MAN’S BEST FRIEND

Those of us who are dog lovers and have a dog for a pet should know just how smart a canine can be. I have two little house dogs, a Shi-tzu and a Dachshund.

The old wiener dog, Brownie, is close to 20 years old and so it is almost like having an old man in the house. Brownie sleeps a lot, but gets up and slowly meanders around the house. After all he is at least close to 90 in dog years.

He has always been a good eater and it seems as if his long long tummy is never full. So, as long as he eats good, we feel he is doing well.
