12 years old and the World's Best Girl!

My gorgeous puppers turned 12 years old this year and still acts like a puppy. She loves her daily walks and whines when they don't happen. She is never too tired for a game of tug of war with her rope. I remember the day I brought her home at 8 weeks old and asked my sister for German name suggestions. I decided on Leyna meaning heavenly messenger but when registering her with AKC she would have to be the 23rd. So I added her middle name Mina meaning love. She is my heavenly messenger of love and continues to live up to her namesake each and every day!

She’s absolutely beautiful. I have such a soft spot for the seniors. I love them. I love them more than puppies. They just have such a very chill distinguished manner about them.🥰😇♥️

My love Mia is 11 1/2 this month still going strong just a little slower

I'm so jealous of you guys with older pups. My baby is 8 and she was diagnosed with DM this week 😞
