A spry ol' pup when he turned 13

Our Samoyed named Salt turned 17 today! We breathed a sigh of relief at midnight last night – he made it!! We got Salt when we were living in Boston, 7 years ago, at the MSPCA. He was even “on sale” due to his size and age! Ever since he came into our lives, he’s been a great, easy going dog.

At 17 years, Salt is equivalent to about 99-104 years old in “human years” (he’s about 60 pounds).

So what’s the old guy doing today? He is resting up for a big night out, that’s what!

How about those purple balloon shoes? They help with his slipping and weak legs. We may have to upgrade to a less balloon-y style…

Dreaming about days of yore when he used to chase squirrels, bark during car rides, and frolic in the surf!

Happy Birthday Salt, you old dog you!
