Since Beau is getting older, I've been thinking more about how life is going to be without him. He's been in my life since I was 15 years old, I've had him since he was a pup, he was the FIRST dog that was truly MINE. And here he is 8 years old and going gray in the face on me. He's starting to slow down as well and I had a scare with him a few days ago when it seemed like he injured his back, but he's back to 100% now. And it got me to thinking, he's older now and he's NOT getting any younger and I love that damn smelly ass, loud ass, jackass more then life itself. But I know his day is coming closer each day that passes and it's been kinda weighing down on my shoulders lately.

Do you guys think of this as your dogs get older, do you think about when that time comes? Does it bother you at all like it does me?
