    1. We have loved our adventures together over the years and when she’s feeling good it’s easy to forget her age. Gabby’s health issues and bad knees have worsened over the last few years, but we keep trying to find ways for her to still enjoy being outdoors and the stroller has helped.πŸ™‚

    1. Thank you!πŸ™‚ Gabby has had health issues for years, but lately she has tried to really scare me with her illnesses at least once a month. Once she feels better she looks ready for the next adventure and I’m happy we have more time to enjoy and spoil her.

    1. When I heard this song yesterday I thought of the many, many times I have made that wish and how much joy Gabby has brought to my life.πŸ™‚

        I know. We have an aging dog who is blind and in declining health. So sad they don’t live longer. For us it is especially poignant as Liam will be our last dog. Makes me teary just to think about it.

      2. It’s so difficult to think of them not in our lives. They give so much love and companionship and it’s so hard to watch them struggle with age and illnesses. The house is so quiet when Gabby is ill and I’m going to keep wishing daily for more time with her.

        Yes. Sigh. Same here with Liam, whose appetite has diminished in the past week. My heart is in my throat as I write this. Could be that we have him for a good while longer, but who knows? One thing is sure, we love our dog buddies.

      4. I so hope Liam’s appetite improves soon. Gabby has been very ill again and they often mention at the vet’s office that they see more illnesses when the seasons change.

        Oh, so sorry! Best to Gabby. Hope she makes a full and speedy recovery. How we love our dog buddies! Liam goes to the vets next week, and we will see if there are any insights.

    1. I love the stroller, but, unlike the bicycle seat which she loved instantly, it has taken her awhile to give her approval of the stroller.πŸ™‚

  5. Cute! πŸ™‚
    We just got a new carrying case for one of our dogs (Lola)… and two fancy beds for our other dog, Gabbie. They are too spoiled! Gabbie turns 16 on Saturday. πŸ™‚
