I'll start with some of the last pictures of 2013:
Christmas 2013
A few days before Christmas, it appeared as if Primo had a series of strokes. I took him to the vet, fearing the worst but learning that he had a mild and common condition called vestibularitis, easily remedied with the human drug meclizine. He was also cleared to take Rimadyl for his arthritis after recovering. He quickly took to the Rimadyl, running and leaping on our daily walks, showing the exuberance he did as a young dog.
My mom sent my dad a subtle message about his attitude.
