He's slowing down - I'm not deceiving myself. Last weekend, he got incredibly stiff and I had to help him get up every time he needed to. But he walked it off. This weekend he is slow, careful, but still the boss.
When I sit with him on the floor, the other dogs walk a wide circle. He might not move as swiftly as he once did, but he has a persona of power, and when it comes to my lap, he rules. After nearly 13 years, it's unspoken.
I was 15 when he came into our lives and today's hanging out session is similar to what we did for days on end all that time ago. Sitting, petting, sleeping, resting.
Mainly, being friends.

I thought you were talking about me, Holly.lol. Actually, I was wishing it could be me. Love you kid. Oh yeah, give the old man a pat on the head for me. I miss him too!!!!!
I love this. Animals awaken such an integral part of love within us that I never experienced until I met/have Toki. And the best part: He's now more loyal to me than to my ex. Win :)
