Bummer...

Doggie Alzheimer's Disease is more commonly known in veterinary circles as CCDS- Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome. It is characterized by a number of symptoms which I now recognize as having been with Skip for the three years I have had him. They are becoming more noticable now that he is older and his symptoms are getting a bit more serious.

 The previous article gives a pretty thourough overview of the situation. It's a bummer but hey he's family so we will make some accomodations, make the best of a crummy situation  and enjoy the little old man while we've got him.

***I think it's time to kick back and take a break...so thanks for following. I will be sure to post any especially adorable pics as they occur...thanks again!
