Hi friends, Ojo here!
It seems that I am turning into something called Old.
Vet says that I have arthritis. This must be why I can't catch bunnies anymore. Vet also says that I have something called lenticular sclerosis. This must be why I Bark birds in the grass. (They look like monsters!)
I have to take new medicines for the arthritis. My person hopes this might make me zoomier again! Keep your paws crossed for me, friends!
In the meantime, know that I still do lots of Walks, and some zoomies, and I still like to chase and climb and roll and play! And I like naps. Naps are good!

I hope the new meds work for you, Ojo. My paws are crossed!
Hi, Ojo! Being old just means taking things a little easier. All the good stuff is still there! Enjoy.
Dear Cousin Ojo,
we are also getting old. Phod wrote about it on Thursday. Old is hard and beautiful all at once. We hope we all enjoy every last moment (and maybe it is good for bunnies and the like when we get old). Your lake is beautiful. Cousin Lee and handsome Phod who are also old
Dear sweet Oso,hugs and prayers coming to you that the meds will help. Beau said to tell you life without zoomies is doable. He misses his orang thang ball, but has done ok without it and running zoomies, for 22 months. we were told he could never walk, or go to the park and to only walk him on leash for potty breaks. I decided if he could do it we would and on the 8th day, we started walking one house, then 2 houses then a block and for over a year he walked a mile a day and we did a 20 minute mile. now he is slowing down and we are only walking 3/4 mile and it take 25 miles. He is on Gabapenin and Meloxcam and has been for 22 months. I hope the meds work and there is life after arthritis, because Beaus mama and daddy both have it, we all are old and living a good life. As long as there is no pain, naps are great
We are right with you in slowing down, Ojo. We hope the new medicine help you feel better.
Naps are good no matter what your age! But I hope the medications do their job, and soon you are back to doing MORE of those fun zoomies again! Sending lots of love and positive vibes for you! ❤❤
Dear Ojo, we are sorry you now have arthritis, something Gail's family know all about. Horrid. Paws and fingers crossed here that the medications help.
Toodle-oo!

Sorry you're not feeling well, Ojo. As I always say, getting old sucks. Hopefully the new medications will help you feel better.
Ojo, Lightning sympathizes with you. He too has arthritis in his hips and knees. He is taking gabapentin, but mom isn't sure it is helping a lot. The vet wants him to keep moving and not become a couch potato. Mom tries but he doesn't like to go very far. Hpe you feel better.

Oh Ojo, you are not that old, you are just full of experiences and wisdom and love! Take your meds and enjoy all the fun you still get to have! And naps are GOOD!
Your friends Rosie and Redford
