::waving:: HIII!!! Yup! Thats my Cooper, our 7 y/o GSP.
I love meeting other shorthair Mommas! @ the 5k this weekend there was a festival afterwards, & I met a girl an 11 & 12 y/o shortairs, one all solid liver, the other liver & white ticked w/patches like mine.
I used to run w/him, but he's had 3 knee surgeries (1 Rt, 2 Lt) so I don't anymore. Ever since his last surgery in Feb, where the Vet removed part of the fishing line & a crimp in his Lt knee (which is the hardware she put in during the 1st surgery), he's been getting seromas (fluid build-up that can cause an infection). So, enough is enough, no more running w/Mommy He's fine running around like a crazy-person in the yard, or up @ our cabin, but for some reason distance running & him just don't mix. It was tough learning to run w/o him! I swore I'd never be able to, & also, I didn't want to be one of those people out exercising & leaving my super active dog @ home. But, we have to do whats safe for him. So we walk him & then I go for a run & he stays home w/MH.
