Then & Now ~

 

Ernestine eight years ago at Christmas ~ the year DSO adopted her.  Look at that black face!


And now at age 13 1/2.  That grey face melts my heart.


Poor girl is showing her age ~ arthritis and hip dysplasia 😭.  Even for a furkid, growing old is not for sissies.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Did she do the pug circle dance when she was younger? They're funny dogs, very cool.

Growing old is not for sissies. I thought the hip dysplasia was more for larger dogs.
Sweet little face

Aww gosh, I see a bit of me in Miss Ernestine’s expression there. I enjoyed my 60’s but a year into the 70’s decade has me achey and slow. What a precious little lady she is

When we bred Shumba we had her OFA certified and made sure the stud was certified as well. Didn't know smaller dogs had hip problems.
