Share Your Golden Retriever
Old Dogs Stories!
Old dogs face many challenges. After fun years of romping and running, their bodies simply won't go as fast and as far as they used to.
Maybe their tummies become more sensitive, and they need to eat smaller, more frequent meals.  They might be facing the humiliation of incontinence, too. Poor dears.
Do you have an elderly Golden Retriever in your household? How is your Golden Oldie getting along these days? Is your Golden challenged by physical or medical problems? What tips and tricks have you worked out to make your oldster's life a bit easier? How have you changed your Golden's routine and lifestyle to accommodate the challenges faced by many elderly dogs? It helps if you can keep your sense of humor. How has your Golden Oldie brought a smile to your lips and laughter to your heart? Watching our precious old ones deteriorate is often quite painful, but a burden shared is half as heavy. Share your concerns and heartaches with us, so we can perhaps lighten your load just a bit.
