Signs to look out for earlier and possibly medicate/diet/occupy accordingly have now been educated:
*Wandering/pacing (especially after dark, lost bearings )
* Anxiety/Excessive licking (paws, faces etc..)
* Unknown displays of dominance (tucker bowl wars and frustrated anger)
List does apparently go on but we should not forget that in age we are allowed to get a little bit cranky I guess?

Sorry to hear Mark, Dell is known to a lot of us on here.
Is it something that diet can help with? Probably not but changing my dog over to "science diet" dog food gave him better quality of life for his last year and half.

Thanks Tony, yes I believe so too mate, we’re off to the vet booking this morning for blood testing and future care plans for her.
As Plassy kindly mentioned she’s always patrolled the property but never left the boundaries. Scarily was found 3kms away the other night walking down the middle of the highway completely lost.

15 I think mate, she probably should have received a letter from the Queen some 5 (doggy years) ago
