    It is, as they say, a dog’s life.... Hours and hours and hours he spends on his pillow, upside down, in front of the fire.

    You should see his face when I move the pillow into the laundry...

    Getting towards the end of her working life. One days hunting of 10km like yesterday and it takes her several days to recover. I'm the same.

    A bit sad perhaps, but also pretty satisfying to see a dog live a happy and successful life.

    Poor old girl. Maybe slow down a bit or make your trips a bit shorter if you can. I know the feeling, I can still work anyone at work under the table, but takes me days to recover now.
    As long as she is still enjoying herself that's the main thing. Not good when you see their mind is willing but the body can't keep up.

    Have used it with all my dogs in their later years.
