Poor Pup Pups

Ever since we brought Sadie Rose home over 5 years ago she has had a handful of names, but Pup Pups was one of her main nicknames. She was 1 when we got her from the rescue and so puppy like still. The name just stuck. Now as a 6 year old we've laughed because we still call her that. Shane will even tell you that "Mommy calls DeDe Pup Pups".

Most of her life with us she has ran with Kenny. Any where from 4-5 days a week. In the last few recent months she has had a really hard time on the runs that once were so easy for her. She started to stop half way through them. Kenny adapted by bringing her home in the middle of the run so she could at least get some exercise in. She just loves it and knows exactly what is happening when Kenny gets ready to walk out the door to run.

This morning she stopped half through her half run. Poor Pup Pups is going to have to be officially retired from running. We've also decided we need to change her nickname to Old Lady Sadie.

She doesn't appear to be in any pain or having joint issues that we can tell. It just seems her stamina has stopped. I'm sure she has many more years ahead of her with us, just not running with Kenny any more.
