My 3 Golden Oldies - Good news

[Love my Cavaliers]

There's so much gloom and doom about cavaliers, I thought I would share some good news. I have 3 cavaliers who are all elderly. Riley has SM, had decompression surgery when she was almost 7 years old, has been on prednisone since her surgery and is still alive and kicking at age 14 and 3/4! No heart murmur. There are times I have to check that she's still breathing, but then she hears the treat jar opening and she's right there waiting for her treat!
Madison, Riley's half-sister, is deaf, but other than that she has no health issues. She races out of the bedroom every morning like a puppy. She is 13 and 1/2. No heart murmur.
Oz, my baby, has inflammatory bowel disease controlled by diet and metaclompramide. He also has PSOM and is on gabapentin 100 mg 3 times/day. He has a grade 1 congenital heart murmur that has not changed since it was discovered at 6 months of age. He will be 10 in 2 and 1/2 months.
We lost Oliver a little over a year ago at age 14 and 1/2. No heart murmur.
I have been so blessed with my cavaliers. Even with Riley's SM. I'm thankful every day.

Hi Bev!
I'm not here very often anymore, but I do like to check periodically. I've often wondered how you and your pups were doing. I am so happy to hear they are all doing so well! Senior dogs are so special and it is wonderful to know that they are enjoying life to the fullest.

Delighted to read a good news post. I don't be here often either but do pop in and out sometimes. Lovely to read that your dogs are doing well x
