Lola had her 6 month check in today. The usual vet place is having a refurb so I had to take her elsewhere and the little shit was an absolute angel.
She's usually barking at everything in sight and you need to wrestle her at every turn in the room. She was anxious but done everything without any bother. The waiting room was empty then 2 hyperactive preschoolers with their dad and a litter of gorgeous blue Staffies came out of a room right into her space. I honestly worried for a minute that she'd go for one of the kids or a pup but there she was showing them her frizbee and having a good sniff.
No concerns on the health front though I definitely feel she's slowing down. She's about 7 and a half now by estimates and Mrs JBJ and myself have noticed her kind of stumbling recently. Not falling over or anything but she definitely isn't as steady on her feet as she used to be. I took her for a very long walk yesterday to tire her out before the vet today. She didn't do it but at one point she stop and for the first time ever I thought she was going to down tools and refuse to move.
She's also becoming more stubborn which is kind of funny but I think she's getting a bit anxious about being out at night too. It might just be that she's a princess and doesn't like the cold but last night she flat out refused to pass the boundary of our front yard until I had her leash on.
It's making me a bit sad thinking about her age and mortality but we should still get a good few more years out of her and however long she does have, we'll still spoil her way more than we should.
