Since NN will be closed before Faith's next Birthday, I'll post a little update on her. She will be 13 on July 8th. She's doing well for the most part. She can no longer make it up the back porch steps by herself so when she's ready to come back into the house, she lets out a loud, "ARR ARR" She sounds like a seal now. LOL. She still has a hearty appetite and loves snoozing the day away on the couch or loveseat. Her back end is getting a little weaker and she's a little wobbly but she's thankfully able to do what she wants to do...aside from getting up the back steps. She does try though. She'll but her paws on the second step and I hoist her the rest of the way. She can still be strong minded at times and tries her best to be naughty..LOL. Especially when I've tried to get her to come in on a sub zero day. She'll try and take off running, giving it her best shot and then realizes I could quickly catch her if I wanted. Gotta love that she still has spunk and spirit:lol:



She loves snuggling with us on the couch. Never used to be much of a snuggler but boy does she love it now. Hopefully we'll have her much longer, provided it's in her best interest.


Faith is now the oldest dog we've ever had. Before her was Maia who passed at 12 years, 4 months.

So very happy for you Mary. 13 is just awesome. I really believed that's what we would have had with Zeke, he really took me by surprise. Keep on loving her and let her do her thing! Love the fact she's a snuggler now!

Awwww. She sounds like a sweet old gal. Congrats on making it to such a venerable age! Hope she is snuggling with you for years to come.

An early Happy Birthday to Chase's half sister. Hope you have many more years with her. Chase lived to be 3 days shy of 13 1/2 and Elwood, Chase's litter mate made it to 14 years and 4 days. It is in her genes for a long life!

Happy birthday Faith! I didn’t realize my Elwood and Jeannie’s Chase has a half sister here. So glad she’s doing well at 13. We got Elwood (he made it to 14) the Help Em Up Harness and it did wonders. Please give her a kiss for me!

That was my plan Angela but by the time I was ready to submit the info, it was the deadline day and I'd missed my chance. With any luck she'll still be with us next year and I will do it then.



I think she's ready for winter to be over. It will be so much easier for her to get around once the snow is gone. Still though, she's thankfully doing quite well.
