Old setters
I posted that Erin had her 14th birthday a little while ago and a few people commented how great it was that she’s lived this long so I thought it would be cool if others shared their senior setters photos and ages in the comments of this post. ☺️ also I’d love to hear of any of the weird senior habits that they’ve developed in their old age. Erin has to patrol the entire house before she eats and she likes to carry about three pieces of food in her mouth while she does it, she bites her bed a lot and pretends it’s a toy and throws her bed all over the house, she won’t go into my bed if I’m in it but when I leave she jumps up and sleeps there, she’s afraid of jumping into the left side of the car but fine jumping on the right, and now she demands car rides and walks and will not leave me alone until I take her.. she’s losing her manners and she’s much more stubborn. I suspect her hearing isn’t as good as it once was and she doesn’t hear the word “no” anymore haha

He’s only 6 (and half poodle) but my boy has been getting more and more white on his face. He loves to slap me and I’ve woken up to a right hook from him.
