Wordless Wednesday – Getting Old is Rough

July 22, 2015 by Janice

English Bulldog

Diesel – English Bulldog

Getting old is rough on all of us.

Diesel, who is keeping things chill in his sunset years, belongs to my fabulous friend Connie Peters, founder of Modern Mama.

Olivia and I were over for a playdate at the Peters’ house last week and I happened to have my camera with me. Diesel looked up at me and I just had to grab my camera and capture him.

He can barely climb the stairs anymore. He is almost deaf and mostly blind, but he still has plenty of snap in his bite when I held out a cookie to entice a smile.

    Awww, I love how you describe it as his sunset years. That’s a great way to look at it. He is such a beautiful dog and this shot is just gorgeous and captures his essence. New follower here. Found you when visiting 4 Lettre Words. 🙂

    Great picture. Reminds me of my old dog Hurty who passed away last year. He was going blind and had a seizure condition.
