He could run for miles and never tired chasing jack rabbits. He's living a calmer quieter life now at the age of 12.
I was away working at Information Access Company in Belmont, CA while Ashes lived with my parents in Scottsdale but that sounds very familiar. Ashes could run back in forth in our back yard for a good hour before the Valley Fever, she had problems running after that. Then the arthritis set in after my parents moved to Rohnert Park, CA. I was at Law School for much of this time at the U of MN.
