Hello, I'm Merlin and I'm already 21 years old. My owner is absolutely thrilled. She says that I've "fallen into a fountain of youth and am like a different person." Well, she's probably got something mixed up - I'm still a dog, a Spitz to be precise. But I can understand that she's totally confused because she thought my time had come. Now she's even happier that I'm getting better again so unexpectedly.
Do you want to know what happened?
Some time ago I wasn't enjoying my dog's life at all. It's not that easy when you're 21 years old - you're just an old dog man. I was no longer interested in what was going on around me, I mostly just lay around. My mistress thought I had dementia. Sometimes I didn't realize in time when I had to go - which was totally embarrassing.
And I didn't feel like eating any more. My mistress wanted me to eat something - but I didn't want to. She was annoying me. I just didn't want to eat any more. And then she suddenly arrived with cookies. With cookies!!!
Otherwise she never gave me treats, she always thought they were unhealthy.
The treat looked kind of gray-green, but for her sake I tried it. And you know what? It was really tasty! I chewed and swallowed - and my mistress was thrilled! Then she brought over a whole bag - she'd never done that before! It said on the packet that the cookies were developed with vets and only contain natural ingredients.
Well then, let's have it! She gave me another and another - and I ate one treat after another.
It actually said on the packet that I shouldn't eat so much because it contains CBD. I didn't care - it tasted good! My mistress didn't care either - the main thing was that I finally ate something!
I slept wonderfully that night, nothing hurt anymore. That was so nice! And the next day my mistress said I was as good as new. The day after that, she told everyone that I had fallen into a fountain of youth.
I really feel much younger again.
I'm happy when people come, I jump up and wag my tail. Dementia? Not me at all! I can also control my weeing better again. I think my mistress has bought enchanted cookies. I hope she orders more in time!
Keep your fingers crossed for me,
Your Merlin
