    Don't beat yourself Jamie. You look after Sherpie fantastically. No one could do more. I think short walks, chilling in the garden, and maybe the very occasional trip to the beach are all that he needs now. We are all with you Jamie, please remember that xxxx

    Jamie, I know firsthand how it feels to watch your young dog transition into an older dog. It’s always the hardest part of having a beloved animal by your side for so many years. Love and treasure every moment. And I know you do!💕

      I second this. We had a 14year old, much loved, labrador called Monty. At 14 he had to be finally put down in the middle of lockdown in May 2020. Our lovely vet came out to the car and he and I did it together in the boot of the estate car. The vet was as distressed as I was, he loved Monty, and he sent me a letter of condoleance afterwards. All I can say is the dog tells you when it is time. Keep doing what you are doing you have, as always, his best interests at heart.

      I too know what it's like to have an aging dog. It was hard realizing the 7 mile walks need to shrink to 3 miles then to a quick .5 walk down to a ride around the 7 mile walk zone. Deep sleep is scary cause it's so hard to wake them up. My girl was 15 1/2, She was weak on her back-end So I had to help her up the stairs by lifting her hips with a sling. So happy that Sherpa is enjoying his days the way he wants. Everything you are doing in my book is right. Love your video's 🥰🥰

    I’m going through this transition too. My girl just turned 16 which is old for a lab. Her arthritis is starting to get in her way. She struggles to walk, has hearing and vision issues, no longer plays with her toys but she loves food, loves her people and being in the yard. All we can do is give them the best until we know it’s time… ❤

      It is pricey but Deramax gave my dogs several extra good years so he made it to over 21 with his arthritis. My vet takes back the unused meds and gives them for free to people that need them so that is worth asking about as an option. I ended up donating hundreds of dollars of meds when my two dogs passed.

      Me too. My 15 year old Maltipoo Leo has arthritis and cataracts. The hardest part is when he isn’t eating well. He still loves his cousins (sister’s dogs), his walks (just not as long), and lots of cuddles. I’m just trying to give him lots of extra love and a great end of life time before living becomes harder than letting go for him.

      I started grieving when my missy began declining over several months and then I cried when she passed at the vets. She she a little over 13 1/2 yrs old. The best most loyal girl I’ve had. I miss her. And my senior cat passed a month before due to cancer so fading on her face. Talk about hard. She was such a beautiful smart pure white cat. And my little one passed a year later of old age. I had to take each of the 3 to the vet to pass peacefully. I have 4 girl dogs. 3 are 3 yrs old and the other is 5. 3 medium and a small. I still miss my other pets

    No need to apologize, Jamie. We understand and you know his limits better than we do. It does appear his appetite has perked up a bit. He does seem to still enjoy a short ride in the van or Jeep. And, although he can't chase his treaties like he once could, he still seems to enjoy it. Thank you for being the best dog dad in the world for Sherpa and sharing him with us around the world. We love him and we love you. Have a blessed day guys. 🥰🐾 --Paula in Ohio USA

I'm now watching my two greyhounds getting old, Rosie will be 12 soon and she's having a few problems. My two horses are both 28 and now have special need treatment. I love my old animals so much.

It felt wrong running by myself, then going for short dog walk after. Which turned into shorter and shorter walks. Now it is just me and my running.

I get to spend a few hours a day with some wonderful cats that come to stay and enjoy the amenities. They are all so different and I love them all. Some make more of an impression than others. I get to look after them as if they were my babies and I just love it. We do have to adapt to being temporary caretakers of these beautiful souls.

    It’s so hard to watch our fur babies becoming older. My rescue red fox lab Honey was almost 14 when she passed. But her last year and a half was hard for both of us. She still got excited to go out , but managed only about 20 minutes and she slowed right down. Sending love to Sherpa and Jamie. Stay strong!.

    I love older pets . Seeing them grow and change through the years means so much to me. I have been a subscriber for three months. I think Sherpa is absolutely gorgeous. I would love to take care of him in his senior years . Senior pets need more cognitive stimulation; lots of hugs and interaction with family. My 13.5 year old has had surgeries; has a slight limp and is very sassy. Love and cherish every moment together. ❤❤❤❤❤😊

    Do not worry about being happy just seeing you and Sherpa makes us happy. Short walks are great for him car rides are good and of course his garden. Just being with him is great. You can just be with him in his garden. It is so beautiful there. He is fortunate to have such a lovely place. It is gonna be alright. 😊 Life is all about making adjustments. Cheers

    I’ve been there Jaime. Your immense love for Sherpa is so obvious. And his love for you is incredibly obvious. Just keep on doing the great job you’ve been doing. Maybe take him to the vet to look at that eye. But one of the greatest things you’ve done for him, is give him his wonderful garden. You can see how happy he is there in that garden. I love seeing him take a snooze in that shelter you built him. He can even do it when it’s raining, brilliant !

We have 2 that are also at that stage and every day I make sure to do special things with them so they always know how very much they are loved. Sherpa knows how much you love him and that you will do everything you can to keep him healthy and happy. And he has so many other people that love him so much…all that love has got to help right?? You’re absolutely amazing with him and I’m so thankful you share this wonderful boy with us. He and you are always in my prayers. Love you so much sweet Sherpa. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Yes, growing old isn't easy and there are problems every now and then, BUT I know for a fact that with Dad by your side, you'll always maneuver your way through the problems.
    You are a well-coordinated, strong team.
    Jamie tries everything to give you the best you need and he does it absolutely brilliantly.

    Sherps will be fine as we know he's a strong beautiful boy. It also does'nt seem to make any difference to his sight, athough Sherps may take things a little slower now. Maybe it will be good to stay in his garden/house as he knows the room layout & where objects are as well. Plus he'll have you to help guide him if things become tricky when out.
    You seem to be right he just getting pickie with what he eats now that he's that bit older.

What is so neat about you and Sherpa, is that you have allowed Sherpa to be himself and let his personality shine through. It’s great how he loves the garden, and surely he knows he’s loved. Dogs are forever so clever. Thank you for sharing updates! Have a wonderful day. A fan from Michigan, “middle of the mitten”.

    Hi Jamie and Sherpa, I’m sending you love all the way from California. It’s hard for me to watch Sherpa, but I am so happy that he’s in your hands Jamie. It’s only hard for me to watch Sherpa because Sherpa reminds me of my sweet boy Kodiak and his sister Dakota they were huskies and they were litter mates, so Sherpa just brings back those memories. I appreciate you loving him the way that you do Jamie and giving him the best life ever again sending love from California.
