LATEST NEWS   OCTOBER 8, 2007 - KING PASSED AWAY AT 6:50PM IN HIS BACKYARD.

GO HERE (ACTIVITY PAGE). KING IS STILL A VERY GOOD WALKER, HAS EXCELLENT BEHAVIOUR AND A GOOD TEMPERAMENT. I GET MANY COMMENTS ON HOW CALM HE IS AND GOOD WITH PEOPLE. KING IS NOT CHANGING INTO A DOG THAT CAN'T BE TRUSTED. KING HAS AGED AND NOW A SENIOR DOG. YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN HIS APPEARANCE AND HIS ACTIONS AFTER LONG WALKS. HIS PHYSICAL HEALTH IS GOOD BUT HE DOES HAVE  MINOR ARTHRITIS IN HIS FRONT LEG (where he shows it). HE'S ON GLUCOSAMINE (vitamin for joint support & pain) FOR IT PLUS TO KEEP HIS BONES/JOINTS STRONG AS HE'S BEEN SHOWING HIS LEGS GET STIFF AFTER LAYING DOWN AFTER WALKS. HE'S BEEN ON GLUCOSAMINE SINCE OCTOBER 2005. DURING THE WINTER KING SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN A LOT AND BE SLEEP MORE. I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I BELIEVE THAT THIS SUMMER WILL BE HIS LAST ADVENTUROUS SUMMER. NEXT YEAR HE'LL HAVE TO SLOW RIGHT DOWN AND BE MOSTLY A YARD DOG THAT TAKES THE OCCASIONALLY WALK OR HIKE. KING HURT HIS BACK RIGHT HIP IN MID MARCH OF 2007 AND HAS BEEN REALLY HAVING TROUBLE WALKING LONG DISTANCES. IN MID MAY KING HAS SEEMED TO RECOVERED TO ALMOST FULL CAPACITY. BUT I KNOW ONE SLIP/INJURY WILL LIMIT HIS ACTIVITIES FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. AS A UNALTERED DOG, SPRING GIVES HIM A EXTRA BOOST TO DRIVE HIM TO THE NEXT SPOT
