Hibbs is now sixteen & 1/2 years old!

Hibbs is still with us. He is still eating, drinking, sleeping, & going to the bathroom so to speak. He is pretty weak but the little bugger keeps on going. He doesn't seem to be in any pain. He is blind in one eye and nearly blind in the other. He can't hear from one ear but does hear some from the other. I can tell that he is a little senile. He kind of gets lost in the back yard.

I no longer walk him around the pond. It is to much for him. Sometimes I will take him across the street but I have to carry him up the front stairs. He doesn't like to be carried. When he goes in back yard there are no stairs that he must use. He can go around the steps to the upper and lower yard.

It is apparent that we will not have him with us much longer. We are getting the most of our time left. He still loves to be petted and looks for affection. I will post when Hibbs passes on.

Heeks is nearly thirteen years old and she is in pretty good health. She is losing some sight but she is still active and walks with me twice a day. I can see changes and expect more to come but that is the way it is for all of us as we age. :)

That is all for now.
