        I'm so glad to hear that Rowdy made a good recovery, maybe the
up&down will get easier as he builds muscle from all the long walks. I
really have a soft spot in my heart for the old dogs. My nearly 15 year old
aussie Bess still goes all the walks with the rest of the pack... she
toddles along and has a great time. Just recently I've started feeding her
these rice treats coated with shark cartledge which are supposed to help
with joints and she really seems to have more spring in her step. But maybe
it's just Spring itself doing that....
        Anyway, thanks for the update on Rowdy!
