Happy Birthday, Harry!

Harry turns 15 years old this week. Here's a pic of him after a game of ball in the yard this morning. Looks pretty good for an old man, doesn't he? His flyball days are long behind him but he sure does love to chase that tennis ball.



I started him on Adequan a couple of months ago--it's not producing the sort of miracle results that others have reported but he's certainly less stiff in the mornings and he falls over less often when playing. Adequan can be given subcutaneously so I do the injections at home. Even without drugs, for the past couple of years, I have been very careful when we play. No jumping (balls are rolled on the ground, not tossed in the air), no running on slippery floors, all tugging is very low and easy. I'm glad to report that he seems to have fully recovered from his idiopathic vestibular disease from back in April.

 Happy birthday, Harry!
