An Old Spaniel . Top Story - October 2026.
I have never had a dog die of old age. I do not know what to expect. Lucy’s ears have gone silver, her face is mask, and her paws are flecked with gray. After breakfast she wants a nap in the sun before she will regard the day. On walks she tires sooner and insists on a slow pace.
