She’s twelve, which is about what English coonhounds tend to reach, but has the heart of a much younger dog and the brains of a manual toaster.

Our hound mix is getting to that age, and has definitely slowed down.

Fingers crossed she can be kept comfortable for a good time yet. From a British perspective, the breed name English coonhound is quite funny given the total lack of raccoons here.

She is also the most apocalyptic stress shedder I have ever known, so both Kevin and I will need to change when we get home.

We (SAR handlers) are adding monthly librella (monoclonal antibodies) injections for our retired olds, on top of nutraceuticals, anti-inflammatories, and pain meds. For some dogs it has been near miraculous. Just started Old Man Cat on the kitteh version of the antibodies.

This feels like an opening to a somehow comedic version of Faulkner’s The Bear

Idk if it is available there but a single kratom capsule in a pill pocket can really help dogs with pain. I know it hasn’t been studied formally but I and several people I know have used it with dogs for years with no ill effects and with really good results. It increases their quality of life.

In my mind and certainly in what passes for hers, Beautiful Hound is surely only a couple years old at best. I remember when you got her yesterday!
