My dog Jake aged 12 years

Jake is a Collie Cross dog aged 12 years.
I got him from the Freshfield Dogs Home in Liverpool. He was a small frightened nervous 5 week old puppy who had been abandoned. He needed lots of love care and attention. He is still active although he has slowed down considerably. He loves his daily walks in the countryside nearby but cannot go as far and is tired out and sleeps a lot afterwards. He still enjoys being chased and being naughty and pinching socks though. He has a few fatty lumps and bumps due to old age but hopefully he will be with us for a few more years to come as we love him so much.

Collies Rule!

My border collie, Tess (see my post if you like), didn't obviously slow down until she was about 13. She certainly didn't show any signs of losing that puppy attitude - still chasing balls and enjoying a playful run with me in the garden or across fields. Jake looks like he has a playful twinkle in his eye and so I would guess he is similar. Enjoy!
