I've had my German Shepherd since he was tiny present, he was a gift for my mum. He's been working by my since I became a dog handler. He is 9 years old next month and his hips are starting to go. They're lower and he sits with his legs slanted to take the pressure off.
We're moving country so I plan on using our move as his retirement and give him the easiest of life to led. I'll still keep up his nose and training but no more duty.
I'm finding it upsetting as I will eventually return to work but without him and it's a horrible feeling. I've never had a day at work without him.
I just needed to write this down as I'm PG and hormonal and just wanted to share my love I have for our family pet and my co-worker. God, I'm such a sap today!
