The old boy joined me twelve years ago today. I had an old goofy pit bull at the time and no one could tire that girl out, so I went hunting for a companion for the pit. Picked on a whim for the dogs bonded quickly, the old boy is the smartest, most in tune dog I’ve ever had.
He is aging, now at fifteen plus, but it has been a good life. He’s never known me to leave home for a job, working remotely since before he arrived. He has been part of packs, and has had a few years solo with me, my daily companion. This ranch is his retirement home, and it is a gift for him to explore as well.
I will scritch his butt when he rises; sleeping is his new favorite activity.
