Hello all
Hi
I've just come across this forum so thought I would sign up and say hello.
I have a staffy who is 16 years old. She is in good health and does not have arthritis. I take her for about 1hr 15 mins (average walk) daily. For the first 20 mins or so of the walk she runs around like a puppy and then she slows down, sniffing and trotting along.
Bodywise - She is muscley - you can see the outline of her ribs and she has a waist, however she does not have a tuck. She had a hysterectomy many years ago and since then she has had a dropped tummy. Do you think it will stay like that or should I be feeding her less?
Any comments would be most appreciated.

Re: Hello all
Again, welcome from us and Suki. At her age I would just feel blessed that she is still active and not worry about apperances. You have to open a
photo bucket account and copy the URL code to post a pic. It's free and I can't wait to see a pic.

Hi & welcome!
At 16 I think she has the right to a little bit of a tummy! What a fantastic age. If it's due to being spayed, I doubt you could do anything anyway.
Really would love to see some pics!
