Choya is Six!

Choya turns six years old today. She doesn't need extravagant cakes or any sort of parties. She's happiest spending the day and the week in the way she normally does, with her fav humans and floofs around. We got her a cake to pose with, and we humans ate it. LOLOLOL. Little Favors' last seasonal cake of September — strawberry, salted sakura leaf and matcha. 

Obviously she doesn't get that much extra cheese. Hallo, the point is NOT TO LAOSAI OKAY. So I split all her food treats over the week. Choya gets oysters and a nice slab of NZ grass-fed tenderloin. We also got some cupcakes from In Good Thyme to share with floof-fwens. 

Dogs are considered senior dogs in the last 25% of their expected lifespan. Choya will be considered a senior dog in two years when she turns eight. I'm hoping that she exhibits signs of old age only at ten. Her nutrient profile will shift as she ages, and according to the potential ailments that might weaken her. I'll need to know how to tweak her diet. Before that, I should have time to delve deeper into canine nutrition and exercise for senior dogs.  

My cheeky smol girl is still cheeky. With each passing year, my wish of 10 more good years with her diminishes. She's ageing every day. I'm getting older. I know the deal. I'll do all I can to keep myself nimble and flexible, and to keep her safe and healthy, and happy. I want her to live her best life, and this one little canine soul will know joy and love. Now, that's a wish I wish would come true.
