We missed spending our weekends in the backyard. I wanted to stop driving so much and spending all my money on dog things. I was burnt out from the political, darker side of dog showing and I felt less and less a part of the overall dog show community. Basically in the end it stopped being fun.

Retirement is a happy time for Jeeves.
He is as healthy as ever and very strong. He is about the same, activity wise, perhaps a little less active. Jeeves spends his days relaxing. He is a house dog. If we are at work, Jeeves is inside, mostly sleeping.
