day worker 296 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 she's only eight but is a big lump and has been struggling a bit with stiffness and an old injury in her front left paw is causing her problems! although she is the most fired up dog i've owned and she seriously would run through brick walls i want her to have some quality of life as she gets older!shes put herself on the line over and over again giving me and those who had worked with her loads of pleasure i think i owe her this!
