Life Lessons From An Old Dog

Posted on 11. Feb, 2009 by Karen in Caregiving, Inspiration

old-dog Meet Stump, a 10-year old dog which is about 70 canine years.  But not just any old dog because this exceptionally persuasive Sussex spaniel got the judges at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Show to pick him as the winner over all the young pups prancing around the ring.  And he’s the first in his breed ever to win the Westminster.  Stump is now “top dog” worldwide.  You go Stump!

Stump had been in retirement before the show and almost died a few years back from some mysterious illness.  But with more spunk left than anyone, including his owner, could have imagined, Stump showed the world that he could still strut his stuff.  Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

Or better yet, who defines what old is?  Think there’s a lesson here.  Even a dog can figure out that you’re only as old as you think you are.  So think young.

Thanks Stumps for the great life lesson and congratulations!!

    I am proud if old Stump for 2 reasons. He proves that as we get older, we get better and more dignified.

    Stump also represents the dogs who have weathered it all and have come out winners.
