my canine senior citizen

Today is Sadie's 14th birthday. In human terms, that makes her 98, or the oldest living Rolnick (just edging out Kenny and Chloe's Great Grandpa Jesse). And while she's showing more and more signs of age (creaky joints, loss of hearing, diminished sight and a preference for eating meals at odd hours in order to get the discount), she's still fairly spry. Cause she's awesome.

It may also be her advancing age that has helped her transition to having Chloe around so seamlessly. Whereas she greeted Kenny's arrival with some serious skulking around, she greeted Chloe's arrival with a quick sniff and an indifferent shrug. It was as if she said, "So, you had another one. Good for you. Keep her away from my toys and call me when she starts eating food that can be dropped on the ground." That's my girl.

Happy Birthday to the Sadist! My favorite furry curmudgeon (no offense, GG).
