A True Dog

The bond with
a true dog
is as lasting as
the ties of this earth
will ever be.

Little Sophie Belle had a vet wellness appointment today. At 14 1/2, she has had a few changes in her health. She no longer can hear. She is developing cataracts. Her kidneys are getting tired so we will be changing her to a prescription renal diet. Hopeful that will keep kidney failure at bay for another year or two.

On the bright side, she has good energy, a good appetite and is good company. My little critter.❤️

Nice on Black.

Thank you all for your kind comments regarding Sophie Belle. She is a happy little trooper. We discovered the slight elevation in her kidney function and by changing her diet, we can keep it from renal failure for a long time. I didn't like the prescription diet ingredients so I found her a different low protein prescription diet with healthy real food. I need a new prescription from her vet. I hope Sophie likes it.
