Sonic, who is 12 year old in dog years or 62 year old in human years had his annual vet appointment on Thursday. He lost one pound, his heart murmur is about the same as it has been for the last five year, but he is starting to go blind in his left eye. Darin and I have noticed he has been a little slower, but we figured his legs and joints are hurting him, which are common for his type and breed. We haven't noticed anything usually with his eyes or him bumping into things. We've been most concerned with his heart murmur and have been watching for continuous signs of progression, but its been okay. For his eyes, there is medication available to "slow" the progression, which is good. We just hope he doesn't suffer or the blindness progresses faster than expected. This is a picture of Sonic this morning, spending time out on the deck, which he loves.

Grand-dog is feeling his age just like me! Sorry to hear about his eyes. Just keep loving and feeding him those treats and he will be content. Love xoxoxo and pets for Sonic. Grandma H
