makes me happy because I can see how she was still, at age 13, doing pretty well. Now, at 14, not so much. Still alert and happy but her arthritis makes it hard to walk much, and her Cushing's disease means that her lovely bushy tail has lost most of its hair, and her flanks ditto. So looking back on this I am very happy to see her enjoying herself.

Sorry to hear she is not doing great. It’s so hard when they get old. The mind is still there but the body just starts having such a hard time. She does look good in this photo. Such a wonderful friend.

So hard to see a well loved companion grow frail. This is a beautiful photo of her in a happier time.

Sasha doing what dogs do - sniffing around.

elle semble bien s'amuser... maintenant, effectivement les problèmes de santé doivent lui poser problème mais personne ne peut y échapper, même les humains... espérons simplement qu'ils ne s'aggraveront pas ! v

good to have such a stock of images to look back on...age catches up with all of us, and seeing that can be distressing..

A beautiful image of Sasha enjoying a good sniff Christine. Sasha blends in well with the earth-tones.
