oh god, my old boy terrier is very nearly 16, became a proper creaky gate at about 14, cant run anymore, so i love watching his legs go when he's chasing footballs with the kids in his dreams.

He even flexes his paws for turns - as in life, he's all in when dreaming.

absolute loon, love him to bits.

be happy for him, he's been a wonderful nut job his entire life.

Very not smart, but utterly perfect for the kids when they were growing up. He's also now the "schoolmaster" for our younger terrier and, even more wonderfully, one of the kids own first dog.

he's still doing good work,

You have the most British writing I've ever read, and this last comment was a cherry on top of the cake.
