Duke had a vet appt on Tuesday of this week - he was due for his Bordetella and Lepto shots. We saw a new vet that we had never seen before, and she could not believe that Duke is going to be 5 in August. And, it wasn't just like oh he looks good for his age, but she was baffled that everything (health, body condition, energy level, etc.) seemed like that of a much younger dog. She even mentioned that normally they would consider Duke a geriatric at 7, but she'd be shocked if she saw him in with any geriatric issues at that age - let's hope she's right!
It's great to hear that my big boy is able to stump vets with his age! Let's hope it means that he's got lots of happy, healthy years ahead of him! I know that no one believes me when I tell them his age - everyone always thinks he's a puppy, but to hear it come from a vet is some of the best news an owner can get :)
