Tenth Birthday
Flushing, New York
Yoshi turned 10 years old on Halloween, marking a decade of her life in Flushing.
She still lives with her family.
Her vision is worse and she throws up more frequently. But for an old dog, she still acts like a puppy, playing fetch and running wide grass fields faster than anyone.
She no longer likes apples, but still likes vanilla ice cream (and vanilla in general) and nosing her owners under the elbows when she wants to sleep. She still hides when someone says the word "bath." She still fears walking over grates. She still chases cats and squirrels and spends her spare time nagging her family for food and a game of fetch.
