Doggy Signs of Aging

He’s scaring me this morning…

How so?

He stopped… lifting his leg up to pee…

Oh…

You’ve experienced it? You’ve had aging dogs?

Yes… πŸ˜” I’m sowweee baby, I know it’s gonna be hard… is this ur first old dog?

Yes… πŸ₯Ί

(Big big hugs and squeezes!!!) I’ll be here for it…

What do u mean? What do u foresee? πŸ₯Ί

Losing dogs is tough… it’s gonna be sad… not gonna lie, it’s devastating…

😭😭😭 I can’t bare the thought of this… as annoying as he sometimes is! All the barking and peeing and pooping!!!

I know… I’ve been thru it…

How many times? How many dogs? When?

In my childhood… total of 3 dogs…

You’ve been thru it 3 times!?!??!?!

Yes… it’s very sad… πŸ˜”πŸ’”

You’ve never written a song about losing a dog before…

πŸ˜… How can I write a song about that?!

I dunno… that was a random thought…

I just keep thinking of the movie “Marley and Me” — that was too sad… I watched it once and decided that’s not a movie I’m gonna watch a second time because it’s too sad!

Why would they make a movie where you fall in love with the dog then the dog dies?!?!?!

πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜… It’s… the storyline… I guess?

Babe… I can’t take it!!! 😣😣😣

I know… well he hasn’t died yet! He’s just stopped lifting his leg to pee?

Yeah… πŸ₯Ί

You still have some time…

How much time…?

I don’t know… I’m not a vet but… in my experiences? πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄πŸ₯΄ maybe another year?

You think so?!?!? (Google doesn’t have any answers!!!)

I’m not a vet… but that’s what I’ve observed with our family dogs from my childhood… maybe another year or two…? I can’t remember exactly now…

πŸ₯ΊπŸ₯ΊπŸ₯Ί

Don’t cry baby… he’s still around… at least u have him now…

Yeah… πŸ₯Ίβ€οΈ

I’ll be there, don’t worry… Ur not losing him before I get back…

But u’ll probably be on tour again by 2026 or whatever other projects.

I have my plans ready — for this situation when it happens — I won’t let you grieve alone. Any time it might happen. I’ve already thought through this.

Really?!?!? πŸ₯Ί

Yes!!! I love you 😘❀️

I love you too… I gotta go make breakfast…

Go! Love u! Enjoy ur time with ur dog while u still can! (Big big hugs and squeezes) 😘😘😘😘😘❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️
