We inherited Elijah when my mother passed. People often describe their pets as their children, so by that logic, he’s my brother since he was my moms.
Elijah is an old man at 16 years of age, but he gets around really well.
generally speaking, he’s a well-behaved dog at home, but he gets cranky at the virility of youth when he encounters a younger dog at the dog park, so he doesn’t get the opportunity to play with others very much.
