Luna- Middle Age Gray

Luna is showing good muscle tone as her winter undercoat begins to grow.  At the age of 5, her muzzle is starting to gray similar to MacKenzie’s, a female of similar pelage from our 1993 litter.  Luna is maintaining a weight of about 103 – 105 lbs.  While we would like to get her weight under 100 lbs., this is not the season to attempt this.  As winter approaches, she definitely needs resources to help her through the colder weather.  We are watching for additional signs of aging that may affect her joints.  In this photo, her back right hip has some play socket that is noticeable while she is sitting.  While it may be subtle now, these are the details that need to be scrutinized as Luna ages.
