But after meeting the twelve year-old Welsh Corgi I quickly learned that &#8212; at least to her &#8212; age is just a number. Yes, there are the minor inconveniences that come with growing older that she has to deal with, but she doesn&#8217;t let them come between her and her ability to enjoy the many things life has to offer &#8212; things like treats, runs in the park, and the chance to let the wind ruffle her fur as she hangs out the car window.<\/p>\n<p>If for no other reason, this is why I will always look fondly back on my brief time with Dee Dee and her people as a chance to enjoy the company of a truly sweet dog that has found a wondrous opportunity to share her love, and receive so much in return.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter p3-downsized\" title=\"050612_DeeDee_01\"
