My Beni is app.10 and Kari will be 9 in a month. I wonder if Beni is playing me at times, though. This am (and a few other times before) Beni will lay down on our walk...no slowing down, no sign of being tired,...just flop down in specific places. I know the places where he wants a belly rub, but now he has been lifting his paw (as if he's hurt) or his tail will go down. I usually pick him up until he walks with Kari and me (we are quite a comical sight). This am Beni had no energy,and laid down UNTIL we went in the direction he wanted to go....then he perked up immediately, he even tried to chase another dog!..Now I don't know if I need advice on an aging dog, or a wily shiba!
