Beth, Good to hear that at age 11 your dog is still doing well!! I'd hate to see my little guy in pain from arthritis and I hope he continues to be healthy for many years to come. He is my little angel and I just can't imagine why he was an unwanted pet in the first place! I'm just super glad that I have him now. He eats the best food, gets his glucosamine and is spoiled rotten :) I'm going to look into getting him swimming lessons to keep the legs strong. Jessica in CT
