I was outside with Rocky today. He's my 13 1/2 yr old pitbull. He was loving the weather. Didn't want to come in.So I swooped him up in my arms (all 40lbs of him) and carried him up on the deck. I'm sure he thought he was going to have to go inside (although his lunch was waiting on him) . But I sat in the lawn chair and put him on my lap. We sat there for the longest time enjoying probably one of the last great fall days. I enjoyed it all the more because it could be his last fall. He's old but not sick. A little frail but still feisty. Last winter wa so hard on him polar vortex not withstanding. So we just sat and enjoyed a beautiful fall day. The sky so blue, leaves falling, decorative pears boinking us on the head as we walked along. I will always remember this day, Rocky whether you live a few more days or a few more years. Love ya, Rocky! Mom
