Tom is 17 and has come in to rescue. He is a lovely old man who I have to say is no trouble at all. He is a bit away with the fairies and does have severe arthritis in his back legs especially. This makes it difficult for him to manage stairs but he has gone on to a daily dose of Metacam and joint supplements and is already showing an improvement.
We may need to get some work done on his teeth but are waiting to see how her gets on before making a decision. He is great with all the other dogs and is coming for a back scratch and tickle now.
Will get some pics of him.

Tom has been pts. The vet and I had a long talk about him and his quality of life or lack of. I made the decsion with a very heavy heart but felt that this was the right thing to do for this old chap.
Have agreat time at the bridge Tom with those crippled limbs full of strength and free of pain again.
