All Saints Day

 And the un-saintly Liam turns 15 1/4 on All Saints Day

the fact of today being All Saints Day has no relevance to Liam being 15 1/4 today

it provided a title and it is a celebratory event

 if you want to know about it

here is a link

last blog I spoke of his aging behaviors

https://liamlicks.blogspot.com/2022/07/can-you-teach-old-dog-new-tricks.html

 more have appeared

unusual poses 

like sitting behind the fan not in front

watching TV through the cocktail table

cocking his head in unusual ways

idling in the living room with no clear purpose

 

following us

 

coming and going all night long has ramped up

at 3 or 4 am Liam now rings the poochie bells hanging on the door knob of the side door

sometimes he goes out

sometimes not

sometimes he produces a pee and a poop

or one or the other

sometimes he eats grass


 sometimes he stands in the yard 

he still loves chasing his kitty sibs

and deli food

he has developed a real  obsession for it 

he knows where it is

what bin

he loves it

ham, cheese, turkey

 

here he is resting his head on the second level of the cocktail table

he does ZOOMIES

and races around the 'hood on our walk.

pretty incredible  for a senior dog who underwent TPLO surgery last spring

It must be crazy to see two seniors running full speed around the neighborhood

I can still run at full speed

my only concern is that  Liam stops suddenly to sniff and I face plant on the ground

so far so good

I get a lot of Fitbit steps

and the week's highlight is sharing a Starbuck's croissant with Daddy Paul

and 

resting

with RBG


Happy 15 and 1/4 

Liam
