Happy birthday Diggie!

That is awesome! When your breed (rottie) often don't live to 10, and 12 is almost a miracle, hearing about teens of any breed makes me happy. But your boy is lovely! WTG!

Thanks everyone! I just love this dog. He had steak tenderloin for dinner last night and was very disappointed to learn it was not still his Bday this morning when his breakfast was the normal kibble.
Happy B'day Digital! OMG, I would have to write down his "formal name" and keep it in my wallet, I would never be able to remember all of that! :D
confession: I have it all written out and stored on the computer. I can reconstruct it, but I have to write it out to make sure I don't miss anything. Of course it helps that he was always owner-handled. ;)

I also wanted to add that I think one of the reasons my boyz look so good at their age is that they were active in agility for many years. Last year Diggie started loosing some muscle mass in his thighs, so he now goes swimming once a week. You can see him featured on April 7th at the pool:

I wouldn't go as far as to say he enjoys swimming, but he's very good at it and I really think it is helping. And, in Colorado, it's hard to get much exercise in the winter. (Although we do seem to be experiencing global warming so far this winter.) Mike and Connie both tell me he's one of their fastest swimmers. ggg -
