Taffy
What can I say about our dog…hmmmm he is kinda old but he made my first year in the US a memorable one.First of all Taffy is a 17 year old cocker spaniel(old huh?)My husband got him 14 years ago when he was 3,they adore each other aside from both of them adoring me..hahaha!!Taffy should I say is one of the reason I like walking around Belmont Heights.He looovess to walk around just a few blocks from our house and knows when that time is….me with his leash in hand.He cant stop but be too excited about it that it takes a while before I can put his leash on his neck.Sometimes we would jog, but he is way too old for my stamina.He would be out of breath after 2 blocks so I have no choice but to just walk instead.He loves smelling the outside world..(I mean he is basically home 7 days a week,so who wouldnt love a treat)There is only one thing I dont like though when I take him to walk…that is the yucky part of it….he loves to leave his own scent along the pavement and sometimes its not just that squirt of pee but…you know what I mean,,,that yucky thing I have to pick up while its hot(duh).But now..I feel sorry for him he is not the same Taffy he used to be (according to hubby).Athletic and vibrant.He is getting too old(for a dog).He pees on the floor, starting to shed a lot of his hair and getting a lot of cyst all over him.
Also whenever my hubby would go camping he makes staying alone in our house a not so scary one.
I really hope that he will still make it a couple more year.He showed me so much love and affection even if I seldom reciprocate.I would willingly give him a bath if he gets too stinky.In my heart Taffy is a great friend and companion.
