She gets around pretty well and has a good appetite but is deaf as a fence post. The boys take care of her and she's learned some signs. And we still talk to her like she can hear us...smh.
My boys (6 and 4) still aren't showing signs of heart issues...thankfully, as it's a common affliction in the breed.
Good for her, I think it's 3/6, might be better than you think at 10 years.
Best of luck to her.
They are saying three or four out of six. I didn't make that very clear.
She gets lots of extra care and is even fed a special mixture of food away from the boys so she doesn't have to deal with their shenanigans.

Sorry, the 3-4 is very easily my misunderstanding. Sometimes I'm just a 3-4 dick.

Fourth AKC tracking title completed today (Ankeny IA). You can't get any better, Lexy will only compete now for fun. My wife, I'm pretty sure the obsession will continue.

Got it for the feline, but of course she doesn't care a lick for it.

Get some catnip, crush some up between your fingers to release the oil and rub some of the catnip on the scratching post and rub some onto the platforms and into the cubby. That's how my cat gets used to a new cat tree...just got him a new one a few weeks ago and it worked great.
Right now it smells like new and is strange. Catnip is the trick.

Ended up getting a fancy self-cleaning litter box.

Or fish, live or dead. Please use the same crushing technique. Take pictures.

No pics -
The vet clinic called and Ziggy's surgery went well. Can pick him up later this afternoon.
That's gonna be a fun one to pay...it was 'just' a dental but that breed has dental issues that can worsen their heart issues so it's a big deal. Estimate is $700.00. Yikes
Gotta have Quinn's done when I can amass more cash.

PS to the above - it's quite obvious the bond between the three dogs as the other two are acting nuts with Ziggy gone for the day.

$840.00 later, Zig's home. A little groggy but happy to be home. Teefies are nice and clean and white again. Now seven more days of antibiotics. I'll need to sell a kidney to get Quinn's teeth done.
