I'm writing this entry on Sunday, October 14th and these photos were taken this past winter. Zelia is finally really slowing down and showing her age. For the past week, she's had trouble negotiating stairs and she's not comfortable using the stairs in the garage anymore. I've increased her pain medication and have a doctor's appointment. She's still doing great on her walks, so I know she's happy with her life. But I want to make sure that she's comfortable and getting the best treatment she can for her various lumps, bumps, and arthritises!
