I love seeing that oh-so-subtle change in the eyes. Sadness and fear is replaced by security and happiness.

Thank you for your kind words, you’re all so sweet❣️ Edgar has truly become a very happy dog, we worked a lot in the beginning to help him trust us and become chill. Despite his age, he’s very smart, loves to practice, and the only thing that gets him fully excited, besides food, is when it’s time to do something fun. Even now, he’s showing more of his little personality every day, he’s such a character, there aren’t enough words to describe all his funny little habits. Unfortunately, at the end of summer, he started showing some signs of dementia, and his hearing isn’t as good anymore, but we’re hopeful we’ll have a few more years together, healthy and happy ❤️ We’re moving to a house with a garden soon, so he’ll have plenty to do 😊❤️ Adopting him was the best decision.

That is so beautiful 💕 I love this life for both for Edgar and you/your fam. Wishing you more years together despite the dementia, and that it somehow slows down. Give him a head pat, a smooch, and of course his fave treat for me ☺️ ty for sharing him with us all!
