Apache now is 15-years-old. His knee joints are weak and wobbly causing him to list. He has suffered from allergies all of his life and seems to have flare ups more often than not. He has a heart murmur. He has lost his hearing. He is nearly blind with milky cataracts. Although fragile, he is still fun loving and feisty. We are so lucky to have this good-natured mutt as a part of our family. He is loved. Apache died August, 2011. Oh, we are missing him.
