@monicaduncan I feel you on the aging of your dog. My partner brought a border collie/beagle to our relationship when we got together and he was a super active, awesome guy. He passed last year at the age of 15 and it got rough watching him tire so easily, and not be able to play as long/hard...

@monicaduncan Ha, thank you. I feel the same way, but wanted to check myself as I've never owned the breed before and don't know what I don't know. I agree, I think I need to advocate a bit more for myself. I know this dog will go to a loving home who will put him/her first in most ways, and...
