It’s time for a well-earned retirement for these guys. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nobody stays young forever. Because sadly we have not yet discovered the secrets of immortality. So until then, we have to get ready to say goodbye to our best friends. I am sure you already know what I am talking about. Dogs of course! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You didn’t think I was gonna say humans right? Because that would be hilarious. No matter how much we don’t want this to be true. The puppy we got as a child will probably be all grown up by the time you are an adult and it would be time for his ‘retirement’<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However bittersweet that may be. At least we all had the best years together. So that is why today we are focusing on the olden years of a doggo. And I have to say they are just as adorable as when they were little puppies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
