Dogsitting my sister and brother in-laws mini Dachshund "Rocky". Here he is with our Drahthaar Marx. First picture was taken 8 years ago. Rocky was about 12 weeks old, Marx was 4 yrs old.
Second pic was taken 3 days ago. Marx prefers to stand vs. sitting. He has developed arthritis in his back and spondylosis. He still has the mind of a pup with the body of an old man. He's a sweet guy. It will be a terribly sad day when he goes. Puts a lump in my throat thinking about it.
Rocky's front legs and neck have some graying and he'll need to have some teeth tended to at the vet when he goes home(discovered when I gave them a cleaning yesterday!). Otherwise he's still doing pretty good. He is a tenacious little guy. I spent a lot of time training him as a pup so he minds me well and is a joy to watch.

Funnily enough I saw this last night on the old dogs trust site

Softest loving dog I’ve ever had and lazy git will walk / run all day if you wake her up first. But you could use her a pillow and won’t move till I do.

Grand daughter climbs all over her and never anything more than a whimper when she’s had a a little finger stuffed in her mouth or eye.

couldn’t recommend the breed more

"Vinny." A 5 year old English Mastiff with his favorite toy, an atv tire. He loves to carry it around like this and is very protective of it. Has also put a few dents in the family car with it.
He's actually very well behaved. When brought to work, his owner puts a baby gate across the office door opening "to keep him honest".

Feeling sorry for himself today after a trip to the vets.
He’s had a dodgy stomach and we weren’t sure if he’d managed to swallow a sock (as he loves them and grabs one any chance he gets), two nights of letting him out in the garden every half hour was enough.
Vet couldn’t find anything so plain food and meds for a couple of days and see how he goes.
