Senility - I am not looking forward to it!


As I have posted previously, my dog is 15 years old. He has begun to become more senile each week. He has gone from eating my socks, which he retrieves from the very back of my night stand. Lately, I have noticed that his eye sight is starting to fail him. In the dark of night, he used to be able to see me. Now however, he will bump into me without seeing me. He is using his nose a lot more to check out his surroundings instead of using his eyes.

Seamus has also been wanting to spend a lot of time outside. He consistently whines to go out. He will lay down and go to sleep even when it is below freezing. I have to constantly be aware where he is so he does not freeze to death. I know we all if we are lucky enough to live to old age, all have this possibility to become senile. I love Seamus to death. I just seem to get frustrated more often with him. May he live another year.
