A few days ago Mr. Drummer was eating grass, presumably because his stomach was upset. He did throw up later in the day, including a rather large rock.
That night I woke up to a horrible smell at 4am. Drummer had explosive diarrhea all down the stairs, even on the wall. It took me two hours to clean it all up.
He has also been having problems with his back legs and hips. He gets up with more difficulty, and literally fell out when trying to get out of the truck.
I took him to the Double Bluff beach, walking just a little farther than usual. On the way back he needed to lay down and rest every 60 feet.
Drummer will be ten years old July 19th of this year, outliving the average Irish Wolfhound by 2-3 years. But his clearly an old gentleman at this point.
