Lazy died yesterday afternoon at a ripe old age of 15+ years. We didn't know his exact age since he was a stray dog, but we have had him for the past 13 years and the vet estimated he was 2-3 years old when he arrived here. As I said, he was a stray. We first saw him out the window laying under a some farm equipment, but then he had wandered off... so we thought. Later that day, we were all outside after dinner, and some of us girls were playing with a ball near the house while Andrew was in the stroller, when the ball we were playing with accidentally rolled under the porch. I was going to retrieve the ball, but when I looked under the porch, this dog came running out at me. My sisters and I ran screaming to Mom who was in the garden... forgetting about Andrew who was still sitting there in the stroller. Fortunately, Lazy followed us and didn't bother him. He turned out to be a nice dog, so when we turned him over to Animal Control we said that if nobody claimed him, we would adopt him. No one claimed him, so that is how he came to be our dog.
