Harper B for Luck

Harper B and I headed out for a sniff.

Since we were just going down the dirt road to a nearby field she got to ride loose in the van. Daring!

Harper B for Be 12 Soon is not only my oldest Berner ever, she is the only old Berner I have had who wasn’t dealing with a health issue in older age.

Knock on wood 🍀, Harper is just aging. Not sick and aging — just aging.

That could change, of course, but her recent exam and bloodwork were all just normal.

I have been envious of friends who have dogs that die of old age and not some wicked cancer.

What would that be like?” I wondered.

I still don’t know the answer.

But I do know what it is like to have a creaky but healthy almost 12-year-old Berner.

It’s amazing.

I am so lucky 🍀

And I wish the same for all of us.
