  Happy Spring to the Golden Seniors from Anonymous

 "In Memory of my Abby"

This handsome senior is Walter!  Walter was dumped in northern Iowa with 2 other senior dogs and taken in by some wonderful people who let the 3 of them sleep in the barn with assorted other animals.  We do not know his age but guess him to be over 10.  He is a sweet dog but does have some issues with his back legs.  The vet thinks that he had an injury to the right leg in the past that was never addressed so arthritis has set in making it painful for him to get up and down. We started him on a little pain medicine and I have to tell you, we have a new dog!  He now gets up to come see me when I get home and is always ready to go for a walk.  He actually came up our stairs last night to visit me in the computer room which he had not done in the 2 weeks that we have had him. He weighs in at about 85 pounds but is not overweight. He is just a very tall boy and very strong.  As a senior he does come with several lumps and bumps but the vet has looked at them and is not concerned.  He has gotten along great with our other 3 dogs (a chow mix, a Great Pyrenees mix and a Golden) but when charged by a little "ankle biter" that was loose, he did curl his lip a little.  But, I actually felt MY lip curl a little, so I would not hold that against him!!!  He always wants to meet and greet the people/dogs that we pass on our walks so I really wouldn't be concerned with him around anyone. 

Walter deserves so much better than his previous family gave him and if you are looking for a sweet senior man to hang out with, this is your guy. Please contact RAGOM and we can visit!!
