Happy to snuggle next to you on the couch and use you as a padded cushion to rest the oldie bones, and you daren't move for disturbing them, which you don't want to do as they look so sweet.
I treasured every one of my Spotty's oldie moments and wouldn't swap the memory of them for the world.

I could take her places where it was OK to let her run loose, let her swim, etc. I did keep her from cleaning up after the deer and rabbits.

I made the mistake of walking across a stubble field with him yesterday. Got about quarter of the way across and he wouldn't go any further so I had to give him a fireman's lift the rest of the way. He loved it
Good job he's only a Bedlington so doesn't weight loads (was still heavy though)! He's had a lovely potter around the field this morning and met a couple of dogs I usually walk with. He's been fast asleep since about 10 am.
Bryan and I have been out on the bike for an hour while Freddy stayed at home for a snooze
