Not Doing Well

Hey guys, it's me Lady. I am not doing so good these days and I wanted to jump on before I can't anymore. I'm not in much pain, put I don't have the strength to get around anymore. I can barely get enough strength to get up and move. Mom has been great helping me get up on my feet but I don't get to far without my legs coming out from under me. Lady II had this problem towards the end. It's not easy getting older and I trust in my humans they will do what is best for me and them. Gracie has been so sweet. She has been by my side most of the days. She doesn't leave my side when I try to get up until I do. She is going to miss me soon. I have come to love her and she has a lot of learning to do still. Mom helped me get outside and sit under a tree yesterday (before the storms). I got a huge bowl of ice water to my self and just let the heat work some magic on these bones. It helped enough for me to get a comfortable position to sleep in for the afternoon. Mom says she will keep all updated on me because I may not be able to get on again. I just wanted to tell all my friends out there that I miss running and playing at the park but I will be back with Lady II soon.
