12. That is kinda sweet

We have to put our garbage cans up or close the door to the rooms with them - our dogs love to dig in them for food, for random wrappers and worse bathroom garbage stuff.

Our two eldest dogs that have since passed on never really developed any senile behaviors. Our dogs now are 12 and 8 so we shall wait and see.

Everyone here has such sweet stories of their furbabies.
