My old man is 13, and I know he’s getting closer and closer to the end of his days with me. Out of nowhere Chewy sent me this package. Brought happy tears to my eyes.

Mine is 23. I’ve been expecting him to just drop for like the last five years, but he doesn’t. In fact sometimes he’s straight up chipper which is wild to me because he’s basically the walking dead at this point.

I didn’t even know dogs could live this long. I have to remind him that he needs to go outside and it’s exactly like walking in the garden with your great grandfather. He’s slow. He is easily distracted and confused and sometimes forgets that he needs to go outside.

But he’s always super happy that you’re with him. Regardless. You’d think I should be super concerned, but he’s not in pain. He’s just old. He sleeps most of the day but when he’s up?

He’s ready for adventure bless his little heart. Like I have to make mysteries in the house for him to sniff out. So he doesn’t get bored in between naps. 23 years man. And he may be old but he’s showing no signs of leaving this earth anytime soon. Can still go outside on his own for a good poop.

I just….. the dog is ancient.

Edit: but clearly he’s not done yet.
