Hi, Hoggles. I have two dogs. One is Abby and she is a Llasa Apso mix that I adopted about 10 years ago, which makes her about 13 now. She is spoiled and has my husband under her control. She is in really good health for her age. The other one is Maltese and his name is Scooter. He is also around 13. I adopted him when he was 10. He is plagued with allergies that affect everything from his skin, ear infection and eye infections. He is starting to show signs of arthritis and other signs of decline. They are both a great comfort to me and my husband.
