Happy Birthday Willie

My beloved pup, Willie, had his 15th birthday this past week. I used to joke around that in my house we have a 14 year minimum agreement, but now I've had a full year of bonus time.

He's really starting to slow down and more often than not, I have to carry him downstairs in the morning until he can get all his joints working. He still has to be in the middle of the action, although now he's more content to watch the activity. He can't hear and his sight is starting to go, but the nose is still fully functional along with the ever-present Springer appetite.

Willie, you are a great dog. Happy 15!
